Busways, Panelboards & Switchgears
Electrical distribution systems rely on several essential components that include busways, panelboards, and switchgears. These elements provide safe and efficient electrical power management in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. The conductors of a busway are insulated and housed in a protective enclosure. The construction is inherently safe and can be used in environments where a high density of electrical power is carried. The flexible, modular system can distribute direct current (DC) as well as alternating current (AC), across a wide range of voltages, in any configuration needed.
A facility's electrical power is routed through its panelboards. These are the dynamic and centralized distribution centers of a building's power, but they also perform crucial protective and functional functions. They are well organized, they have a good schematic diagram on the front door, and they use protective devices like circuit breakers and fuses.
In contrast, switchgears handle controlling, protecting, and isolating electrical devices within a power system. They ensure the safe operation of high-voltage equipment like generators and transformers and maintain the overall stability of a power system. A switchgear usually contains a variety of devices that serve to control, protect, and isolate high-voltage equipment and make it safe for the operator to perform maintenance without fear of electric shock. The use of a switchgear is essential for ensuring the reliable operation and power distribution of a stable power plant, especially for high-demand equipment like generators.
