What is a powerboard?
Protection equipment, steering equipment and other electrical parts are placed in a compartment called electrical panel. In addition to protecting the equipment against environmental factors, this enclosure also prevents damage caused by electric shock and possible explosions. Electrical panels can be divided into different categories based on application and dimensions.
Assembly of the powerboard
Assembling the electrical panel means the correct arrangement of electrical equipment in the panel. Assembling the electrical panel is a factor affecting:
How the system works: The closer the panel assembly is to the existing assembly standards, the higher the quality of the system performance, and on the other hand, it will be easier to diagnose and maintain the equipment.
Safety level: by assembling a standard panel, electric shocks and sparks caused by short circuits are significantly reduced and the safety level of people and equipment increases find.
product quality level: with Improving the performance level of the system and the regular operation of the equipment will ultimately produce a good quality product. To check how the equipment is arranged in the electrical panel, it is necessary to know the types of equipment in the panel.
Equipment used in a powerboard
Depending on the type of circuit (power or command), the equipment in the electrical panel can be different. But usually protective equipment, command equipment and warning equipment are among the most important equipment in the boards.
Protective equipment
One of the main necessary equipment in electrical panels is protective equipment. These equipments will cut off the circuit and prevent secondary damage to the system when problems such as short circuit, lack of voltage, etc. occur. Among the most important protective equipment, the following can be mentioned.
Command equipment
Connections
The connection between different equipment is usually done through cables and wires. To choose the wires and communication cables of the equipment, one should pay attention to their length and cross section. Another point in choosing wires and cables in the electrical panel is choosing the correct color and proper labeling for each wire. Observing these tips about wires and cables can help to standardize the arrangement of equipment.
Warning equipment
Warning devices are devices that announce errors through sound or light in case of problems and errors. Among the most important types of them, the following can be mentioned.
