Electrical switching devices that switch, control, meter, regulate, isolate, and protect electrical circuits and equipment are referred to as switchgear. Switches, circuit breakers, switch fuse units, contractors, H.R.C. fuses, offload isolators, and earth leakage circuit breakers are some of the products covered by switchgear. The switchgear is constructed by connecting these components in a logical order.
The switchgear can be used to clear faults downstream and de-energize equipment to allow for work to be done. This device has a direct link to the electrical supply’s reliability. In industrial electrical boxes, commercial, and utility installations comprising generators, motors, feeder circuits, and transmission and distribution lines, medium-voltage switchgear provides centralized control and protection of medium-voltage power equipment and circuits.
In this article, we take a detailed look at the most reliable, top 5 medium voltage switchgear manufacturers in the USA.
