What is difference between metal clad & metal enclosed
switchgear?
Answer Posted / karunakar
Metal-Clad Switchgear is an assembly of units characterized
by the following features:
The main interrupting device is removable and arranged with
a mechanism for moving it
physically between connected and disconnected positions. It
is equipped with self-aligning and
self-coupling primary and secondary disconnecting devices.
The interrupting devices, buses, voltage transformers, and
control power transformers, are
completely enclosed by grounded metal barriers, which have
no intentional openings between
compartments. A metal barrier in front of the interrupting
device ensures that when, in the
connecting position, no live parts are exposed by the
opening of an enclosure door.
All live parts are enclosed within grounded metal
compartments.
The Metal eclosed switchgear assembly consists of multiple
metal-enclosed, vertical sections. Normally the end
sections are designed to allow for installation of future
sections. Each vertical section consists of up to four
individually enclosed breaker or auxiliary compartments.
Compartments are sized to provide uniform height of each
switchgear assembly.
Various components such as circuit breakers,
instrumentation and control equipment, transformers,
relays, three-phase bus work, all internal wiring,
connectors, and other supporting equipment are included in
each assembly. These units can be directly coupled to 480V
motor control centers if desired

generally in LT and MV motors we are using 3.5Coresx16,25,35,50 etc cable for supply.although motors is earthed at two point and having all protection.then why we are using that 1/2 core for earthing the motors.while in HT cable we are using only 3core cable for motor supply.generally lt and mv motors are delta connected and ht motors having star connection.whethere it is having any relation with winding connection( star or delta).all motors i am talking about are dol only.can anybody solve my confusion.thanks...
