Match the switchgear to the distribution role
Power distribution switchgear may connect utility sources, transformers, generators, buses, feeders, or large loads. The application determines the switching, protection, isolation, metering, and control interfaces.
Planning inputs
| Input | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Source and transformer schedule | Establishes incoming equipment and ratings |
| Load and feeder schedule | Defines bus, devices, cable, and space |
| Normal and emergency modes | Clarifies transfer, tie, and maintenance states |
| Fault and coordination study | Sets interruption, withstand, and selectivity boundaries |
| Metering and communications | Defines measurements, alarms, and remote control |
| Environment and access | Influences enclosure, cooling, cable entry, and service |
