Abstract: A bushing for a metal clad medium voltage switchgear includes: a hollow body. The body is made of polyamide. A first end of the body connects to a compartment of the medium voltage switchgear. A second end of the body connects to a T-off and pin. In an embodiment, a body portion extends from the first end of the body to the second end of the body. The body portion is circular shaped about an axis extending from the first end of the body to the second end of the body.

Abstract: A circuit breaker pole for low voltage or medium voltage operation includes: a main body section; a first end section; and a second end section. The first end section is fixedly connectable to a wall of an enclosure. The second end section is fixedly connectable to the wall of the enclosure.

Abstract: A three phase switchgear or control gear includes: at least one compartment; a plurality of components for a first phase; a plurality of components for a second phase; and a plurality of components for a third phase. The plurality of components for the first phase, the second phase, and the third phase each include a connection to a main busbar, a circuit breaker actuator, a single phase circuit breaker pole, and a cable connection. The circuit breaker actuator and the single phase circuit breaker pole for the first phase are oriented along a first axis. The circuit breaker actuator and the single phase circuit breaker pole for the second phase are oriented along a second axis. The circuit breaker actuator and the single phase circuit breaker pole for the third phase are oriented along a third axis. The first axis, the second axis, and the third axis are inclined.
