What we do
Switchgear
Expertly engineered power management solutions
AVK’s ‘one-stop shop’ philosophy enhances every stage of the power lifecycle. Our comprehensive power solutions ensure reliability, safety, and efficiency in mission-critical environments.
Our solutions include:
Integrated power management
We have comprehensive expertise integrating MV and LV switchgear with advanced generator control and power management technology. This simplifies your power management processes. And allows you to work with one expert company, delivering seamless continuity, from inception to installation and ongoing servicing.
Supplier-neutral expertise
Our experienced sales and engineering teams provide supplier-neutral expertise in product selection, specification and system design. Our project managers build trouble-free, integrated packages, incorporating MV switchgear from both major and niche manufacturers, ensuring that well-engineered and expertly commissioned products form the backbone of your power supply.
Value-added products
We add further value through complementary products, such as control room mimics and generator control systems integration, as part of a holistic solution.
AVK’s advanced switchgear solutions
-
11kV ‘primary’ switchgear
Air-insulated switchgear is an excellent choice, combining smooth and safe operation with maximum reliability, protection, and productivity. Whether you choose withdrawable, ‘demountable,’ or fixed pattern designs, we’ll guide you through the best options to deliver high performance and long life.
-
22kV and 33kV ‘primary’ switchgear
If your incoming utility supplies are distributed at 22kV or 33kV, our expert teams will work to select the right product and solutions set, utilising both air-insulated and gas-insulated, modified air or SF6 equipment. At 22kV and 33kV, gas-insulated switchgear designs offer significant space savings compared to air-insulated equipment, despite higher initial costs.
-
11kV ‘secondary’ switchgear
We provide a broad range of secondary ring main equipment from leading global suppliers, delivering solutions tailored to your project’s needs. Often used as isolators or circuit breakers on the incoming sides of LV package substations, our equipment covers indoor and outdoor applications with ratings up to 33kV, 630A, and 21kA.
They feature compact sizes, high functionality, reliability, and simple operation.

Protection relays
Protection relays are crucial for safeguarding life and property while maximising energy availability and profitability. They offer intuitive access to system information through continuous monitoring and diagnostic analysis. By specifying the best relay ranges on the market, we minimise risk and ensure that your electrical supply is quickly restored if issues arise.
