All facts to know about LV switchgear for better safety From the 1930s, the bus duct systems came to replace the conventional cable distribution for better resistance to short circuits and efficient energy distribution. Though it was slow in use in many other countries, now it has a global market size of billions of dollars growing at a CAGR of 5.8 %. Hence there is a rise in the need for excellent sandwich bus duct system suppliers to provide safe, reliable, flexible, and persuasive power distribution solutions worldwide. Importance of LV switchgear suppliers LV switchgear is for voltages below 1000 but still need effective circuit breakers to avoid any harm due to short circuits. The global LV switchgear installations were more than 30 million units in 2018, and the market size to cross 80 billion USD by 2025. In India, the market estimates are around Rs. 11,000 crores. The proportion of the LV switchgear market size is more than 10 % of the entire electrical industry. It caters to many sectors like manufacturing, construction, agriculture, utilities, OEMs, and others. Only the be able to provide many of its products that include ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Significant parts of LV switchgear Only the best LV switchgear suppliers will provide it with three major segregated parts that include 1. Breaker compartment that typically has up to four power circuit breakers that are individually compartmentalized 2. The bus compartment is behind the breaker compartment, which is also compartmentalized from it by solid barriers. 3. The third is the cable compartment at the rear of the LV switchgear, which is only optionally compartmentalized with vented or unvented barriers from the bus compartment. It has hinged removable covers or hinged doors to enable landing lugs for terminating load and line cables. It also enables access from the switchgear's backside, and any variation will lead to it becoming similar to switchboards with back to the wall. Tricolite has been the leading LV switchgear supplier for many decades, along with being the best sandwich bus duct system suppliers.
