Industrial Control Panel is an enclosure of more than two
power circuit components, control circuit components or a combination of both
that assistance in providing signals of the general function of the machinery.
Based on the National Electric Code, it incorporates switches, relays, auxiliary gadgets, motor controllers and other such control
gadgets. This flat, verticle equipment installed with the control
instrumentation is typically kept outside or in an enclosed area in industries
or factories. A panel enclosure is a crucial part as it secures the electrical
equipment with the surrounding pollutants offering it much better longevity.
These control panels
are of 2 kinds i.e. Closed and Open.
Open Panels: This
type of enclosures consists of internal wiring, field electrical wiring,
terminals and other components that are not enclosed. They are put visible and
is helpful when you need immediate shut-off.
Enclosed Panels:
All the components are closed to protect it from outside components like dust,
dirt and human contact. Generally, used in markets, these type of panels are
positioned far from human existence where all the components are intact.
Uses of the control panel
It safeguards from dirt, dust and other natural conditions.
All the components are systematically placed in one panel
wired and organized effectively that makes it easy to manage and monitor.
It is a total control solution that can be put in a
particular panel.
A control panel is utilized in markets, nuclear power plants,
ships, aircraft and also to keep an eye on and control makers. Maintaining
these control panels is a must as it ensures better performance of equipment
and lowers chances of human errors or mishaps.
Prior to introducing a real item, it is extremely essential
to plan out a layout to improve its functions and deal with improvising it
more.
Control Panel Design:
Things to be kept in mind
The style of the control panel holds utmost significance as
it assists in controlling the device or procedure. Hence, today we have an
interface that has made work much faster and easier. Control panel functions as
a shield that secures electrical hardware. Proper placement of industrial
enclosures is likewise really crucial.
The hardware must be mounted on a back panel and properly
wired into the maker. Prior to beginning the design, completely examine the
specifications, requirements and regulatory standards. Putting safety
measurements in your design layout will offer an in-depth outline of the final
control panel.
Things to keep in
mind while creating a control panel
Select the enclosure according to the environment of the
industry.
The enclosure size requires to be figured out effectively.
Enable adequate space for positioning and appropriate
wiring.
Make certain you add adequate receptacles at specific
locations.
Place it in a confined room with sufficient area, for less
maintenance.
Calculate the dimensions and swing plans of enclosure doors.
