Trends in Low Voltage Distribution Systems
58彩票The traditional low-voltage distribution control method mainly uses low-voltage switch control cabinets composed of circuit breakers, contactors, fuses, control relays, transformers, and various analog pointer instruments (ammeters, voltmeters, power meters, energy meters) to achieve functions such as distribution control, protection, and monitoring.
