Our electrical panel design and implementation adhere to several standard requirements that must be taken into consideration and accommodated for:
Power and Protection Section (Conveying System Control and Power Panel):
- Panels must have a protection rating of at least IP-65, or higher if required.
- Designed with at least 25% additional space for future expansion.
- Under/over-voltage protection and reverse phase detection using protection relays.
- Local disconnect switch with lockout on the motor power cable feed.
- Proper spacing between components in accordance with manufacturer catalogues.
- Motors equipped with frequency drives to control speed, provide smooth start/stop, and protect the motor.
- Frequency drive protection in accordance with manufacturer recommendations.
- Emergency switches installed at two positions: start and end of the line.
- Emergency button installed on the door, clearly labeled, and easily reachable.
- All wires numbered with non-erasable labels.
- Power cable entry from underside of panel through cable glands.
Control and Automation Section:
- Schneider indication lamps: green (running) and red (fault/drive isolated or tripped).
- Schneider push buttons: start & stop system, plus emergency stop.
- Use of relays where required.
- Dedicated 24 VDC power supply for the control system.
- Legrand terminal fuses used in 24 VDC control circuits.
- PLC options: Siemens, Delta, or Allen Bradley (based on project requirements).
- Linking the control system to a SCADA system for remote monitoring and control.
- Possibility of upgrading control to wireless and internet-based operation.
- Integration of an interactive HMI screen on the control panel for easy operator use.
- Development of existing old production line controls, replacing them with modern, advanced systems.
