Step-upTransformer transformer with fewer turns wire its primary coil than
in its secondary coil.
Surge Protection Device device designed provide degree protection for
(SPD) electrical equipment from the damaging effects surge.The step-up transformer used step up
the primary voltage higher secondary voltage.This
term applies both secondary surge arresters and transient
voltage surge suppressors.

Surge increase least ten percent current and voltage that
typically lasts only few microseconds.
Switchgear coordinated design consisting switching and interrupting
devices and associated equipment such control and
protective devices and metering. Unlike panelboards, switchboards sometimes
must mounted away from wall allow access rear-
mounted equipment
