Low voltage switchgear

 

The switchboard and switchgear are both critical components of any electrical system. However, there is a lot of confusion about the two terms in the electrical industry. A closer look at their functions, physical design and testing standards reveals dissimilarities between the two.

Switchboards and Switchgear have different functions as well as capabilities. Whether you would want to use switchgear or switchboard will largely depend on the requirement of the power systems. For a better understanding, let us differentiate between the two based on their functions and other parameters.

What is Switchgear?

Switchgear is a term that describes a collection of switching devices that serve to control, protect and isolate power systems. Also, the definition will extend to circuit breakers and devices that meter a power system. During power breakdowns, switchgear will trigger an automatic reaction and interrupt the power flow. This is turn would protect the electrical circuits from damage. Low voltage switchgear

What Are The Main Components Of Switchgear?

It also consists of drawout casset circuit breakers and other devices for protection, metering, and control regulation.

Switchgear Voltages can Range from 480V Low Voltage thru 350kV Medium Votlage

What Are SwitchBoards?

A switchboard is a single large panel, frame, assembly of switches, fix mount circuit breakers, overcurrent and other protective devices. Field technicians can access these assemblies from the rear as well as from the front. Switchboards are similar to panelboards and normally come with 600V of power and are usually 1600Amps and higher. Panelboards are typically 1200Amps and lower.
