A switchgear room is a room in a building which contains switchgear. It is typically a locked room in the ground floor of a building where the service enters the property. It would usually contain the supply authority's meters and the main protective devices (fuses, breakers) for the building's electrical installation. The room should not be used for storage or any other use.
A different answer
A switchgear room is an enclosed space - within an electrical power generating station or substation - in which are located high-voltage circuit breakers, protective relays, battery supplies, etc. The types of circuit breakers located inside switchgear rooms are indoor types and not suitable for locating in the substation compound. In the UK, these types of circuit breaker are typically metal-clad 11-kV oil circuit breakers (OCBs), and are supplied from primary (33/11-kV) Transformers located in the substation compound and, themselves, supplied from outdoor-type 33-kV circuit breakers in the same compound.

What are the roles and responsibilities of testing and commissioning engineer in substation?
There are a great many. but to keep it simple: (a) pressure-testing the cables/switchgear/transformers/etc. (i.e. testing the insulation using high-voltage test sets); (b) testing the operation of the switchgear; (c) testing the operation of the protective relays. ...but lots more.
What is rm6 by schneider?
A piece of Medium Voltage switchgear, commonly referred to as a "Ring Main Unit" (RMU), It reticulates power to other MV pieces of equipment such as transformers.
How do you calculate the size of an air conditioner for a switch gear room?
Same as any other room with one possible exception, determine the present heat load in the room but also allow for any future heat generating equipment you may install there and that is what you buy. Bearing in mind you do not want to grossly oversize the initial install allowing for equipment that is 10 years away. Better to make provisions such as installing the curb and ductwork for a second unit now but actually wait on installing and commisioning the unit until the new equipment arrives. Otherwise just buy what you need for now either way the calculation is the same equipment = heat load. The literature on the switchgear should provide the heat load information.
What is a double-ended switchgear?

Is a series inductive reactor a switchgear?
'Switchgear' is a generic term for all switching devices, such as circuit breakers, isolators, air-break links, etc. A reactor is simply a coil so, no, it is not classified as being switchgear.
What is the name for a collection of switchgear in the context of electricity distribution?
I don't know of a formal name, but in the trade we refer to it as a "switchgear bank".
What is the most common type of switchgear?

What are the disadvantages of MNSLV switchgear?
Some disadvantages of MNSLV (Medium Voltage Metal-clad Switchgear with Vacuum Circuit Breaker) switchgear include higher initial installation costs compared to other switchgear types, potential space constraints due to its larger size and weight, and the need for specialized maintenance training due to the complexity of the equipment.
What country imports the most switchgear products to the U.S.?
The United States imported most switchgear industry products in the late 1990s from Mexico.
What is low voltage switchgear?
Low-voltage switchgear may be suitable for industrial or commercial use, so long as the distribution system does not exceed 600 volts.They may either be used alone or incorporated into a larger unit for secondary monitoring of power utilization.Be sure to always purchase switchgear from a trusted company, and research industry standard terms of use.
