Explain about parts of switchgears ?

Question

Accepted Answer

Switchgears consist of various components like circuit breakers, fuses, relays, etc. used to control, protect, and isolate electrical equipment.

Circuit breakers: Used to interrupt the flow of electricity in case of a fault.
Fuses: Protect electrical circuits by breaking the circuit when there is an overload.
Relays: Control the flow of electricity based on signals from sensors or switches.
Disconnect switches: Used to isolate electrical equipment for maintenance or repair.
Busbars: Conductors that connect different components of the switchgear.
Earthing switches: Ensure the switchgear is safely grounded to prevent electric shocks.
Control panels: Allow operators to monitor and control the switchgear.
Indicators: Provide visual or audible signals about the status of the switchgear.
