A switchgear is a combination of components such as switches and circuit breakers that are used for controlling and distributing electric current across end-users. The use of a switchgear enables continuous transfer of electric current while protecting against current overload, short circuit, and insulation failure.

It also provides safe isolation from current-driven parts and modifies the load-carrying system at each level of installation. Switchgears are divided into three types based on its load-bearing capacity: Low-voltage (LV) switchgear, medium-voltage (MV) switchgear, and high-voltage switchgear. Switchgears are used across various sectors such as Commercial, Residential, Infrastructure, T&D, Power, and Others.

The analysts forecast the LV and MV Switchgear market in India to grow at a CAGR of 12.05 percent over the period 2013-2018.

The LV and MV Switchgear market in India can be divided into two segments based on product: LV Switchgear and MV Switchgear.
