A switchgear system that is capable of handling between 3kv and 36kv

A switchgear system that is capable of handling between 3kv and 36kv is referred to as medium voltage switchgear. These come in many types, such as metal-enclosed outdoor type, metal-enclosed indoor type, as well as an outdoor type without metal enclosure, among others.
The mode of interruption of this switchgear can be S.F., oil, and vacuum with the main requirement of the medium power network being interrupting current whenever there is a fault condition regardless of the type of C.B. that is used by the MV switchgear system.
The Functions of MV Switchgear
Medium voltage switchgear should be able to perform the following functions:
• Short circuit current interruption
• Switching capacitive currents
• Switching the inductive currents
• Performing normal ON/OFF switching
• Other special applications
Ultimately, all the functions mentioned must be undertaken with a high degree of reliability and safety.

electric power system, a switchgear is composed of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is used both to de-energize equipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults downstream.

Transformers step up or down the voltage level to facilitate the transmission and distribution of electricity. Switchgear provides protection of electrical circuits and a means of disconnection. UPSs protect equipment during voltage fluctuations and outages by providing backup and conditioned power.
