About this ebook
Welcome to Switchgear and Protective Relays! This is a nonfiction science book which contains various topics on switchgear and protective relays. Circuits are only intended to handle a certain amount of electricity, and if too much current flows through them, the wiring can overheat. This could harm critical electrical components or perhaps start a fire. Switchgear is used to protect equipment connected to a power supply from electrical overload. A wide range of switching devices that all serve the same purpose of managing, safeguarding, and isolating power systems are collectively referred to as switchgear. Circuit breakers and other comparable technology can be incorporated into this description to include devices that control and measure a power system. An efficient switchgear will automatically stop the flow of power and safeguard the electrical systems in the case of an electrical surge. Switchgears can also be used to safely de-energize machinery for fault-finding, maintenance, and safe testing. Switchgear is typically found in substations on both the high- and low-voltage sides of substantial power transformers. In addition to medium-voltage circuit breakers for distribution circuits, metering, control, and protection equipment may be housed in a building with the switchgear on the low-voltage side of the transformers. A protective relay is a switchgear device that detects a failure and activates the circuit breaker to isolate the faulty component from the rest of the system. This is the first edition of the book. Thanks for reading the book.
