A switchgear having an electrified conductor accommodated in a tank in which insulating gas is contained includes a fixed contact connected to the electrified conductor, a movable contact installed to be contactable and separable to and from the fixed contact, an insulating rod that is externally extended from inside of the tank while being electrically insulated from the tank and turned by an operation device, and an insert that is extended from an end of the insulating rod toward the movable contact and is rotatably supported by a holding part installed in the electrified conductor. A flange part that is installed in the insert at a position where the holding part opposes the insulating rod and is extended in a substantially right-angle direction with respect to a direction of a rotation axis of the insulating rod is formed on the insert.
