Low Voltage Switchgear Components

Low voltage components for the electrical power distribution.

Low voltage switchgear components.

Generally electrical switchgear rated upto 1kv is termed as low voltage switchgear the term lv switchgear includes low voltage circuit breakers switches off load electrical isolators hrc fuses earth leakage circuit breaker miniature circuit breakers and molded case circuit breakers mccb etc i e. Now let s look into the components of switchgear in detail. In these instances low voltage switchgear is often the optimal solution. Switchgear for low voltage applications is generally rated up to 1000 v ac and 1500v dc.

The switchgear on. High voltage switchgear was invented at the end of the 19th century for operating motors and other electric machines. Low voltage switchgear in some cases more highly functional low voltage distribution equipment is needed to best protect control and monitor critical power electrical distribution systems safely and efficiently. The commonly used low voltage devices include oil circuit breakers.

The technology has been improved over time and can now be used with voltages up to 1 100 kv. All the accessories required to protect the lv system. Typically switchgear in substations are located on both the high and low voltage sides of large power transformers.
