Manufacturers of power distribution equipment are expected to provide products that last for decades, even under harsh service conditions. In the case of surge arresters, the housing protects the internal metal oxide varistor discs.

Considerable effort has been devoted to planning meshed, multi-terminal HVDC networks.

Finding ideal profiles for ceramic insulators has proven a challenging process, as demonstrated by the succession of numerous different designs over the past 100 years. All aimed to achieve some optimal combination of pollution flashover performance and self-cleaning properties.

There are some 200 to 300 million distribution transformers in service worldwide. Of that population, a few hundred thousand are likely protected in a fashion similar to what is shown below, taken from a single-phase distribution line in North Africa.

The drop-out fuse cutout is a branch line of 10kV distribution line and distribution transformers of the most commonly used as a short-circuit protection switch, which has an economic, convenient operation, to adapt to the outdoor environment and strong characteristics, are widely used in 10kV distribution line and distribution transformer primary side as a protection and for equipment investment, cut operational purposes. It is installed on a 10kV distribution line branch line, can narrow the scope of power outages, because there is a clear break point, with the isolation switch functionality, to the maintenance section lines and equipment to create a secure operating environment, an increase of maintenance personnel sense of security.

Disconnect switch is one of the most used electrical appliances in high-voltage switchgear.
