Switchgear plays a fundamental role within the power supply industry. It is required to isolate faulty equipment, divide large networks into sections for repair purposes and reconfigure networks in order to restore power supplies and control other equipment.An invaluable reference source for practising engineers and power engineering students, Distribution Switchgear covers the general principles of the switchgear function, discussing topics such as interruption techniques, fault switchgear function, discussing topics such as interruption techniques, fault level calculations, switching transients and electrical insulation. Solutions to practical problems associated with distribution switchgear are also included.
