Devices in Switchgear
The switchgear can contain as switching/interrupting device(s): a circuit breaker (c.b.), a switch/fuse
combination, a contactor/fuse combination (for motor switching), for low v oltage (l.v.) assemblies: a switch or
Major components
Low voltage switchgear assemblies
The main components are:
Molded case (MCB) or power (air magnetic) circuit breakers (drawout or fixed) complete with or without
integral overcurrent protection device (thermal magnetic,
Solid state or microprocessor based) with or without zone interlocking provision
Cradle (for drawout versions only)
Fixed potential and control power transformers
Current transformers
Interframe and back barriers
Main bus bars, run backs, bus risers and cable lugs (compression or mechanical)
Protective fuses for breaker control circuits, instrument compartments
Circuit breaker accessories, breaker lifting devices (integral with gear)
Fused or unfused interrupter switches
Protective and monitoring auxiliary relays
Metering devices (ammeters, voltmeters, watthourmeters, wattmeters and digital metering packages
D.M.P.)
Control switches and indicating lights
There are a few distinct types of switchgear cubicles and are listed hereafter:
Incoming (main) cubicles
Transformer feeders
Bus tie (sectionalization)
Generator exciter control
Generator neutral cubicles
Induction motor control cubicle
Synchronous motor switching board
Potential transformer cubicles (used in conjunction with isolated phase bus in generating stations).
Other components that could be seen attached or connected to switchgear lineups either or not to form a unit
substation are: power transformers, low voltage bus duct/medium voltage bus or cable duct runs.
If the transformers are close coupled and installed indoor , then dry type transformers are used. If they are
located outdoor and connected to the switchgear by nonsegregated bus duct or cable duct or by a throat (with o/d
switchgear) than they are of the oil filled type.
Another type of transformers that can be found indoors is the cast resin coil type.
