One of the basic functions of switchgear is protection, which is interruption of short-circuit and overload fault currents while maintaining service to unaffected circuits. Switchgear also provides isolation of circuits from power supplies. Switchgear is also used to enhance system availability by allowing more than one source to feed a load
This protective equipments is used for Low voltage & medium voltage system, its usually used for 11kV system, Load break switch (LBS) mechanism is available for 630A, and over current protection scheme is done through HRC fuse, The panel includes 3 Numbers of CT (Current transformer) and 3 Numbers of PT (Potential transformer) for measuring system current and voltage, The HRC fuse protect overload or any short circuit, The panel also include 3 numbers of Ampere meter & one voltmeter with selector switch for monitoring different
The Construction is of metal clad type and uses high grade steel of adequate thickness ensuring safety and security, the panel size is 900 mm x 1000 mm x 1800 mm and weight almost 450kGs
