Switchgear and Switchboards, Low and Medium Voltage

Every transformer feeds something. We source the switchboard or switchgear on the other side of it, new or reconditioned, and quote it delivered with the transformer or on its own.

What we source

Low voltage switchboards

Up to 600 volts, built to UL 891. The main distribution point in most commercial buildings, typically 800 to 6000 amps, with molded case or insulated case main and feeder breakers.

Low voltage power circuit breaker switchgear

Up to 600 volts, built to UL 1558 and ANSI C37.20.1. Drawout power circuit breakers in separate compartments, used where uptime and maintenance access matter, such as data centers, hospitals and industrial plants.

Medium voltage metal clad switchgear

5 kV to 38 kV, built to ANSI/IEEE C37.20.2. Drawout vacuum circuit breakers with grounded metal barriers between compartments.

Medium voltage metal enclosed switchgear

Built to ANSI/IEEE C37.20.3. Load interrupter switches and fuses, the economical choice for service entrance and transformer primary switching.

Pad mounted switchgear

Outdoor, tamper resistant switching and fusing for underground distribution, built to IEEE C37.74, often installed next to pad mounted transformers.

Panelboards and motor control centers

Panelboards to UL 67 and motor control centers to UL 845, for the branch circuits and motors downstream of the switchboard.

Common questions

What is the difference between a switchboard and switchgear?

A switchboard (UL 891) is front accessible with breakers mounted on a common bus and is the usual commercial choice. Low voltage switchgear (UL 1558) puts each drawout power circuit breaker in its own compartment, costs more, and is used where maintenance and uptime matter.
