Abstract	The Brazilian petroleum and chemical industry had basically used medium-voltage (MV) power assemblies based on ANSI/NEMA for many years. However, in the last three decades, due to the Brazilian Standard Association orientation, the users and manufacturers have been changing their philosophies to the IEC culture. As there has been an everyday increase in the opportunity and also in the need of MV electrical power distribution in petrochemical facilities, there is the chance of adopting an MV switchgear or controlgear design based on ANSI or IEC standards, according to each plant specifications. Although the use and design of MV assemblies are based on the electric power system needs and characteristics, they are also a result of the current scenario and experience of a specific petrochemical facility. Since both ANSI and IEC universes have strong experience, knowledge, and huge safety concerns in electrical equipment design and application, the final choice is an interesting decision. It is important to keep in mind that the use of MV assemblies has to face technical and safety key issues as they are connected to an industrial power system, and both ANSI and IEC deal with such requirements very carefully: each one in its own way. This paper deals with impacting topics related to MV switchgear and controlgear such as the following: 1) ANSI and IEC requirements; 2) rated values and characteristics; 3) ancillary and power equipment application; 4) safety; and 5) ergonomics.
