Low Voltage (LV) boards, also known as switchboards, play a central role in distributing electricity within facilities safely and efficiently. They are commonly available in two configurations: withdrawable and fixed. Each type offers distinct advantages depending on the operational requirements of the installation. Choosing between withdrawable and fixed LV boards depends on a variety of factors, including system criticality, maintenance strategy, space constraints, and budget.
Segregation in Low Voltage (LV) boards is a crucial design principle aimed at enhancing operational safety, reliability, and maintainability of electrical systems. It involves dividing the internal components of a distribution board or switchboard into separate compartments or zones to minimize the risks associated with electrical faults, unauthorized access, and maintenance activities.
