What is GCS Switchgear?
Modular withdrawable LV switchgear designed for maximum flexibility and easy maintenance
GCS Low Voltage Withdrawable Switchgear is a state-of-the-art power distribution solution featuring a modular drawer-type design. Each functional unit can be easily withdrawn for maintenance, repair, or replacement — minimizing downtime and reducing operational costs.
Manufactured by GOHO Electric in compliance with IEC 61439-2 standards, GCS switchgear is suitable for AC 50/60Hz power systems with rated voltage up to 660V and rated current up to 4000A. It is widely used in industrial plants, commercial buildings, data centers, and infrastructure projects.
- Withdrawable drawer design — each unit can be pulled out for maintenance without shutting down the entire system
- Modular configuration — flexible combination of feeder, incoming, and metering units
- High short-circuit capacity — up to 50kA short-time withstand current
- Fast on-site repairs — swap faulty drawers in minutes, not hours
- Compact footprint — space-saving design ideal for data centers and tight installations

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about GCS low voltage withdrawable switchgear
The main difference is that GCS uses a withdrawable drawer design while GGD is fixed-type. GCS allows individual circuit drawers to be removed and replaced without shutting down the entire system, making maintenance faster and downtime shorter. GGD is more economical and simpler, ideal for applications where frequent maintenance is not required. GCS also has higher short-circuit capacity ratings and more flexible configuration options.
A standard GCS cabinet (2200mm height) can accommodate up to 22-30 drawer units depending on the drawer size. Drawers come in different heights: 1/4 unit, 1/2 unit, 1 unit, 2 units, and 3 units. A typical configuration might include 8-12 feeder drawers plus an incoming section. The exact number depends on your specific requirements for current ratings and number of outgoing circuits.
Yes, absolutely. GOHO Electric provides full customization including: cabinet dimensions, number and rating of circuits, choice of circuit breaker brands (ABB, Schneider, Siemens, Chint, Delixi), metering options, power factor correction integration, smart monitoring systems, and special protection features. Send us your single-line diagram or specification and our engineering team will design a tailored solution.
Standard GCS switchgear typically ships within 15-25 working days from order confirmation. Custom configurations with special components may take 20-35 working days. For urgent projects, we offer expedited production with 10-15 day delivery at a small premium. Contact our sales team with your project timeline and we will confirm the exact delivery schedule.
Yes, GOHO Electric offers optional on-site installation guidance and commissioning support. Our engineers can supervise installation, perform pre-energization testing, and provide operator training. For international projects, we can also provide remote video support and detailed installation manuals. Each unit comes with comprehensive documentation including wiring diagrams, test reports, and operation manuals.
