switchgear
Switchgear is a crucial component in the electrical infrastructure, designed to control, protect, and isolate electrical equipment. Its main functions include interrupting, making, or changing the connections in an electrical circuit to protect electrical equipment from damage caused by excess current. Technological features of switchgear encompass arc interruption capabilities, fault current handling, and integrated control systems that enhance safety and reliability. Applications of switchgear range from power generation stations to transmission and distribution systems, as well as industrial and commercial facilities where electrical systems require high levels of safety and performance.
