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 the difference between circuit breaker and switchgear?
A circuit breaker is an automatically-operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and, by interrupting continuity, to immediately discontinue electrical flow.The term switchgear, used in association with the electric power system, or grid, refers to the combination of electrical disconnects, fuses and/or circuit breakers used to isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is used both to de-energize equipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults downstream.
