OverviewElectricity distribution refers to the final stage inthedeliveryofelectricitytoendusers.Adistributionnetwork carries electricity from the maintransmissionsystem,anddeliversittoconsumers.In general such a network includes medium-voltage (under 50 kV) power lines, electricalsubstations, pole-mounted transformers, low-voltage (under 1 kV) distribution wiring and, insome cases, electricitymeters. thismodule willfocusonthedistributionsystemsformines,bothaboveandbelowground.

OverviewSwitchgear plays an important role in electricitydistribution and its performance significantlyaffects the overall performance of the system.Failure to efficiently disconnect faults elsewherein the network or failure in switchgear itself iscostly, resulting in additional loss of supply,damagetoequipment.andpossiblyfatalinjurytopersonnel. It is therefore critically important thatswitchgear isoperatedandmaintainedcorrectly,withinanoverallassetmanagementregimethatisboth economic and effective in securing a highlevelofsystemreliability.thismodulefocusesonmediumvoltageswitchgear,whichcomprisesbyfar the bulk of switchgear on most electricitydistributionsystems.theemphasisisprimarilyonoil,airblast,SF6andvacuumcircuitbreakers,butother forms of MV switchgear, for example ringmain units and auto-reclosers, will also bediscussed.
