Abstract

High-voltage switchgear is primarily used for receiving, distributing, and controlling electrical energy on the medium-voltage side, while low-voltage switchgear is typically employed for power distribution, control, and energy allocation on the low-voltage side. The two differ in voltage level, equipment configuration, protection schemes, and safety‑operation requirements, and must be selected and configured in accordance with the design of the power supply and distribution system.
