Switchgear is classified based on voltage levels into three main types

Low Voltage (LV) Switchgear (Up to 1 kV AC): Used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to manage power distribution and ensure safe electrical operation.

Medium Voltage (MV) Switchgear (1 kV to 75 kV AC): Commonly found in power distribution networks and substations, providing protection and efficient power flow control.

High Voltage (HV) Switchgear (Above 75 kV AC): Used in power transmission systems to handle large-scale electricity distribution with high efficiency and reliability.
