SCHNEIDER SWITCHGEAR IN INDIA

Overview

EKA  is a leading dealer and distributor of Schneider Switchgear in India. We distribute Schneider Switchgear in Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Delhi.

In today’s world of technology and automation, a reliable power supply is essential for smooth operations in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Power fluctuations can lead to poor performance and damage to equipment such as motor starters, servo motors, and other systems.

Medium Voltage Switchgears are designed to stabilize irregular power flow. They protect connected devices by controlling, metering, and regulating the flow of electricity in the distribution system.

These devices are typically enclosed in metal structures. When combined, they are known as a switchgear line-up or assembly. Schneider Electric’s medium voltage switchgear operates between 3 kV and 36 kV, making it ideal for motor protection.

Our solutions help ensure stable operations, reduce downtime, and prevent damage caused by inconsistent power—improving overall efficiency and reliability.
