Market Overview

In an electrical power system, switchgear is the apparatus that controls, regulates, and switches on or off the electrical circuit. Switches, fuses, circuit breakers, isolators, relays, current and potential transformers, indicating instruments, lightning arresters, and control panels are examples of switchgear devices. The power supply system is linked directly to the switchgear system. It is installed on the high and low voltage sides of the power transformer. It is used to turn off the equipment's power so that it can be tested and maintained, as well as to clear the fault. When a fault in the power system occurs, a large number of current flows through the equipment, destroying it and disrupting service. Therefore, automatic protective devices, also known as switchgear, are required to safeguard the lines, generators, transformers, and other electrical equipment. The basic components of automatic protective switchgear are the relay and circuit breaker. When any part of the system fails, the relay for that part of the system activates and closes the breaker's trip circuit, effectively disabling it. The healthy part of the system continues to supply loads as usual, resulting in no equipment damage and no total supply disruption. Outdoor switchgear and indoor switchgear are the two main types of switchgear. For voltages greater than 66kV, the output switchgear is used.
