        Switchgear

        Switchgear is made up of electrical disconnect switches, fuses, or circuit breakers that control, protect, and isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is used to de-energize equipment to allow maintenance work to be done and to clear faults downstream.

        Products include:

        • Breakers
        • High-voltage fuses
        • High-voltage outdoor power circuit breakers and switches
        • Low- and medium-voltage power circuit breakers
        • Medium-voltage load interrupter switches
        • Pad-mounted switching equipment
        • Power switchgear assemblies
        • Reclosers
        • Sectionalizers

        NEMA develops product Standards and advocates technical and industry positions that are in the best interests of Member companies, the industry, and the users of their products. Members generate active, effective, and organized marketing and technical programs.
