Control Panel Boards

Electrical Control Panels for Monitoring Instruments in Electrical Industries Remember those colored buttons and screens than any typical layer 80 B den Villain? And how typical adorned bald scar bully would press the red button at the slightest hint of mad scientist Dr. X costume hair? Well, that is a control panel, a very good example indeed. In the simplest of words, a control panel (also known as electrical control panels, power distribution boards, service boards and panel -boards) is a horizontal or vertical flat surface covered by table control instruments or monitoring is used to supply power to the myriad of applications and equipment involved in power system or project. The control panel is seen in a variety of sizes, shapes and specifications cover a wide range of types. From a normal mechanical panel with a few buttons and screens and sound complex and intricate modern consoles - all fall into this category. DG Synchronizing Panel These panels are seen in almost all industries or where you are running any project. A major element is provided to keep track of the entire process in a single desktop. Originally, these panels are equipped with switches and buttons and other analogue instruments, but are now being replaced by touch screens and automated. It consists of a console capital and several sub panels, along with numerous lights. Fuses and circuit breakers are built into the console. In contemporary versions, transformers are omitted to facilitate the supply of current to less than the main supply voltage. This type of panel is very efficient, especially in situations where multiple computers with varied power requirements are amalgamated into a single circuit. Automatic Power Factor Correction Panel (APFC Panel) Even in this century, innovation and cutting-edge technology, a wide range of electrical control panels are available with a number of technical integrations and digital screens; a typical control panel consists of the following parts:


Housing - The outer cover which houses all the switches, screens and lights. It is generally made from plastic or metal coated with insulating paint, to eliminate all possibilities of short circuit or electric shock. Main Disconnect - A very integral part of any control panel, power control center switching the entire unit. Their role is vital in the event of a short circuit or overload. Electrical Bus Duct Circuit Breakers - As the main disconnect is on, the power flows through it several switches. These small components work by shooting automatically in case of power surge or fluctuation. Therefore, these devices eliminate the risk of excessive overheating of the unit which could lead to fire hazards. Today, it is almost mandatory that all electrical circuits’ panels available on the market are stamped QC passes by their respective manufacturers. However some of the factors you should check before buying can be summarized as: •

Resistance to changes in climate.

Safety standards.

Payload temperature controllers.

Quality of the switches.

Including voltmeter and the main switch fuse unit integrated.
