What is the duty of a switchboard? Switchgear?

 

[🤖]

A switchboard is a device used to distribute electricity from a power source to different circuits in a building or facility. It is essentially a panel that contains switches, fuses, circuit breakers, and other control and monitoring devices that allow for the safe and efficient distribution of power. The switchboard is responsible for managing the flow of electricity, protecting against overload or short circuits, and isolating faulty circuits to prevent damage to the system.

Switchgear, on the other hand, is a term used to describe a collection of devices used to control, protect, and isolate electrical equipment in a power system. This can include circuit breakers, fuses, relays, switches, and other components that work together to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the power system. Switchgear is typically used in medium and high voltage systems and may be found in power plants, substations, and other large electrical installations. The primary duty of switchgear is to protect the power system from faults and to ensure proper operation of the system during normal and abnormal conditions.
