GGD Switchgear is a fixed low-voltage distribution assembly for industrial and building electrical systems. Read the GGD1, GGD2 and GGD3 variant tables separately; additional series options do not form one combined configuration.
GGD Switchgear Specifications
Basic Variant Ratings
| Variant | Rated voltage | Rated current options | Short-time withstand (1 s) | Peak withstand |

Ratings and options apply to the selected configuration. The agreed drawings and equipment schedule define the supplied assembly.
Fixed distribution arrangement
The fixed construction is organized around the specified incoming and outgoing circuits. Device selection, internal connections, protection coordination and cable space are defined by the circuit schedule. The assembly can serve power and lighting distribution duties without assuming that every outgoing device has the same rating as the main busbar.
Select a basic variant first
The table presents the three basic variants described in the supplied documentation. Higher-current or enhanced short-circuit arrangements require a separately defined design. Installation access, heat dissipation and the actual load profile should be reviewed when agreeing the lineup and enclosure.
Information for Selection
- GGD1/2/3 variant and single-line diagram
- Incoming/outgoing currents and prospective fault level
- Protection devices, auxiliary circuits and metering
- Indoor environment, access, cable entry and enclosure protection

Related construction and acceptance questions
Use the fixed versus withdrawable switchgear guide to compare this fixed arrangement with GCS-II withdrawable equipment. Define equivalent circuit duties, ratings and access requirements rather than comparing cabinet appearance or a series maximum.
The FAT buyer checklist explains how to agree drawing revisions, inspection records and outstanding-item closure. Review the low-voltage catalogue and industrial application requirements alongside the circuit schedule.
