    The term switchgear, used in association with the electric power system, 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.

    An electric switchboard is a device that directs electricity from one source to another.

    Switchgear is a large switch used to turn on or cut off the power in various parts of an electricity distribution network. You use switchgear to isolate a fault in the network to minimise the effects of interruptions. Once a fault has been repaired, the switchgear is operated to turn the power back on.
