Metal Enclosed Switchgear
Industrial-Grade Switching & Protection
Metal-enclosed switchgear is the backbone of industrial and commercial power distribution, providing robust circuit protection, switching, and isolation in a fully enclosed metal housing. These assemblies are designed for indoor or outdoor installation in substations, industrial plants, data centers, and commercial buildings.
Metal-clad designs feature removable draw-out circuit breakers for safe, convenient maintenance without de-energizing the entire switchgear lineup. Arc-resistant construction options provide additional personnel safety by directing arc energy away from operators during fault events.
Xplor Energy supplies metal-enclosed switchgear from leading manufacturers and provides comprehensive retrofit and reconditioning services — replacing obsolete air-magnetic or oil circuit breakers with modern vacuum technology and digital protective relaying.
