Market Definition
Switchgear devices function akin to switches, managing the flow of normal load current. They also play a critical role in clearing fault currents. Sensing devices like current transformers, potential transformers, and various types of relays are employed based on the application to detect and respond to faults. Additionally, these systems incorporate provisions for metering, control, and data gathering, employing a diverse array of devices to fulfil their switching functions.
These systems directly interface with supply systems, strategically positioned in both high- and low-voltage sides of power transformers. Their primary functions encompass de-energizing equipment for testing and maintenance, as well as responding to faults in the power system. In the event of a fault, switchgear devices, particularly automatic protective ones, come into play. This involves relays and circuit breakers; the relay identifies the faulty section and activates the circuit to trip the breaker, isolating the defective segment. The unaffected sections continue normal operation, preventing damage and ensuring uninterrupted power supply.
The market encompasses a wide range of stakeholders, from component manufacturers and product assemblers to service providers and end-users and is influenced by factors such as development of power distribution infrastructure, rapid growth in renewable energy-based capacity, likewise.
