Switchgear is a broad term in the electrical industry that is often used interchangeably with switchboards, but they are distinct components. Switchgear plays a crucial role in electrical power systems by controlling, isolating, and safeguarding electrical equipment from damage. Its design aims to optimize functionality, safety, and maintenance efficiency in power distribution systems, incorporating carefully engineered structures that house vital electrical components like circuit breakers, busbars, control equipment, and protective devices.
At J&P Electrical, we focus on providing both low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) switchgear, each suited to different applications and requirements.
- Low Voltage (LV) Switchgear: Ideal for commercial, industrial, and residential settings, LV switchgear manages systems that handle up to 1,000 volts (1kV). It ensures reliable control, protection, and distribution of electrical power in a variety of environments.
- Medium Voltage (MV) Switchgear: Designed for systems ranging from 1kV to 38kV, MV switchgear is typically used in larger installations such as utilities, manufacturing plants, and large commercial buildings. It supports systems like generators, motors, feeder circuits, and transmission/distribution lines.
