Uretse imikorere itandukanye, imiterere y’aho bashyiramo, imiterere y’imbere, ibintu bigenzurwa, nibindi, udusanduku two gukwirakwizamo ibikoresho n’utubati two gusimbuza ibikoresho bitandukanye bitewe n’ingano zitandukanye. Agasanduku ko gusimbuza ibikoresho ni gato kandi gashobora kwihisha mu rukuta cyangwa guhagarara hasi. Ariko, akabati ko gusimbuza ibikoresho ni kanini kandi gashyirwa gusa mu cyumba cyo gusimbuza ibikoresho n’icyumba cyo gusimbuza ibikoresho by’amashanyarazi.
Akabati k'imashini ihindura amashanyarazi ni ubwoko bw'ibikoresho by'amashanyarazi. Umurongo w'inyuma w'akabati k'imashini ihindura amashanyarazi ubanza kwinjira mu kabati k'imashini igenzura amashanyarazi, hanyuma ukinjira mu kabati k'imashini ihindura amashanyarazi, kandi buri shami rishyirwaho hakurikijwe ibyo rikeneye. Nk'ibikoresho, kugenzura byikora, gusimbuza moteri, contactor zitandukanye za AC, nibindi, bimwe bifite kandi ububiko bw'ibikoresho bifite amashanyarazi menshi n'ibikoresho bifite amashanyarazi make, ibyuma bifite amashanyarazi menshi, nk'inganda z'amashanyarazi, nibindi, kandi bimwe bifite uburinzi buke ku bikoresho bikuru.
Akamaro k'ingenzi k'iyi switchgear ni ugufungura no gufunga, kugenzura no kurinda ibikoresho by'amashanyarazi mu gihe cyo gutanga amashanyarazi, kohereza, gukwirakwiza no guhindura ingufu z'amashanyarazi muri sisitemu y'amashanyarazi. Ibice biri mu kabati k'imashini bigizwe ahanini n'ibice bigabanya amashanyarazi, ibicaniro byo kwitandukanya, ibicaniro byo gushyiramo amashanyarazi, uburyo bwo gukora, inductors zihuza, n'ibikoresho bitandukanye byo kurinda. Hari uburyo bwinshi bwo gushyiramo switchgear mu byiciro. Urugero, uburyo bwo gushyiraho circuit breaker bushobora kugabanywamo switchgear ishobora gukurwaho n'ibicaniro bihoraho; cyangwa hakurikijwe imiterere itandukanye y'akabati, ishobora kugabanywamo switchgear ifunguye, switchgear ifungishijwe ibyuma, n'ibicaniro by'icyuma bifungishijwe ibyuma; hakurikijwe urwego rutandukanye rw'amashanyarazi, ishobora kugabanywamo switchgear ifite amashanyarazi menshi, switchgear iciriritse n'ibicaniro bifite amashanyarazi make. Ikwiriye cyane cyane mu bihe bitandukanye nko mu nganda z'amashanyarazi, sitasiyo nto, peteroli, ibyuma bizunguruka, inganda n'imyenda byoroheje, inganda n'ibigo by'ubucukuzi bw'amabuye y'agaciro, amazu yo guturamo, n'inyubako ndende.
Akabati gakwirakwiza ingufu (agasanduku) kagabanyijemo akabati gakwirakwiza ingufu (agasanduku), akabati gakwirakwiza amatara (agasanduku), n'akabati gapima (agasanduku). Ni byo bikoresho bya nyuma bya sisitemu yo gukwirakwiza ingufu. Akabati gakwirakwiza ingufu ni ijambo rusange ry'ikigo gishinzwe kugenzura moteri. Akabati gakwirakwiza ingufu gakoreshwa mu bihe aho umutwaro ukwirakwira cyane kandi hari imiyoboro mike; ikigo gishinzwe kugenzura moteri gikoreshwa mu bihe aho umutwaro wiyongera kandi hari imiyoboro myinshi. Bakwirakwiza ingufu z'amashanyarazi z'uruziga runaka rw'ibikoresho byo gukwirakwiza ingufu byo ku rwego rwo hejuru ku mutwaro uri hafi aho. Uru rwego rw'ibikoresho rugomba gutanga uburinzi, gukurikirana no kugenzura umutwaro.
Ku buryo bukurikiranye, yerekeza ku bikoresho bya nyuma bya sisitemu yo gukwirakwiza amashanyarazi nk'utubati dukwirakwiza amashanyarazi, utubati dukwirakwiza amatara, n'utubati two gupima.
