The electric control cabinet put all electric equipment into a closed or semi-closed cabinet, and then place the status display and control buttons of each equipment on the surface of the cabinet. The electric control cabinet can greatly improve the stability, safety, expansibility, and anti-interference ability of the electric equipment. The electric control cabinet can also greatly reduce the safety risks of maintenance and operating personnel, and improve the convenience of their operation and maintenance.
Control cabinets perform many other important functions, including:
supply power to the equipment;
control the start-up and operation of equipment and systems;
allow complex electronic apparatus to be organised and structured;
protect against unauthorised access to the apparatus.
Wiring of Cabinet
The wiring design of a cabinet is the most intricate aspect of its manufacturing. This design comprises not only power cables and signal lines, but also other devices to ensure safety and efficiency.
Terminals: Offer a safe and efficient way of connecting devices.
Fuses/Circuit Breakers: Ensure the safety of devices by cutting off power if current is excess.
Grounding: Provides a path for current to flow when there is an electrical fault.
Enclosure: Prevents accidental contact between equipment and users.
