Medium Voltage (MV) refers to distribution systems operating between 1 kV and 72 kV. However, for practical and economic reasons, most medium voltage networks are limited to 36 kV.
Connecting an installation to a medium voltage utility network typically requires a dedicated substation, known as the main substation. Depending on the scale of the installation, additional secondary substations may also be necessary.
What is Medium Voltage Switchgear?
A full range of primary or secondary distribution MV equipment to control, protect, and isolate power distribution systems in electrical distribution, commercial, and industrial applications. The SeT series offers options up to 36kV and up to 72kV.
Why is MV switchgear used?
In electric utilities and in facilities with high electricity consumption, it detects, clears, and isolates faults from any downstream connected electrical equipment, protecting them from overloads. It provides a disconnection point from the upstream electrical grid to:
The main types of MV switchgear are Air-Insulated Switchgear (AIS), Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS), and Shielded Solid-Insulated Switchgear (2SIS).
What is SF6-free MV?
It’s MV without SF6, developed to reduce CO2e and comply with regulations like the F-gas regulation. SF6-free switchgear offers an easy transition and high-performance option.

In electric utilities and in facilities with high electricity consumption, it detects, clears, and isolates faults from any downstream connected electrical equipment, protecting them from overloads. It provides a disconnection point from the upstream electrical grid to:
- Isolate for maintenance
- Automate for backup auto-transfer solutions
- Integrate with microgrids
