Substation switchgear refers to electrical equipment used to control, protect, and isolate electrical circuits in power substations. It includes circuit breakers, disconnectors, fuses, and transformers that ensure safe and reliable operation of the electrical grid. Switchgear helps protect systems from faults like overloads or short circuits by disconnecting affected sections of the network. It also enables routine maintenance and emergency operations without disrupting the entire grid. Advanced switchgear uses technologies such as gas-insulated and vacuum circuit breakers for improved performance and safety.
