Switchgear Maintenance Companies and Their Approach to Maintenance
Switchgear protects electrical equipment from high currents that could damage or destroy it. By extension, it also protects buildings and electrical technicians from arc flashes that result from un-extinguished arcs. There are three types of Switchgear: low voltage (less than one thousand volts), medium voltage (1,000-35,000 volts), and high voltage (>35,000 volts). In each case, [...]
