Switchgear Enclosures Keep High-Voltage Equipment Safe and Secure
Switchgear enclosures are used to protect high voltage power systems from overload. Typically housed outside a facility for safety reasons, these prefabricated structures house and shelter switchgear equipment from the weather and potential vandalism. These structures are needed by both power-generating utility companies and private industries that use high voltage electrical equipment.
