Air-Insulated Switchgear Components: Bus, Switching, Protection, and Interfaces

Appareils de commutation sous enveloppe métallique ou sous gaine métallique

Define the assembly functions

Air-insulated switchgear uses air as the primary insulation medium around defined switching, bus, protection, measurement, earthing, and cable interfaces. The component arrangement depends on voltage, fault duty, feeder role, and the project operating philosophy.

Component groups

GroupPlanning role
Busbars and compartmentsDistribute power and define access boundaries
Breakers or switchesSwitch or interrupt the defined circuit duty
CTs, VTs, and relaysMeasure conditions and support protection
Earthing and interlocksControl safe operating states
Terminations and surge protectionConnect the external network and manage interfaces
Control power and indicationsSupport local, remote, and maintenance functions

Scope boundary

Request the single-line diagram, voltage, current, fault duty, cable data, protection functions, environment, and drawings. This guide does not select a device or certify an AIS assembly.
