What is Switchgear?

 Switchgear is a general term covering

a wide range of equipment concerned
with switching and protection
 So Switchgear family consists of all
protection devices like relays and
switching devices like Circuit breaker,
Isolator, earth switches etc.
What is Circuit Breaker?
 Circuit Breaker is a device designed to make or break circuit
under normal as well as faulty conditions.
 What is the difference between circuit breaker and switch?
 What is Arc?
SF6 Circuit Breaker
Protection System
 To Protect persons and equipment in the
surrounding of the power system
 To Protect apparatus in the power system
from fault
 Separate faulty parts from the rest of the
power system to facilitate the operation
of the healthy part of the system
Components of Protective System
 Current and voltage
transformers
 Relay
 Circuit breaker
 Communication system
Fault…
 What is Fault
 Anything abnormal condition from design parameters
 Type of Fault
 Symmetrical fault
 Three phase fault (L-L-L)
 Three phase to earth fault (L-L-L-G)
 Asymmetrical Fault
 Shunt type faults
 Single line to ground Fault (L – G)
 Double line to Ground Fault (L – L – G)
 Line to Line Fault (L – L)
 Series type faults
 Single Phase open circuit fault
 Cross Country Fault
