what are cable accessories？
Cable accessories are various components and devices used in the installation, maintenance, and protection of electrical cables. These accessories are essential to ensure the efficient and reliable functioning of power cables and to safeguard them from environmental factors and mechanical damage. Here are some common types of cable accessories: Cable Terminations: Cable terminations are used […]
What are mv switching devices？
Medium Voltage (MV) switching devices are electrical components and equipment designed to control, protect, and manage the flow of electrical power in medium voltage electrical systems. Medium voltage typically refers to voltage levels ranging from 1 kV (kilovolt) to 36 kV, although the specific voltage range may vary depending on regional standards and applications. MV […]
What is grounding switch / earthing switch? A detailed introductory note
Every electrical power distribution system relies on protective devices to ensure the safety of equipment and prevent potential hazards such as fires or user injuries. Among these protective devices are earthing switches, vital components within switchgear systems that play a crucial role in safeguarding electrical equipment. What is an Earthing Switch? An earthing switch, also […]
Design and Installation of Medium Voltage Switchgear (Facts You MUST Know)
By Edvard Specifying MV Switchgear When specifying and planning medium voltage switchgear for a substation, functions and influencing factors must be matched and an economically efficient solution must be found among the offerings of manufacturers. For this there is no simple recipe with an unambiguous solution for engineers, simply because: 1.The tasks of a switchgear […]
How to select and set circuit breaker（low voltage）
Classification of circuit breakers – Frame Circuit Breakers (ACB) Frame circuit breaker is also known as universal circuit breaker, all its parts are installed in an insulated metal frame, often open type, can be equipped with a variety of accessories, replacement of contacts and parts is more convenient, mostly used in the power end of […]

Answer: the formation of the field around the charged body, can transfer the interaction between the charged body. 3. What is meant by electric charge? A: The positive or negative […]
Switchgear is too complicated to look at the headache? Five minutes to take you to understand the switchgear!
Switchgear refers to a certain programme of primary equipment, secondary equipment assembled into a complete set of power distribution equipment, mainly used for lines, equipment control, protection. Switchgear can be divided into high-voltage switchgear (fixed and trolley) and low-voltage switchgear (fixed and drawer) according to the voltage level of the inlet and outlet lines. The […]
Medium voltage switchgear testing principles (mechanical tests)
Medium voltage switchgear mechanical tests As an integral step in site acceptance tests, mechanical tests are usually done with the functional tests to test proper signalling and interlocks and save time. In mechanical tests, the commissioning engineer performs mechanical switching of the switching devices, charges the circuit-breaker spring manually with the crank, withdraws the switching […]
Common problems in medium voltage switchgear
Electrical switchgear: how it’s got its name? Many years ago power stations used simple disconnectors, open knife switches, to isolate or de-energize equipment. With the continuous increase in power levels, it became no longer safe to open such disconnectors manually and geared switches were a need which is then combined to be “Switchgear”. Switches didn’t […]
