Global Switchgear Market 2015-2019 : A switchgear is defined as a combination of the following components:
current and protection against current overload, short circuit, and
insulation failure. It provides safe isolation from current-driven parts
and modifies a load-carrying system at each level of installation.
Switchgears are divided into three types based on load-bearing
capacity: low-voltage switchgears, medium-voltage switchgears, and
high-voltage switchgears. Switchgears are used across sectors such as
power utility, industrial, residential, and commercial.
Low-voltage and medium-voltage switchgears are used in industries
such as oil and gas, pulp and paper, as well as in residential premises
apart from power utilities. High-voltage switchgears are mainly used in
power utilities. High-voltage switchgears are classified as
air-insulated switchgear, gas-insulated switchgear, oil-insulated
switchgear, and vacuum-insulated switchgears.

- Circuit breakers
- Protective relays
