Rittal electrical panels are widely used in the electrical industry. These switchboards are used for industrial centers, workshops, factories, and places where there is little space and power for consumers. This industrial switchboard is very similar to the Sivacon switchboard, but the assembly of the switchboard is relatively It is very simple to this board and only a few separate cells are connected together. Inside the industrial electrical board housing, electrical or electronic equipment such as switches, knobs and displays are regularly placed in insulated rows; Therefore, the operator can easily control, repair and replace them.
Applications of Industrial Power Panel
Preventing electric shock and electrocution of people
Protecting your equipment and internal parts from atmospheric factors such as wind, rain and snow
Equal distribution of electricity between equipment and parts
Production and distribution and the conversion of electrical energy between different equipment
because it has fuses and circuit breakers, it prevents leakage of electrical current.

Types of Industrial Electricity
Metal Enclosed Panels: These panels have a metal enclosure inside which all electrical equipment including switches, current and voltage transformers, measuring devices, busbars are installed. Metal Enclosed panels are divided into two categories: Metal Clad Panels and Compartment Type Panels. They have so that when a fault occurs in one compartment, the other compartments are not damaged and do not suffer from an error.
Compartment Type Panels: These panels are another type of Metal Enclose switchboards that Unlike industrial switchboards, Metal Clad enclosures In them, they are connected and not separated from each other.
Withdrawable switchboard: Retractable switchboard is usually used to control motors and is safe. They have more and more convenient service.
Rack switchboards: The shape of the rack switchboard compartment is a shelf and the place to install all kinds of control, telecommunications, size There is an electronic switch on this electrical panel.
Electrical panel Swing: This industrial switchboard model is a rack-type switchboard and has a high price due to its movable glass door. It is visible behind the equipment in the Swing switchboard and it is easy to access them.
Internal equipment of industrial electrical panel
Contactor: One of the electrical switching parts in panels are contactors, whose main task is to disconnect and connect the circuit mechanically. These equipments are connected and integrated in terms of structure and are similar to relays to a great extent, but you should note that contactors are generally used for devices that are started with high voltage.
Relays: If an error occurs due to various factors, relays are used to send the command to cut off and connect the current; Different relay models include phase control relay, load control relay, time relay or timer.
Different keys: In the industrial switchboard, there are various keys such as selector keys, roller keys, push button switches. There are microswitches, floater switches. These switches are also from the category of mechanical circuit disconnecting and connecting equipment, which, if open, can disconnect the circuit according to the defined need. In the context of the operation of the isolating switches, it is better to know that they will be able to disconnect and connect the circuit only if they are completely unloaded or if a small amount of current passes through them. Also, if there is an electric arc, no special action mechanism is considered to turn off the arc, so you cannot use these keys to connect and disconnect the circuit while the device is on.
< p>Measuring equipment: parts such as ammeter, voltmeter, wattmeter, frequency meter, cosine meter are used to calculate variable parameters in industrial switchboards.Body: The body of the switchboard An industry is made of different materials and includes all its components and equipment.
Communications: Devices such as cables, wires and busbars in the electrical panel to connect different parts to each other are used.
MCCB or automatic switches: In the industrial switchboard, there is a very useful and important switch called the compact switch, which can be used to control the current Both in normal and abnormal conditions (such as connection short) mechanically disconnected and reconnected.
MCB or miniature switches: Miniature switches are automatic operating equipment, usually in two types: non-metallic for additional current, and magnetic for direction Short circuit are used. The function of these switches is similar to MCCBs, whose presence will protect the circuit from any overcurrent or short circuit. Life-saving switches: This switch, as its name suggests, It is also known, it has a protective role in electric and electrical systems and is considered a group of MCCB switches. Protection of electric motors is designed and installed. In fact, these equipments protect the engine when it heats up and prevent it from causing any damage. Also known as a thumb, it is the part that allows you to turn the current on and off with the help of an external force such as finger pressure and hand force. These parts are one of the most important parts of the industrial switchboard, which are usually designed and produced in 3 types: stop, start and start/stop.
Controller systems or PLC: As you know, switchboards are considered as practical equipment for electricity distribution, the presence of PLC or control systems in them allows us to easily control the ongoing processes.
Types of industrial electrical panel time
Analog timers: This model does not display the elapsed time, but with the help of an indicator the timer status is specified for the operator.
Digital timer: This The timers are more accurate compared to the previous types and it is possible to view the elapsed and set time.
Restart timers: These timers have a protective function and are in 2 modes of interruption and delay in connection. it works do These timers are connected after the set time has passed and after a few seconds of being connected, they are deactivated again. It is used to turn the engine and with the help of the output relay, they control the ability to control the left or right movement of the engine automatically.
Command clock timers: This timer is used to perform repetitive tasks at certain time intervals. Used that the ability to issue The command will be daily, weekly and even monthly.
Star triangle timers: These timers can be used to start the engine and switch star to triangle mode.
Timers Versatile: If the timers introduced above are not applicable to announce the set status, it is suggested to use versatile timers.
In what places are the small industrial electricity panel used?
In addition to the fact that the price of a small industrial switchboard, like the price of a small three-phase industrial switchboard, is lower than other types of switchboards, the place where they should be installed must also be special. Small boards can usually be used in industrial workshops where there are not many machines or in commercial places where there are not many users. Less electricity flows through these panels. Therefore, its parts are designed and selected in such a way that they can withstand the same amount of current.
What is the material of industrial electricity?
Materials of the body of the metal industrial electrical switchboard: The metal body of these switchboards is painted with electrostatic paint, and in the construction of some of them, galvanized sheet is used. Line panels are suitable for installation in outdoor environments where the panel is exposed to atmospheric factors. The disadvantage of metal industrial switchboards is that due to the conductivity of metal, there is a high possibility of electrocution. Also, it has little security during a fire and cannot survive against a robot for a long time, for example 10 years. The metal is flexible and the housing of the switchboard can be made in different sizes.
Materials of the body of the composite switchboard: The material of the composite switchboard is made of a combination of glass fibers and thermoset resin. It also has high safety, strength and durability. Among the advantages of this body, it can be mentioned that it is anti-UV, anti-rust and corrosion, high strength, fireproof, long life and electrical insulation. This electrical panel has a lifespan of more than 30 years and is suitable for outdoor environments; Therefore, it is an excellent alternative to electrical panels with a metal body.
Electrical panels with a polycarbonate body: These electrical panels are made of a combination of thermoplastic resins and carbon fibers. and due to their fragility against the sun's rays, they are not suitable for installation in outdoor environments. Also, polycarbonate industrial switchboard does not have a good resistance to fire.
