Switchboards are part of domestic, industrial and electricity distribution. They must be safe and made of materials capable of withstanding mechanical, electrical and thermal effects and environmental influences. All these requirements must be respected in their design and after their production it is necessary to verify their function by measurement. Various software tools are used to effectively design and verify the electrical installation and protection of the switchgear.
