A switch cabinet is an electrical device in which the external wires enter the main control switch inside the cabinet, and then enter the sub control switch. Each branch is set according to its needs. Such as instruments, self-control, motor magnetic switches, various AC contactors, etc. Some also have high voltage and low voltage room switchgear, high voltage busbars, such as power plants, etc. Some also have low cycle load shedding to protect the main equipment.
The main function of a switchgear is to open, close, control, and protect electrical equipment during the process of power generation, transmission, distribution, and energy conversion in the power system. The components inside the switchgear mainly include circuit breakers, isolating switches, load switches, operating mechanisms, transformers, and various protective devices. There are many classification methods for switchgear, such as the installation of circuit breakers, which can be divided into movable switchgear and fixed switchgear; According to the different cabinet structures, it can be divided into open type switchgear, metal enclosed switchgear, and metal enclosed armored switchgear; According to different voltage levels, it can be divided into high-voltage switchgear, medium voltage switchgear, and low-voltage switchgear. Mainly suitable for various occasions such as power plants, substations, petrochemicals, metallurgical steel rolling, light industry textiles, factories and mines, residential areas, high-rise buildings, etc.
