Power Distribution & Protection
Switchgear in Canada
Low- and medium-voltage metal-enclosed and metal-clad switchgear for utilities, industry and commercial power distribution — stocked and shipped Canada-wide.
Purcee Industrial Power supplies switchgear across Canada. We stock, configure and ship low- and medium-voltage switchgear for utilities, industrial plants and commercial facilities, backed by full engineering support and nationwide logistics from our Foothills, Alberta head office.
From metal-enclosed and metal-clad lineups to motor-protection and main-tie-main configurations, we help engineers and EPCs specify the right voltage class, bus rating and protection scheme — then deliver to schedule.
Overview
What is switchgear?
Switchgear is the assembly of circuit breakers, disconnects, buses, fuses and protective relays used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. It is the backbone of safe power distribution in substations, plants and large buildings — clearing faults, enabling maintenance and protecting downstream equipment.
Switchgear is broadly grouped into low-voltage (up to 1 kV) and medium-voltage (typically 1–38 kV) classes, and by construction into metal-enclosed and metal-clad designs. We supply both, configured to your one-line and protection requirements.

FAQ
Switchgear — FAQ
What is the difference between low- and medium-voltage switchgear?
Low-voltage switchgear operates up to 1 kV and is used for building and plant distribution, while medium-voltage switchgear typically covers 1–38 kV for substations and primary distribution. Purcee supplies both across Canada.
Does Purcee supply switchgear across Canada?
Yes. We stock and ship low- and medium-voltage switchgear nationwide from our Foothills, Alberta head office, with delivery coordinated to your project schedule.
What is the difference between metal-clad and metal-enclosed switchgear?
Metal-clad switchgear uses grounded metal barriers between compartments and draw-out breakers for higher safety and maintainability, while metal-enclosed is a broader category with fewer internal barriers. We help select the right construction for your application.
