Three Types of Switchgear
Understanding the classification of switchgear based on voltage levels
Low Voltage Switchgear
Voltage Range: Up to 1,000V AC or 1,500V DC
Low voltage switchgear is designed for electrical systems operating at relatively low voltage levels. This type is commonly used in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.
- Distribution panels in buildings
- Motor control centers
- Lighting control systems
- Small industrial equipment protection
Medium Voltage Switchgear
