Based on the insulation types, which include gas-insulated switchgear, air-insulated switchgear, and others; among them air-insulated switchgear leads the market. In applications where low-voltage switchgear is sufficient, AIS is often used due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. AIS are easier to maintain and repair compared to GIS. In regions with vast territories, such as Russia, accessibility for maintenance and servicing can be a crucial factor. AIS are known for its simplicity, robustness, and reliability. It is well-suited for many applications where straightforward switching and distribution are required. In terms of voltage types, which include low voltage, high voltage, and medium voltage, among them in Germany, high voltage is a growing market with a significant market share. Russia is actively modernising its electrical grid, which includes the upgrading of high-voltage switchgear. Modern switchgear is essential for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of high-voltage electrical transmission and distribution. Russia's vast geography requires a robust energy infrastructure to transport electricity over long distances. High-voltage switchgear is crucial for efficiently transmitting power over extended power lines, which are common in such a large country. Russia's industrial sector, including heavy industry and manufacturing, relies on a stable and efficient power supply. High-voltage switchgear is used to ensure the consistent supply of electricity to industrial facilities.
Based on the installation types, which include outdoor and indoor; among them, outdoor is the leading market. In regions with ample outdoor space, outdoor switchgear installations can be a preferred choice because they do not require dedicated indoor structures. This can be particularly relevant in vast and less densely populated areas of Russia. In remote areas or in the expansion of the electrical grid to reach underserved regions, outdoor switchgear installations can be more cost-effective and practical. In regions with milder environmental conditions, where exposure to extreme weather is less of a concern, outdoor switchgear installations can be a feasible option. Outdoor installations can provide easier access for maintenance and servicing. In Russia's vast territory, access to remote sites can be a logistical challenge, and outdoor installations can simplify maintenance efforts. Outdoor switchgear solutions can be customised to meet specific project requirements, allowing for flexibility in design and configuration.
