Why is High Voltage Switchgear a key guarantee for the safe operation of power systems?

2025-08-01

Lugao has been deeply involved in the power industry for 20 years and has witnessed countless technological innovations in equipment. However, when it comes to ensuring power grid security, high-voltage switchgear is undoubtedly the core line of defense. As a technician at Lugao Electric, I understand only too well how critical high-voltage switchgear is to maintaining system stability. Today, let's discuss how high-voltage switchgear solves some of the most daunting problems in modern power systems.

High Voltage Switchgear

How does High Voltage Switchgear meet the challenging demands of extreme operating conditions?


When the power grid experiences a short circuit or overload, conventional equipment often struggles. Lugao's High Voltage Switchgear features a modular design, equipped with vacuum interrupters and an intelligent protection system, and has successfully passed 200kA short-circuit current tests. Recall that in a substation incident last year, this system isolated the fault in just 8 milliseconds, preventing millions in losses. If you need equipment that can withstand extreme conditions, Lugao's solutions are worth a closer look.


Our specially developed spring energy storage device is truly powerful, enabling switch disconnection speeds of 30 milliseconds or less, significantly faster than the industry average! Combined with real-time temperature monitoring, this high-voltage switchgear can proactively detect potential failures. One steel mill reported a 72% reduction in equipment failure rate after three years of use – demonstrating the real value of intelligent high-voltage switchgear!


While participating in numerous smart grid projects around the world, we've discovered that traditional switchgear can no longer meet the demands of renewable energy integration. Lugao's new generation of high-voltage switchgear features a digital interface that seamlessly integrates with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. This is incredibly useful for wind farms and photovoltaic power plants—previously, equipment data had to be manually recorded. Now, fully automated monitoring significantly increases operational efficiency. Its compact design reduces floor space by 40%, facilitating substation retrofits.


As an industry veteran, I guarantee that Lugao's high-voltage switchgear will withstand the rigors of the field. All products are KEMA certified and come with an extended 10-year warranty. If you require expert high-voltage solutions, please feel free to contact lugaoteam@lugaoelectric.com, and our engineers will customize the ideal solution for you. Safety is paramount; let us protect the lifeline of the power grid together.
