Switchgear design is crucial for ensuring the protection, control, and efficient operation of electrical systems. Proper design helps in minimizing the risk of electrical faults, improving system reliability, and ensuring safety for both equipment and personnel.

Key Components in Switchgear Design:

• Circuit Breakers: Devices that automatically interrupt electrical circuits in case of faults to prevent damage.
• Switches: Manual or automatic devices used to open or close electrical circuits.
• Fuses: Protective devices that melt and disconnect the circuit when excessive current flows.
• Busbars: Conductors that distribute electrical power within the switchgear assembly.
• Relays: Devices that detect faults and trigger circuit breakers or other protective measures.
