Low Voltage Switchgear Components

Generally electrical switchgear rated upto 1kv is termed as low voltage switchgear the term lv switchgear includes low voltage circuit breakers switches off load electrical isolators hrc fuses earth leakage circuit breaker miniature circuit breakers and molded case circuit breakers mccb etc i e.
Low voltage switchgear components. Now let s look into the components of switchgear in detail. Low voltage switchgear lv the power system which deals up to 1kv is called as lv or low voltage switchgear. The commonly used low voltage devices include oil circuit breakers. Low voltage components for the electrical power distribution.
This kind of equipment mainly includes switches lv circuit breakers hrc fuses earth leakage el circuit breakers offload electrical isolators mcbs miniature circuit breakers and mccbs molded case circuit breakers etc. Typically switchgear in substations are located on both the high and low voltage sides of large power transformers. The technology has been improved over time and can now be used with voltages up to 1 100 kv. Switchgear for low voltage applications is generally rated up to 1000 v ac and 1500v dc.
In these instances low voltage switchgear is often the optimal solution. All the accessories required to protect the lv system. Siemens offers a comprehensive portfolio for a safe electrical installation from the switchgear to the socket.
