Build Safer, Smarter Power Systems
From compact LV units to rugged MV switchgear, our product range empowers you to build robust electrical systems with confidence and compliance. Whether you’re managing a high-rise tower, an industrial plant, or a utility-scale substation, our switchgear delivers the performance, safety, and scalability today’s infrastructure demands.
Engineered for High-Performance Medium Voltage Power Distribution
The KYN28-24KV withdrawable metal-clad switchgear is a robust and smartly designed medium-voltage distribution cabinet that offers enhanced safety, system flexibility, and easy maintenance in power networks up to 24kV. Designed to meet IEC 62271-200 and GB3906 standards, it's ideal for industrial facilities, substations, commercial buildings, and renewable energy plants.
Electrical switchgear refers to a centralized assembly of electrical devices such as circuit breakers, disconnect switches, relays, and fuses used to control, protect, and isolate electrical equipment. It is essential for regulating power distribution and ensuring system reliability and personnel safety.
Switchgear is typically classified as:
Low Voltage (LV): Up to 1,000V
Medium Voltage (MV): 1kV – 36kV
High Voltage (HV): Above 36kV (less common in industrial switchgear collections)
According to IEEE Standards (C37 series), switchgear is fundamental in ensuring fast fault clearing, voltage regulation, and uninterrupted power delivery in both grid and facility-level systems.
Our switchgear solutions are engineered with advanced safety and control technologies to meet the highest international standards:
✅ Enhanced Safety: Arc-resistant construction and intelligent protection relays ensure system and personnel safety.
✅ Flexible & Modular Design: Easily scalable for future expansion or layout modification.
✅ High Fault Interruption Capability: Prevents cascading failures by isolating faults quickly.
✅ Compact & Efficient: Space-saving configurations for modern electrical rooms.
✅ Smart Grid Compatibility: Available with IoT-ready modules for real-time diagnostics, energy monitoring, and remote operation.
Major industry leaders such as ABB and Schneider Electric have highlighted the increasing demand for smart switchgear in urban and industrial energy systems.

While both manage electricity, switchgear is far more advanced than basic circuit breaker panels:
Feature | Switchgear | Panelboards / CB Boxes |
---|---|---|
Voltage Range | Up to 36kV (MV/LV) | Typically <600V |
Fault Handling | High short-circuit interruption | Limited fault protection |
Isolation Capability | Full isolation for maintenance | Partial or none |
Modularity | Customizable, expandable | Fixed layout |
Use Case | Industrial, utility, critical systems | Residential, light commercial |
According to the IEEMA, the global switchgear market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 6–7% due to increased infrastructure development and the rise of renewable energy.
When selecting switchgear, consider the following:
Voltage Requirement: Determine your system voltage (LV or MV).
Short-Circuit Rating: Ensure it meets your fault current interruption needs.
Installation Environment: Choose indoor or outdoor enclosures accordingly.
Operational Frequency: High-use systems benefit from withdrawable units.
Smart Monitoring: For predictive maintenance and energy tracking, consider intelligent switchgear.
Tip: If you're unsure, consult IEC 62271 or IEEE C37 guidelines, or speak with a professional engineer to determine the right configuration.

Metal-clad switchgear offers compartmentalized sections for each component, enhancing safety and serviceability. Metal-enclosed switchgear has shared compartments and is more cost-effective but less isolated.
For most applications, annual maintenance is recommended. In mission-critical systems, quarterly thermal imaging, insulation resistance testing, and relay checks are advisable.
Yes. Many traditional switchgear units can be retrofitted with IoT modules, energy meters, or remote monitoring systems for real-time diagnostics.
Choosing the right switchgear is essential for system stability, operator safety, and equipment longevity.
