Absolutely. We offer OEM customization for capacity, layout, insulation type, and cabinet configuration to meet specific project requirements.
High Voltage Switchgear (HV) is electrical equipment designed to control, protect, and isolate high-voltage power systems, typically operating at 36kV and above. It plays a critical role in power generation plants, transmission substations, and large industrial distribution networks by safely interrupting fault currents and maintaining system stability.
At Lugao Power, we manufacture a full range of Air-Insulated Switchgear (AIS) and Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS), engineered to meet IEC, ANSI, and IEEE standards, ensuring long-term safety and performance in demanding environments.
AIS uses ambient air as the primary insulation medium between live parts.
