Professional low voltage (LV) metal enclosed switchgear is engineered with robust safety protection and stable operational performance, effectively safeguarding the safe, continuous and reliable operation of entire electrical distribution systems. It is specially optimized to drastically reduce system downtime caused by routine maintenance, circuit faults and equipment troubleshooting, minimizing operational losses for users. As a core indispensable equipment in modern industrial and commercial power distribution infrastructures, this series of LV switchgear features strong adaptability and versatile scalability, covering a wide range of power supply and distribution application scenarios across various industries.
GGD (Fixed General Power Distribution Cabinet) and GCK (Withdrawable General Low Voltage Switchgear) are two mainstream and mature types of low voltage switchgear. They are widely deployed in industrial parks, commercial buildings, factory workshops and other scenarios, undertaking core functions of centralized power control, electrical fault protection, safe power transmission and reasonable power distribution for low-voltage power systems.
The GGD series belongs to fixed-type low voltage switchgear. All core internal components including circuit breakers, busbars, relays and wiring structures are fixedly installed inside the cabinet with stable structural integration, which features firm installation, strong structural rigidity and low failure rate. This fixed design ensures stable long-term operation and simplifies daily routine inspection work. It is applicable to low voltage power distribution systems with a rated current up to 3200A. Meanwhile, we can conduct targeted personalized structural design and functional configuration according to the actual power demand, on-site installation environment and customized operational requirements of different projects to meet diverse application standards.

In contrast, the GCK series is a high-performance withdrawable-type low voltage switchgear. Its core functional components such as circuit breakers are designed with an integrated pull-out structure. During daily equipment maintenance, component replacement or circuit fault handling, the functional units can be directly pulled out independently without shutting down the entire power distribution system or cutting off the overall power supply. This greatly improves maintenance efficiency, avoids large-scale power outage losses and ensures continuous system operation. Supporting a maximum rated current of 4000A, the GCK switchgear boasts excellent flexible customization capabilities. It can freely adjust internal functional modules, circuit configurations and protection parameters according to on-site load conditions and project demands, perfectly adapting to complex and variable power distribution scenarios.
The product lineup covers GGJ and MNS series low voltage metal enclosed switchgear, further enriching the application coverage of LV power distribution solutions. All models in this product series adopt compact cabinet structure design and optimized internal layout, which effectively saves installation space while ensuring efficient power transmission and stable system operation. With standardized manufacturing technology, strict safety protection design and reliable operational performance, GGD, GCK, GGJ and MNS low voltage switchgears deliver safe, efficient and economical power distribution services, becoming the preferred power distribution equipment for numerous industrial production and commercial construction projects.

Metal‑Enclosed Construction
All our products feature a metal enclosed switchgear design – every live part is housed inside an earthed metallic enclosure, preventing accidental contact and protecting against dust, moisture, and mechanical impact. This robust construction enhances operator safety and equipment longevity, making it ideal for harsh industrial environments.
Compliance with International Standards
Our switchgear strictly follows IEC 61439‑1:2020 and other relevant parts of the IEC 61439 series. These standards define the general rules, service conditions, structural requirements, and verification tests for low‑voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies. Additionally, we comply with IEEE C37.20.1 (for metal‑enclosed low‑voltage power circuit breaker switchgear) and GB7251.1 (Chinese national standard) to ensure global acceptance.
Customization Capabilities
We offer custom low voltage switchgear solutions tailored to your specific voltage, current, number of ways, protection degree (IP), and environmental conditions. Our modular design allows easy system expansion and upgrade, ensuring that your power distribution system grows with your needs.
Metal‑enclosed switchgear (like our GGD, GGJ, and MNS) houses all components within a common earthed metal enclosure, with functional units separated by air gaps but without solid barriers between compartments. It is compact, cost‑effective, and sufficient for most industrial and commercial applications.
Metal‑clad switchgear, on the other hand, is a subset of metal‑enclosed where each major component (circuit breaker, busbars, instrument transformers) is installed in its own individual metal compartment, separated by grounded metallic barriers. This provides superior fault containment and is preferred for critical installations where arc‑flash safety is paramount.
Our MNS series, with its modular drawers, offers many of the benefits of metal‑clad design while retaining the flexibility of a withdrawable system – making it an excellent choice for projects that demand high reliability and easy maintenance.
Install the switchgear in a clean, dry, and well‑ventilated location.
Ensure adequate working and maintenance clearances around the equipment.
Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance manual for routine checks and lubrication.
Perform regular visual inspections to detect corrosion, loose connections, or signs of overheating.
Schedule preventive maintenance (cleaning, tightening, contact resistance measurement, and functional testing) to avoid unexpected failures.
Keep a maintenance log to track performance and predict component replacement intervals.

View MoreLow voltage switchgear is an assembly of electrical devices – including circuit breakers, switches, relays, and fuses – used to control, protect, and isolate electrical circuits operating at voltages below 1 kV AC (or 1.5 kV DC). Its primary functions are power distribution, fault protection (short‑circuit, overload), and safe switching operations.
The main difference lies in the voltage level. LV (low voltage) switchgear operates at voltages up to 1000V AC or 1500V DC, while MV (medium voltage) switchgear covers 1 kV to 36 kV (or higher in some regions). In a power network, MV switchgear is typically upstream and feeds multiple LV switchboards.
The primary standard is IEC 61439 series. Specifically, IEC 61439‑1:2020 sets the general rules and common requirements for all low‑voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies. Other parts (e.g., IEC 61439‑2, ‑3) cover specific types like power switchgear and distribution boards.
A: According to IEC definitions:
ELV (Extra‑Low Voltage): ≤ 50 V AC or ≤ 120 V DC (ripple‑free)
LV (Low Voltage): > ELV but ≤ 1000 V AC or ≤ 1500 V DC
HV (High Voltage): > 1000 V AC or > 1500 V DC
A: Yes. Both 24V AC and 24V DC are well below the 50V AC / 120V DC thresholds, so they fall under ELV.
IEC defines three ELV system types:
SELV (Safety Extra‑Low Voltage) – the safest, uses an isolating transformer and requires no additional protective measures against electric shock.
PELV (Protective Extra‑Low Voltage) – may be earthed, but requires equipotential bonding for safety.
FELV (Functional Extra‑Low Voltage) – does not meet SELV or PELV conditions; additional protection measures are needed depending on the application.
Traditionally around 40 years, but modern designs typically expect 10–20 years under normal service conditions. Actual lifespan depends on operating environment, load cycles, and the quality of routine maintenance. Regular preventive maintenance can significantly extend service life.
The key IEEE standard is IEEE C37.20.1 – Standard for Metal‑Enclosed Low‑Voltage Power Circuit Breaker Switchgear. It covers service conditions, ratings, temperature limits, insulation classes, dielectric tests, and application guidelines.
The major applicable standards include:
IEC 61439 series (international)
IEEE C37.20.1 (North America)
GB7251.1 (China)
IEC TR 63482:2024 (maintenance guide for low‑voltage switchgear)
