Global High Voltage Switchgear Market

Switchgear is used in the electrical networks to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. The reliability of electric supply heavily depends on the effectiveness of switchgear. Generally, switchgear is used in both high and low voltage end of a High Voltage Switchgear in the substation.

End User/ Technology

Switchgear is used in high voltage substations in a power transmission and distribution network.The basic function of switchgear is to protect the equipment by tripping the power at the time of abnormal condition like a short circuit. A switchgear is a combination of power conducting components and control systems. Power conducting components include switches, circuit breakers, fuses etc. Control systems consist of current transformers, potential transformers, protective relays, and control panels. Switchgear assemblies are selected based on the voltage levels and purpose of the application.

Market Dynamics

Rising demand for electricity on account of rapid industrialization and urbanization is the primary driver for the growth of high voltage switchgear market. Introduction of smart grid technology has also impacted the market positively. Installation of new transmission and distribution network and expansion of existing ones in developing countries are increasing the demand for switchgear. Technological advancement, favorable Govt. policies and up-gradation & replacement of old equipment are also helping the market to expand.

Market Segments

The high voltage switchgear market can be segmented based on the type of insulation and application. Based on the type the market can be subdivided into three parts- gas insulated, oil insulated and air insulated. Transmission and distribution network, manufacturing & processing, and infrastructure & transportation are some of the major sectors where a wide range of switchgear application are visible.

Regional/Geographic Analysis

The high voltage switchgear market can be regionally segmented into five parts Europe, North America, South America, the Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa.
