Utilization Categories indicate the type of Load and Duty Cycle of the load basis which selection of Switchgear should be done for the intended application.

How to do Hot Dip Galvanization ?

Galvanization is the process of applying Zinc coating on Steel to prevent Corrosion. In Hot dip Galvanization, Fabrication is submerged in Molten Zinc.

What is Electrical Insulating Materials ?

Nonconducting material that provides electric isolation of two parts at different voltages.
It must have an electrical resistivity and a dielectric strength sufficiently high for the given application.
The secondary requirements relate to thermal and mechanical properties.
