Lowvoltage switchgear, designed to distribute threephase power, is a critical part of an electrical power system. Erik Hurd, Senior Power System Experience Center (PSEC) Engineer, teaches us the important aspects of lowvoltage switchgear such as:

What is lowvoltage switchgear?
Lowvoltage switchgear components
Design options for lowvoltage switchgear (UL 1558)
Main features of LVA
Standards and ratings
Safety technologies

Collectively, these aspects improve safety and enhance connectivity of modern lowvoltage switchgear, and in turn increase the reliability of power systems.
