Explanation:
switchgear

The term switchgear, commonly used in association with the electric power system, or grid, refers to the combination of electrical disconnects and/or circuit breakers meant to isolate equipment in or near an electrical substation.

Typically switchgear is located on both the high votlage, and the low voltage side of large power transformers. The switchgear located on the low voltage side of the transformers in distribution type substations, now are typically located in what is called a Power Control Center. Inside this building are typically smaller, ~15kV circuitbreakers feeding the distribution system. Also contained inside these Power Control Centers are various relays, meters, and other communication equipment allowing for intelligent control of the substation.
