About disconnect switches
Disconnect switches help isolate electrical circuits for inspection and maintenance schedules. They include low, medium, and high-voltage switches. Low-voltage disconnect switches can be mounted on switchboards, panel boards, or wall mounts. Vendors also offer fused or non-fused disconnects, and electrically closed and electrically opened devices. Low-voltage disconnect switches serve as primary circuit breakers in switchboards and may also be used as feeder disconnects. Generally, disconnect switches may also be used as a part of a ground fault protection scheme when geared with a shunt trip.
Management and refurbishment of aging transmission and distribution infrastructure is likely to boost commercial prospects of the high-voltage disconnect switches market. We expect this segment to grow at the highest rate compared to low and medium-voltage disconnect switches. This growth may also be attributed to anticipated expansions in the smart-grid market during 2015-2019.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global disconnect switch market to grow at a CAGR of 6.99% over the period 2014-2019.
