A distribution type modular substation belongs to the technical field of substation equipment, and especially relates to a distribution type modular substation. The invention provides a distribution type modular substation which can reduce the workload on site, and is of high safety and small site area. The modular substation comprises a 110kV prefabricated cabin, transformer prefabricated cabins, a 10kV prefabricated cabin, grounding transformer arc suppression coil prefabricated cabins, an automatic cabin and a reactive cabin. The modular substation is structurally characterized in that the 110kV prefabricated cabin, the transformer prefabricated cabins and the grounding transformer arc suppression coil prefabricated cabins fall into a first group; the transformer prefabricated cabins are arranged on the two sides of the 110kV prefabricated cabin; the grounding transformer arc suppression coil prefabricated cabins are arranged outside the transformer prefabricated cabins respectively; and the 110kV prefabricated cabin, the transformer prefabricated cabins and the grounding transformer arc suppression coil prefabricated cabins are arranged on and penetrate through a first foundation.
