suddenly change what you are doing esp. the way you think about a particular
activity: First they threatened us, then they switched gears and started acting
nice. NITDP
What is switchgear and its types?
Switchgear is an integral part of an electric power system. Switchgear includes fuses, switches, relays, isolators, circuit breaker, potential and current transformer, indicating device, lightning arresters, etc. Let us find out more about switchgear by understanding how it works and what are its different types.

What is the function of switch gear?
What is switchgear?
Electrical switchgear refers to a centralized collection of circuit breakers,
fuses and switches (circuit protection devices) that function to
protect, control and isolate electrical equipment.
What are the types of switch gear?
There are three
types of switch gears namely LV (Low voltage), MV (Medium voltage) and
HV (High voltage) Switchgear.
What is switch gear and protection?
In an electric
power system, switchgear is composed of electrical disconnect switches,
fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical
equipment. This type of equipment is directly linked to the reliability
of the electricity supply.
What are the types of switch?
Types of Electrical
Switches and Their Importance
- ONE-WAY (SINGLE-POLE) ELECTRICAL SWITCH. A one-way or single-pole electrical switch is the most common one in use.
- TWO-WAY (DOUBLE-POLE) ELECTRICAL SWITCH.
- DO NOT DISTURB SWITCH.
- LIGHT DIMMER / STEPLESS REGULATOR.
- BELL PUSH SWITCH.
What are the main components of switchgear?
Components of
Switchgear
Switchgear essentially consists of switching and protecting devices
such as switches, fuses, isolators, circuit breakers, protective relays,
control panels, lightning arrestors, current transformers, potential
transformers, auto reclosures, and various associated equipment.
What is switchgear fuse?
Switchgear
interrupting devices
Fuse is a device that interrupts excessive current flow. The
current is interrupted by the melting of an electrical wire or strip designed
to melt at a prescribed time/temperature rating.
What is DC
switchgear?
DC Gear can easily
be combined with other medium-voltage AC switchgear and transformer-rectifier
groups, representing the main equipment in DC traction substations. Switchgear combines electrical switches, fuses or circuit breakers to
control, protect and isolate electrical equipment in a power network.12
What is difference between switchgear and circuit breaker?
Switchgear contains
fuses, switches, and other power conductors. However, circuit breakers are the
most common component found in switchgear. During an electrical fault, a
circuit breaker will sense the anomaly and interrupt the power flow,
effectively limiting damage to the system.
What are the main four functions of switches?
A Switch primarily
has four functions: Learning, Flooding, Forwarding, and Filtering:
- Learning. Being a Layer 2
device, a Switch will make all its decisions based upon information found
in the L2 Header.
- Flooding.
- Forwarding.
- Filtering.
- Broadcasts.
What is the
difference between a switchboard and switchgear?
The main difference
between switchgear and a switchboard lies with the voltage each is
designed to handle. Switchgears are designed for high voltages (up to 350
kV) whereas switchboards are designed for voltages below 600V.
