Conclusion: European players maintain short-term dominance in premium segments, but Chinese manufacturers are rapidly gaining ground through cost and scale advantages. Future competition will center on smart functionalities, green compatibility, and modular innovation, with technological agility determining market repositioning.

China holds 60-70% of Indonesia's switchgear imports, led by cost-competitive LV/MV products. Key drivers: Indonesia's power demand growth (6-7%/year) and infrastructure projects. Challenges include local content rules (TKDN) and certification. Growth areas: renewables and smart grids. Chinese firms advance via tech upgrades and localized production.

Munich, Germany – From June 24th to 27th local time, the 27th Laser World of Photonics was held at Messe München. ShengLong Electric showcased its self-developed AI-iPanel, the world's first artificial intelligence power distribution switchgear, attracting significant attention from global professionals.

Fire-Rated Switchgear (also known as Fire-Resistant Switchgear or Fire-Resistant Distribution Cabinets) are specially designed electrical enclosures. Their core function is to maintain the normal operation of internal electrical equipment for a specified duration (typically 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, or 120 minutes) during a fire, while preventing flames and hot gases from propagating through the enclosure to other areas. This provides critical time for personnel evacuation, firefighting operations, and the continued operation of essential equipment.

For Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS), since the main live circuits are enclosed within sealed, gas-filled compartments and external connections utilize solid insulation, the insulation performance is unaffected by atmospheric pressure. The primary consideration for GIS at high altitudes is the mechanical strength of the gas enclosure (gas compartment).

IEC standard switchgear and UL standard switchgear (represented by UL1558 and UL891) fall under different technical systems in power systems, with differences mainly reflected in their standard frameworks, structural design, performance requirements, and applicable scenarios. The following is a comprehensive comparative analysis:

SEC Specifications: 17.5kV Ring Main Unit (RMU) - Key Features         Outdoor Enclosure: Designed for outdoor installation.         Dedicated Cable Withstand Voltage Test Terminal Compartment: Features a separate, accessible compartment for cable high-potential (Hi-Pot) testing.         Self-Powered Protection Unit: Utilizes an internal power source for the protection relay.         SF6 Insulated, Single-Tank Design F+F+V Configuration: Common SF6 gas tank housing a combination of Load Switch (F) + Load Switch (F) + Circuit Breaker (V).         Ratings: Ring Switch Unit: 630A. Feeder Circuit Breaker: 200A.         Compliance Standard: SEC Standard 32-SDMS-11.

Switchgear destined for the North American market requires UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification. UL is a U.S. safety certification organization. It develops its own standards, such as UL 891 (Dead-Front Distribution Switchboards), UL 67 (Panelboards), and UL 845 (Motor Control Centers), and also provides product certification services.
