A switchgear is a combination of several electrical switching devices. The primary function of these devices is to switch, monitor, control, isolate, and offer protection to electrical circuits and related equipment. A variety of industrial products or equipment are integrated within the switchgear. They include switches, circuit breakers, contactors, fuses with switch units, and HRC fuses. All these devices or equipment are connected in a logical manner which ultimately creates switchgear. Switchgear has several applications in the industrial sector. It can be utilized to nullify downstream flaws, disconnect equipment from power supply, and ensure the completion of several industrial processes. Switchgear is directly related to the supply of power.

 Like already mentioned, switchgear composes of several devices. Fuses, switches, circuit breakers, isolators, control panels, current and potential transformers, and relays are a few of such devices. Each device or equipment is designed to meet different purposes. For example, some devices are designed to enhance the efficiency of the switchgear in abnormal and normal environments. Some devices are designed to perform switching functions. Such devices do not possess the ability to sense faults. Switchgear is also responsible for the functioning of other equipment like switching generators, distributors, transmission lines, and other electrical equipment.

There are different types of switchgear, and one of them is MV Switchgear. MV stands for Medium Voltage Switchgear. This type of switchgear can facilitate electrical distribution, monitor and offer protection for switchgear ratings between 1kV and 75kV. As this is a medium-range voltage, the switchgear is called medium voltage switchgear. This voltage range consists of some common voltage ratings like 5 kV, 12 kV, 15 kV, 35 kV, and that’s what makes this switchgear a popular choice. Medium voltage switchgear panels and their associated components have a wide range of applications in both the commercial and industrial sectors. MV switchgear panels employ vacuum circuit breakers for circuit protection.

Medium voltage switchgear is of different types. One of them is the air-insulated switchgear. This has become a popular choice for many industrial facilities, and there are valid reasons for that. Air-insulated switchgear provides the highest degrees of safety and cost-effective solutions. This type of switchgear does not utilize gas insulation. Hence, air-insulated switchgear effectively provides a protective space for an industrial facility and is a boon to the environment as well. Medium voltage switchgear comes with a NEMA enclosure and can be used for both indoor and outdoor purposes, and offers sturdy resistance against weather, dust, and corrosion.

Choose An Ideal Switchgear For Your Industrial Facility

You must make a note of some functions by medium voltage switchgear. It will help you to purchase an ideal one for your facility. Following are a few functions of an MV switchgear:

• Switching of capacitive currents
• Interruption of short circuit currents
• Switching of inductive currents
• Enabling normal ON and OFF switching

Consider this. Switchgear is meant to handle the consequences in the event of failure or faulty functioning in any part of the power distribution system. A short circuit, heavy current flow through the equipment, may pose a potential threat to the equipment and the personnel. It will also obstruct service and production. In such instances, the switchgear will promptly detect the fault and thereafter will disconnect the faulty section from the rest of the system.

An MV switchgear that performs all these functions with safety and reliability intact, is the perfect switchgear for you. Spike Electric will help you to purchase the best switchgear for your industrial facility. We have curated some key features that will help you understand the importance of possessing an MV switchgear. Read on.

• Reliability– The Integration of a Switchgear will enhance reliability. Hence, in an instance of a faulty power system, the switchgear will begin working on separating the faulty section from the rest of the circuit.
• Quick Response– Switchgear takes action promptly. For example, when they are some errors in any section of the power system, the switchgear will start its operation quickly and hence will be able to prevent undue damage by short-circuit currents to equipment like transformers and generators. Slow response to a faulty system can endanger the whole unit, and switchgear will prevent that from happening.
• Enabling manual control – When electrical controls fail, manual control will help. An MV switchgear enables manual control, thereby reducing the risk for heavy potential damage.
