Switchgear Market in India - 2011
Switchgear is used at all the points of access and control of
electricity. Every switching point in the electrical infrastructure mandates use
of switchgear. The switchgear industry in India is a developed industry,
producing and supplying a wide variety of switchgear needed in the industrial
and power sectors. Switchgear is classified mainly based on the insulation
medium and breaking medium used. In India, the entire range of circuit breakers
from bulk oil, minimum oil, air blast to vacuum is manufactured to standard
specifications. However, international collaboration is used to manufacture
sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) based switchgear. This industry is highly organized
with 15 players out of the total 25, controlling more than 90% of the market
share. The industry is capable to meet the domestic demand and manufactures the
entire voltage range from 240 KV to 800 KV. Vacuum based switchgears are
predominantly used across the utilities and industry, which is an upgrade from
air and oil technology. In the higher voltage range, utilities are now adopting
SF6 based technology for increased safety.
On the basis of operating voltage levels, Switchgears can be
categorized into three groups:
Low voltage switchgear (upto 1.1 KV): The low voltage
switchgear product range is classified into domestic, power distribution system
and industrial control system. In the case of low voltage switchgears, MCBs are
fast replacing rewireable switch fuses. Low voltage switchgear is showing a high
growth rate; partly due to high demand for MCBs in the housing sector and MCCBs
in rural electrification
Medium voltage switchgear (upto 33 KV): The medium
voltage switchgear includes products below 33 kV such as various types of
circuit breakers viz. ACB, OCB, MOCB, VCB etc.
High voltage switchgear (above 33 KV): The high
voltage switchgear group includes products above 36 KV such as SF6 breaker, GIS,
lighting arresters and composite insulators etc. SF6 technology is now giving
way to the self-blast mechanism and this technology is not available in India.
