Essential Components of Power Distribution Systems for Industrial and Oil & Gas Applications
Switchgear is a crucial component of industrial and oil & gas power distribution systems, providing protection, regulation, and control of electrical power. We offer a wide range of switchgear options designed to meet the specific needs of our customers.
Switchgear Basics
Switchgear is an electrical equipment collection that is used to manage the distribution of electrical power in industrial and industrial application. It allows for the switching and protection of electrical circuits, ensuring safe and reliable power distribution. There are two main types of switchgear: low voltage and high voltage. Low voltage switchgear is used for systems operating up to 1,000 volts, while high voltage switchgear is used for systems operating at higher voltages, typically above 35,000 volts.
We offer a variety of switchgear components, including:
- Disconnect Switches: These switches isolate electrical circuits for maintenance or repair.
- Fuses or Circuit Breakers: These devices protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits.
- Protective Relays: These devices monitor electrical conditions and activate circuit breakers or other protection devices if a fault is detected.
- Control Panels: These panels allow operators to monitor and control electrical circuits.
- Transformers: These devices are used to step up or step down electrical voltage levels.
Switchgear Options
We offers customizable switchgear options to meet the specific needs of industrial and oil & gas applications. These options may include:
- PLC Control: Critical Compression’s switchgear options can be equipped with programmable logic controllers for more efficient and automated power distribution.
- Disconnects: Our switchgear can be designed with disconnect switches to isolate electrical circuits for maintenance or repair.
- Control Power Transformers: Critical Compression’s switchgear can be equipped with control power transformers to step down the voltage to safer levels for control circuits.
- Other Components: We offer a wide range of other switchgear components, such as indicator lights, surge protection, and lightning reactors to protect against electrical disturbances.
