The term “switchgear” is derived from the fact that it comprises devices that enable switching and disconnection of electrical power to other circuits or loads. There are different types of switchgear, each designed to handle a specific voltage. These include low voltage (LV), medium voltage (MV), and high voltage (HV). There are many benefits to installing switchgear in a power system. These include boosting reliability, improving dependability, and enhancing interconnection. The most important of these is the ability to isolate faulty areas from healthy sections in the power system when a problem occurs.
Market Dynamics:
The escalating demand for small-sized substations that require less space is expected to drive growth of the global switchgear market during the forecast period. The growing need for renewable energy, rising standards to control carbon emissions, and increasing awareness of consumers towards renewable energy generation are also likely to boost the market growth.
However, high cost and functional disadvantages of this equipment is anticipated to restraint growth of the global switchgear market over the forecast period.
