In modern power systems, low voltage switchgear plays a vital role. They are key components used to control, protect and monitor power equipment.
Switchgear refers to a collection of circuit breakers, fuses and switches (circuit protection devices) used to protect, control and isolate electrical equipment. Circuit protection devices are installed in metal structures. One or more collections of these structures are called switchgear or switchgear sets. Switchgear is commonly found in power utility transmission and distribution systems and large and medium-sized commercial or industrial facilities.
Low voltage switchgear is a three-phase power distribution product designed to safely, efficiently and reliably provide power with a voltage of up to 1000V and a current of up to 6000A. The low voltage switchgear commonly used in our country is rated at 400V and a continuous current main bus rated current of up to 6000A for power supply from parallel power sources.
Low voltage switchgear is usually located on the low voltage side of the distribution transformer. This combination of transformer and switchgear is called a substation. Low voltage switchgear is commonly used to power low voltage motor control centers, low voltage switchboards, and other branch and feeder circuits. It is used to power critical power and critical process applications such as heavy industry, manufacturing, mining and metals, petrochemical, pulp and paper, utilities, water treatment, and applications in data centers and healthcare.
