Medium Voltage Switchgear

The term medium voltage is commonly used for distribution systems with voltages above 1 kV and generally applied up to and including 52 kV. For technical and economic reasons, the service voltage of medium voltage distribution networks rarely exceeds 36 kV. The connection of an electrical installation to a MV utility distribution network is always realised by means of a dedicated MV substation usually termed the main substation. Depending on its size and specific criteria, the installation may include additional or secondary substations. The locations of these substations are carefully selected in order to optimise the budget dedicated to MV and LV power cables. 

Electrical switchgear protects, isolates, and regulates a power system using various controls boxed in a metal enclosure. Switchgear is essential in industries that regularly need to de-energize their equipment for maintenance or experience frequent electrical faults. Some of the key components of switchgear are switches, fuses, and power conductors.

How does an Electrical Switchgear Work?

When it comes to the working principle of electrical switchgear, it is imperative to remember that it is a collection of electrical circuit protection devices like switches, fuses, and circuit breakers that are collectively mounted in a metallic enclosure. Therefore, in order to deliver optimum results, they evenly distribute power to multiple sections of a facility and all the loads in those specific sections. At Schneider electric UK, we offer several types of switchgears like secondary gas insulated switchgear, primary air insulated switchgear, shielded solid insulated switchgear, and more.

Why choose Schneider Electric switchgears?

At Schneider Electric UK, we have built a team of experts who have diligently designed an expansive range of switchgear to meet your electric needs and requirements. Some of the many varieties that we offer are secondary gas-insulated switchgear, primary air-insulated switchgear, shielded solid insulated switchgear, and more. Keeping customer satisfaction at the forefront, we have ensured that our switchgear is affordable, durable, and easy to install.
