Enumeration:

Switchgear cannot be used profitably on high voltage system (33 kV) for two reasons:

1. Firstly, when a fuse blows, it takes some time to replace it and consequently there is interruption of service to
the customers.
2. Secondly, the fuse cannot successfully interrupt large fault currents that result from the faults on high voltage
2. system.
