Answer / shaji samuel

I mean about the switch gears is the breaker mediater of
circuite flows to two points.

Answer / sunil guru

in switch gear not all provisions but few are provided as a switch yard like.....
switching ,protections and power factor improvement with circuit breakers,relays,mccb's, contactors,capacitors and fuse units
as switch gear system is panel based system so has some limitations and other than that mainly used for meter displays purpose like V,I,p.f,kwh,frequency etc....

for any disagreement pl contact me on parmar20072008@yahoo.com

Answer / banda saivarun

switch gair is used for switching operation like if any faults occurs the related equipment may damage to avoid that here we are using switching components like MCCB,FUSES,CIRCUITBREKERS,RCCB etc so with out switching devices there is no electrical system

Answer / swathi

swithgear is a device by which we can reduce the fault
occurences in our equipment.

Answer / sreelal

7 Answers   ONGC,

we have one pumping station and 4.6 MW 7 no.s synchronous motors.so there is no required HT capacitor to improve power factor.But we have two no.s of 25 Mva power transformer connect to distribute the power for motors connect with 220 kv line.So i have required the HT capacitor to improve power factor at HT side i mean power transformer bus side.So please suggest how much HT capacitor banks required for same.
