A switchgear is a type of electrical equipment connected to electric supply systems which protect the circuit by interrupting currents under abnormal operating conditions. The main purpose of switchgear components is to de-energize electric setup for regular maintenance and repair work. Fuses and relays are the most common switchgear components. In case of a short circuit, it limits the current flow to safe levels and prevents excessive damage to the equipment. Moreover, switchgears can assist in altering between inoperative and operative parts to ensure an uninterrupted power supply.

1. Circuit Breakers: Automatically disconnect circuits during faults, safeguarding electrical systems.
2. Switches:Enable safe control and isolation of electrical circuits, ensuring smooth operation and easy maintenance.
3. Fuses: Break circuits by melting under excess current, protecting devices from overheating or potential fire risks.
4. Relays: Break circuits by melting under excess current, protecting devices from overheating or potential fire risks.
