Transformer
A transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. It is used to change the voltage levels in alternating current (AC) electrical systems, enabling efficient transmission and distribution of electrical power over long distances. Transformers are fundamental components in power systems, electrical distribution networks, and many other applications.

Functions of Switch Gears

  1. Control: Switch gears enable the control of electrical circuits by allowing operators to switch electrical devices on or off. They facilitate the distribution of power to different parts of a system and can be used to connect or disconnect various components.

  2. Protection: Switch gears provide protection against electrical faults such as short circuits, overloads, and ground faults. They include protective devices like circuit breakers and fuses that isolate faulty sections of a system to prevent damage and maintain system reliability.

  3. Isolation: Switch gears allow for the safe isolation of electrical equipment for maintenance or repair. By disconnecting sections of the system, switch gears ensure that maintenance work can be performed safely without affecting other parts of the system.

  4. Switching: Switch gears facilitate the switching of electrical power between different circuits or sources. This allows for load management, system reconfiguration, and redundancy in power supply.
