2. Introduction to Switchgear
In an electric power system, switchgear is the combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit
breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment.
Switchgears are essential for maintaining reliability in the electricity supply by managing fault currents and
isolating equipment.
