What is the relationship between a substation and switchgear?

2025-08-11
Answer: A substation is a facility that contains various electrical equipment, including transformers, circuit breakers, and busbars. It's a key part of the power grid used to step voltage up or down for transmission and distribution. Switchgear, on the other hand, is a specific collection of equipment—such as circuit breakers, switches, and fuses—that is housed within a substation. The purpose of switchgear is to control, protect, and isolate the electrical equipment within the substation, ensuring the safe and reliable flow of power. In short, switchgear is a fundamental component within a substation. Our company provides the specialized tools and accessories needed for the installation, maintenance, and repair of both the overarching substation facility and its critical switchgear components.
