Electric power switching

Electric power switching refers to the process of redirecting electrical energy in a power grid or circuit by opening or closing switches, circuit breakers, or relays. This control allows operators to manage the flow of electricity, connect different sources or loads, and isolate faults. Switching ensures efficient distribution, enhances safety, and maintains system stability. It can be performed manually or automatically, often involving complex control systems, to ensure reliable power delivery while protecting equipment and personnel.
