Every effective and efficient electrical system needs high quality switchgear to not only ensure that the system is safe but that it is effective, provides back-up, suffers minimal downtime, and can offer the uninterrupted power supply that users and owners need. There is a range of MV switchgear at Slaters Electricals that serve these purposes and more so that contractors, plant owners, and businesses can benefit from the features they need in their electrical system.
MV switchgear can be used to help ensure that a system is safe from surges and does not become a hazard to those that use the system. Switchgear can offer similar features to a fuse box so that any massive surge in voltage is detected and the currency is restricted. This can prevent too much power being delivered to machinery and equipment which can prevent overloading.
Not only is this prevention of overloading safer but it can also help to reduce costs within the business. Machinery and electrical equipment is designed to cope with a certain voltage and a specific currency. Surges and spikes can end up delivering considerably more than a machine may be designed to use and this can lead to damage to the machine. If it happens on several occasions it can become a real problem which may require costly repairs to recover from.
Some systems require an emergency backup. For example, hospitals and police stations require that power always be accessible even, or especially, during emergencies. Installing a generator means that there is an alternative power supply which can be used but it is the job of the MV switchgear to ensure that the power is switched so that it is supplied from the generator rather than the mains when necessary.
When it comes to repairs and maintenance, it is important that you are able to limit the supply so that you can safely complete maintenance and testing. With an advanced electrical system that utilises effective switchgear it can make the testing, maintenance, and repairs of the system considerably easier and a lot safer which, in turn, means it should also be more affordable.
