We’re known for handling the complex—but we build the simple too.
How to Choose the Right Medium-Voltage Switchgear
Choosing the right medium-voltage switchgear depends on the electrical system, application, installation environment, protection requirements, and plans for future capacity. Key considerations include voltage class, amperage, available fault current, utility or generator integration, protection and control requirements, enclosure type, available footprint, and applicable standards.
Application and Voltage Requirements
Start with the system voltage, load requirements, power sources, and the role the switchgear will play within the distribution system.
​
Utility and Substation Applications
Substation projects may require additional consideration around utility coordination, incoming service, protection schemes, fault-current ratings, equipment accessibility, and future system expansion.
Capacity and Scalability
Higher-capacity systems require equipment engineered around the expected electrical load, bus requirements, protection scheme, and potential future growth. Capacity should be based on the system design rather than simply selecting the largest available configuration.
​
Environment and Installation
Indoor versus outdoor installation, available space, environmental exposure, accessibility, and maintenance requirements can influence which switchgear configuration is the best fit.
​
Enercon’s engineering team develops custom medium-voltage switchgear around the project’s electrical, physical, and operational requirements rather than forcing the system into a standard off-the-shelf configuration.
Metal-Clad, Metal-Enclosed or Pad-Mounted Switchgear?
Different medium-voltage switchgear configurations are suited to different power distribution, installation, and operating requirements.
Metal-Clad Switchgear
Metal-clad switchgear separates major components into individual grounded metal compartments. It is commonly considered for applications requiring a high degree of equipment isolation, protection, maintainability, and operational reliability.
​
Metal-Enclosed Switchgear
Metal-enclosed switchgear houses switching and protective equipment within a metal enclosure but does not necessarily provide the same level of compartmentalization as metal-clad designs. It can be a practical choice for industrial, commercial, utility, and infrastructure applications where reliable medium-voltage distribution and efficient use of space are priorities.
Pad-Mounted Switchgear
Pad-mounted switchgear is designed primarily for outdoor installation and is often used for utility service, distributed power systems, and projects where weather resistance, accessibility, and efficient field installation are important.
​
The right configuration depends on system protection requirements, operating environment, maintenance needs, footprint, accessibility, applicable standards, and overall project design. Enercon can help determine which configuration best aligns with the project’s requirements.

Medium Voltage Switchgear FAQ
To request a quote for custom medium-voltage switchgear, provide your voltage class, amperage requirements, one-line diagrams, enclosure preferences, utility or generator integration needs, protection requirements, site conditions, applicable standards, and project timeline. This helps Enercon’s engineering team design a switchgear solution that fits the electrical system, environment, and installation requirements.
Yes, Enercon builds custom medium-voltage switchgear for complex, non-standard, and built-to-spec applications. This includes projects with unique configurations, demanding environments, tight footprints, utility coordination requirements, or mission-critical reliability needs. Enercon’s in-house designers, fabricators, and engineers support projects where standard off-the-shelf switchgear may not meet the system requirements.
Metal-enclosed medium-voltage switchgear is a strong fit when a project requires protected electrical equipment, tested performance, compact design, and scalable power distribution. It is commonly used for mission-critical facilities, industrial processes, utility substations, and infrastructure projects where system reliability, protection, and long-term serviceability are essential.
Pad-mounted medium-voltage switchgear is often the better option for outdoor applications, utility service locations, distributed power systems, and projects that need durable equipment with efficient field installation. Pad-mounted switchgear can help simplify site deployment while supporting dependable medium-voltage power distribution in harsh or space-constrained environments.
Yes, medium-voltage switchgear is a strong fit for data center power infrastructure when the facility requires reliable upstream power distribution, utility coordination, generator integration, or scalable electrical capacity. For data centers, custom medium-voltage switchgear can support uptime goals, redundancy planning, and future load growth while keeping the system built to project-specific requirements.
Custom medium-voltage switchgear supports mission-critical facilities by aligning the equipment design with the facility’s power capacity, protection scheme, redundancy requirements, and operating environment. This is important for data centers, industrial plants, substations, and critical infrastructure where downtime, equipment failure, or poor coordination can create major operational risk.
ANSI and IEEE standards help define performance, safety, testing, and design expectations for medium-voltage switchgear. For buyers, equipment built to applicable ANSI and IEEE standards provides greater confidence that the switchgear is engineered for reliable operation, code-aligned performance, and use in demanding electrical distribution environments.
Enercon helps reduce risk on medium-voltage switchgear projects through custom engineering, in-house fabrication, testing, validation, and close collaboration throughout the build process. This approach helps confirm that the finished switchgear matches the project specifications, supports the required application, and arrives ready for efficient installation and commissioning.
