Medium-Voltage Switchgear for Industrial & Commercial Power
Custom switchgear configurations that protect and control primary distribution on campuses, plants and large facilities.
Protecting Primary Power Distribution
Medium-voltage switchgear sits upstream of your transformers and controls the primary power feeding an entire facility. When it is configured correctly, it isolates faults quickly, keeps maintenance crews safe and allows sections of a site to be switched without shutting everything down.
EBS configures medium-voltage switchgear around the real operating needs of each facility: the utility service, the number of feeders, protective relaying requirements and the space available in the electrical room or outdoor pad.
Switchgear Solutions We Provide
Incoming line sections
Utility incoming sections with metering, main protective devices and surge protection as specified.
Feeder lineups
Feeder sections arranged to serve transformers, motors and remote substations across a site.
Protective relaying
Relay and control panels coordinated with upstream and downstream devices for selective tripping.
Indoor or outdoor enclosures
Enclosure types selected for electrical rooms, rooftops or exposed outdoor pads.
Our Process
Our Switchgear Project Process
- 01
Requirements study
We review utility requirements, fault current data and the facility's load growth plan.
- 02
Configuration
Section arrangement, interlocks and control wiring are designed for safe operation.
- 03
Build & wiring
Lineups are assembled with labeled control wiring and documented terminations.
- 04
Documentation
You receive drawings and wiring diagrams that support commissioning and future maintenance.

- Data centers and critical power sites
- Universities and large campuses
- Water and wastewater facilities
- Large commercial developments
Benefits of Custom Switchgear From EBS
- Configured around your actual one-line, not a generic lineup
- Interlocks and labeling designed with operator safety in mind
- Clear documentation for commissioning crews
- Local support for questions during installation
Medium-Voltage Switchgear FAQ
- What voltage range is considered medium voltage?
- In power distribution, medium voltage generally refers to systems above 1,000 volts up to about 35 kV, which is common for facility primary distribution.
- Do you build indoor and outdoor switchgear?
- Yes. Enclosures are selected based on where the equipment will be installed, including electrical rooms and outdoor pads.
- Can switchgear be expanded later?
- When planned from the start, lineups can include space or provisions for future feeder sections.
