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.
