The author traces the evolution of switchgear design, from partitioned switchboards to remote control and the replacement of fuses by circuit breakers. The author places particular emphasis on the importance of safety and reliability in switchgear design, discussing the use of oil circuit breakers, circuit breaker driving mechanisms, and interlocking systems. The book also covers the use of protective relays, discriminating and excess-current cut-outs, and the arrangement of switchgear components in high-pressure galleries. Ultimately, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanical considerations involved in high-tension switchgear design, offering valuable insights for professionals in electrical engineering and power generation.
