Metal clad switchgear is referred to as medium voltage switchgear. In this switchgear equipment, the circuit breakers are closed in sheet-steel enclosures. Metal clad is two or more different metals or alloys bonded together to achieve functional benefits. These two different metals or alloys has different properties. Metal-clad switchgear offers basic load protection.

Metal-clad switchgear is widely used in the transmission of electricity and works as per the instructions of the installed relay. Installed relay provides specified custom level. Moreover, relays generally have minimal ANSI properties for basic applications, such as under-voltage, overcurrent, and circuit breaker tripping.

Metal-clad Switchgear Market Dynamics

The market is majorly driven by factors such as enhanced safety as well as ease of maintenance associated with metal-clad switchgears. However, maintenance requirements vary from client to client based on its application and usage. Some frameworks need reduced equipment switching.

The primary objective a of metal-clad switchgear is to operate as a disconnect that consistently functions in the ‘on’ position except for an annual shutdown. Other applications demand that the system moves more frequently from 'open to close' or on to off' mode. Customers prefer equipment that can handle the continuous usage of to operate the loads that are fed for regular switching applications.

By Type

5kV Metal-clad Switchgear: These metal-clad switchgears operate through voltage range of 5 kV. These switchgears consist of breakers, a cell, and auxiliary equipment. 5 kV metal-clad switchgear are used in new constructions and installation of air brake devices. This type of switchgears is used in generator and control applications.

15kV Metal-clad Switchgear: 15 kV metal-clad switchgear operate through maximum voltage range 15kV. They comprise four auxiliary compartments, a safety shutter, and a transformer. Auxiliary compartments are used for installing voltage or control power transformers, or primary fuses. Safety shutter operates when the auxiliary drawer is withdrawn to protect workmen from accidental contact.

27kV Metal-clad Switchgear: These switchgears encompass horizontal draw out vacuum circuit breaks and it consist of features and advantages of 5 kV and 15 kV metal-clad switchgear. The 27kV metal-clad switchgear are insulated with cycloaliphatic epoxy. 27 kV metal-clad switchgear operates through voltage higher than 15 kV to 27 kV.

38kV Metal-clad Switchgear: 38kV metal-clad switchgear are mostly used in new constructions and also to replace old air-break. These metal-clad switchgears are preferred in industries, as they provide high voltage and require less space. These switchgears are made up of axial-magnetic and copper-chrome which provide dielectric strength and better performance. The 38kV metal-clad switchgear have separate control compartment for monitoring and protecting devices.

Others: The others segment includes metal-clad switchgear of different voltage such as 2.4 kV, 25 kV, 27.6 kV, 34.5 kV, etc.

By End Use

Commercial: Metal-clad switchgear are used for commercial purpose in office buildings, medical centers, hotels, malls, retail stores, multifamily housing buildings, farm land, and warehouses. Metal-clad switchgear are used to provide large electrical backups which are required for electrical equipment in commercial establishments.

Industrial: Metal-clad switchgear provide protection and safety and thus are used in large industries. These gears are primarily used in the electrical industry to stabilize voltage. Metal-clad switchgear are used in power generation, transportation, marine industries. Large amounts of energy are required for power generation, which requires electricity load protection. In the marine industry, low voltage motors are used for cargo pumps, steering pumps, engine rooms, which require metal-clad switchgear load protection and safety.
