General
Siemens low-voltage metal-enclosed
switchgear is used in electric power dis-
tribution systems for the control and pro-
tection of circuits and equipment. The
switchgear employs drawout type low
voltage power circuit breakers described
in Section 4.
LV switchgear is typically installed in:
J Industrial Plants — for power and
lighting networks and feeders, power
generation and other auxiliaries, and to
provide power for machine tools and
material handling eq
