Switchgear cater to different electrical system requirements. Low voltage (up to 1kV), medium voltage (1kV to 33kV), and high voltage (above 33kV).
SF6 (Sulfur Hexafluoride) Switchgear:
Used in high voltage applications for its excellent insulating and arc-quenching properties. However, due to environmental concerns regarding SF6's high global warming potential, alternatives like vacuum and air-insulated switchgear are gaining popularity.
Intelligent Switchgear:
Modern switchgear incorporates digital controls, sensors, and communication capabilities, enabling remote monitoring, control, and diagnostics. This enhances system efficiency, reliability, and safety.
