Answer / rabi sahu
as its name stated.It's a switch having gear arrangement to
smoothly operate in high speed on both manual and auto mode,
It's work is to isolate the connected equipment from source
of supply.
measurely it used on power system utilities

switch Gear means its having some switching equipments
like cbs, relays,isolators.
by using all these equipments we can control the voltage or
current
OR
The assembly of apparatus where we can placed and by using
thus we can control the electrical characteristics
these are mainly used at any where like
substations,transmission etc

Answer / arslan dar
The term switchgear is used in association with the electric power system, or grid, substations and refers to the combination of electrical disconnects, fuses and/or circuit breakers used to isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is used both to de-energize equipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults downstream.

When we use air circuit breaker, it has O/L protection ,time delay SC protection, Instataneous SC protection & ground fault protection. They all have some setting range. But what is the suitable/allowable setting for the above protection which will be safe for the equipment? For example-O/L protection setting have a range of (0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0)xIn Time delay SC protection have a range of (1.25,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,10,12)xIn Time delay setting is 0.02,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 Instataneous setting is fixed to 20xIn Gound fault setting is given 100A,300A,600A,900A,1200A This setting are for 2500A ACB. So what will be the basic allowable setting for the above protection? is there any formulae to calculate this<
