（1）固定面(mian)板(ban)式开(kai)关柜，常称开(kai)关板(ban)或配电(dian)屏。它是(shi)一种有面(mian)板(ban)遮拦(lan)的敞(chang)开(kai)式开(kai)关柜，正面(mian)有防(fang)护效(xiao)果，反面(mian)和旁边面(mian)仍(reng)能(neng)触及带电(dian)部分，防(fang)护等级低，只能(neng)用于对供(gong)电(dian)连续性和牢靠(kao)性要求(qiu)较低的工矿企业(ye)，作变电(dian)室(shi)集中供(gong)电(dian)用。

（2）防(fang)(fang)护式（即(ji)关(guan)(guan)(guan)闭(bi)(bi)式）开(kai)关(guan)(guan)(guan)柜(ju)，指(zhi)除安装(zhuang)面(mian)外，其它(ta)所有旁(pang)边面(mian)都(dou)被关(guan)(guan)(guan)闭(bi)(bi)起(qi)来的(de)(de)一种(zhong)低压开(kai)关(guan)(guan)(guan)柜(ju)。这种(zhong)柜(ju)子的(de)(de)开(kai)关(guan)(guan)(guan)、保护和监(jian)测操(cao)控等(deng)电(dian)(dian)气(qi)元件(jian)，均安装(zhuang)在一个(ge)用(yong)钢或绝(jue)(jue)缘(yuan)材料制成的(de)(de)关(guan)(guan)(guan)闭(bi)(bi)外壳内，牢(lao)靠墙或离墙安装(zhuang)。柜(ju)内每条(tiao)回路之间可以不加阻隔办法，也可以选用(yong)接地(di)的(de)(de)金属(shu)板(ban)或绝(jue)(jue)缘(yuan)板(ban)进(jin)行(xing)阻隔。通常(chang)门与主(zhu)(zhu)开(kai)关(guan)(guan)(guan)操(cao)作有机械联锁。另外还有防(fang)(fang)护式台型开(kai)关(guan)(guan)(guan)柜(ju)（即(ji)操(cao)控台），面(mian)板(ban)上装(zhuang)有操(cao)控、测量、信号等(deng)电(dian)(dian)器。防(fang)(fang)护式开(kai)关(guan)(guan)(guan)柜(ju)主(zhu)(zhu)要用(yong)作工艺现场的(de)(de)配电(dian)(dian)装(zhuang)置。

（3）抽(chou)屉式开(kai)关(guan)柜(ju)(ju)。这类(lei)开(kai)关(guan)柜(ju)(ju)选(xuan)用钢板(ban)制成(cheng)关(guan)闭外壳，进出线(xian)(xian)(xian)回路的电(dian)(dian)(dian)器元(yuan)(yuan)件都安(an)(an)装在可抽(chou)出的抽(chou)屉中，构成(cheng)能完结某(mou)一类(lei)供电(dian)(dian)(dian)任(ren)务的功(gong)(gong)用单(dan)元(yuan)(yuan)。功(gong)(gong)用单(dan)元(yuan)(yuan)与(yu)母线(xian)(xian)(xian)或电(dian)(dian)(dian)缆之间，用接地的金属(shu)板(ban)或塑料制成(cheng)的功(gong)(gong)用板(ban)离隔(ge)，形(xing)成(cheng)母线(xian)(xian)(xian)、功(gong)(gong)用单(dan)元(yuan)(yuan)和电(dian)(dian)(dian)缆三个区域。每个功(gong)(gong)用单(dan)元(yuan)(yuan)之间也有阻隔(ge)办法。抽(chou)屉式开(kai)关(guan)柜(ju)(ju)有较(jiao)高(gao)(gao)的牢靠性(xing)(xing)(xing)、安(an)(an)全性(xing)(xing)(xing)和互换性(xing)(xing)(xing)，是比较(jiao)优良的开(kai)关(guan)柜(ju)(ju)，开(kai)关(guan)柜(ju)(ju)多数(shu)是指抽(chou)屉式开(kai)关(guan)柜(ju)(ju)。它(ta)们适用于要求供电(dian)(dian)(dian)牢靠性(xing)(xing)(xing)较(jiao)高(gao)(gao)的工(gong)矿(kuang)企业(ye)、高(gao)(gao)层建(jian)筑(zhu)，作为集中操控(kong)的配电(dian)(dian)(dian)中心。

（4）动力、照明配电操控箱。多为关闭(bi)式(shi)笔直安(an)装。因运用场合不同(tong)，外壳防(fang)护等级也不同(tong)。它们主(zhu)要作为工矿企业出产现场的配电装置。
