Switchboard Maintenance
Switchboards are assemblies of electrical components, such as fuses, circuit breakers, switches, residual current devices, and meters. Together, these parts allow safe and efficient electricity distribution in required sections of the electric system. If any component malfunctions, this can compromise the overall functionality of a switchboard. Therefore, To ensure switchboards...
Switchgear and Switchboards: Construction, Applications, and Financial Considerations
Switchboards are usually designed with metering devices, overcurrent protection equipment, and other accessories in grouped segments to avoid isolation. Constructing switchboards in individual/isolated sections like switchgears is possible, but such construction is rare. In this article, we will discuss switchboards based on group-mounted devices. Switchboards can be equipped with both...
Switchgear and Switchboards: Definitions and Standards
Switchboards and switchgear are distribution equipment, serve as service entry equipment, and contain overcurrent protection devices. However, they have very important differences that not many are aware of. By the end of this article, an electrical engineer should be able to answer two important questions: “What is the difference between...
