What is a control panel and why do we use them?
First let’s talk about the basic layout of a panel and why we locate items where we do.
- Many different ways to layout a panel
- Airflow
- Safety
- Field wiring, where do wires enter the panel?
Let’s go over all the components in the panel and what their intended purpose is.
- Enclosure and Backplate
- Main Circuit Breaker
- Branch Circuit Breaker
- Surge Suppressor - Protects against lighting and power surge
- AC Power distribution
- Power Supply - Converts one form of power to another
- DC Power Distribution
- Ethernet Switch - It allows several different devices within the cabinet to communicate with one another
- Radio - Industrial radio that is paired with a polyphaser (which protects the radio and internal panel hardware from lighting strikes) and an antenna ( to enable communication to other sites). Only used in cases where the panel cannot communicate locally via ethernet cable.
- PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) - This is the brains of the operations. It sends and receives data from all the different inputs and outputs its connected to. It then interprets that data and communicates it into values that we can understand.
- HMI (Human Machine Interface) - Allows us a way to view and interact with the data being collected by the PLC. Commonly mounted on the front of the panel.
- IO - Analog vs Digital signals. Digital Inputs and Outputs
- Relays - Why do we use relays for digital outs? Can be used for many other purposes.
- Wire Duct and Dinrail

It would be great if you could make a wiring diagram tutorial aswell, would apreciate it very much!

@bladder1010 6 лет назад

I could only wish that the stuff I have to work on were as neatly laid out and tidy as this. Very good video.

@RSPSupply 6 лет назад

Thank you! We really appreciate the feedback.

@MrRayyyyyyyyy 6 лет назад

Dude I know what you mean.

@philip6508 5 лет назад

LOL! The rats nest is usually found under the wire duct covers because the schematic is missing and is no longer accurate anyway!!! Every time you power up the panel, all the office toilets flush! The third shift tech, who was troubleshooting the radio section just left for a 3 week vacation and his pass down notes don't make sense. The CEO's inspection tour starts in 30 minutes... MAN I LOVE(D) MY JOB! I've been downsized to a maintenance helper in a place where maintenance means cleaning - possibly even toilets.

@justinj1790 5 лет назад

Oh yeah, the panels I look at are nothing near as neat as that.

@jopflah416 5 лет назад

I used to build electrical control panels, painted the enclosures, laid out, mounted and wired the components and then tested the entire panel. Moved on to programming and selling PLC's. Have to say building the panels was the more enjoyable part.

@erickenny82 29 дней назад

I really wish more tech schools would teach this way. I went through 2 years of TSTC , and graduated, and it was never presented to me in such a straightforward way.

@mathewgomwe6251 2 года назад

got a new job,and you just saved my career man..Thank you

@seminolerick6845 4 года назад

I worked in manufacturing for decades. This was WELL explained without the need of getting into in depth analysis of each component. Young folks should consider this well paid, blue collar profession... building panels, or connecting them to machinery , or interfacing/ programming to use with other panels & computers.

@michaelb9664 4 года назад

ReadyTo SaveIt having been a panel wiremen for 20 years, I’m afraid I don’t share your enthusiasm. Good panel builders are a dying breed. The work here in the UK is mostly under paid considering the skill and qualification level required to be truly competent. I’m lucky that for the past 10 years I’ve worked at a place that does pay well, but this incredibly rare where I live. Most of this work is on a temporary unstable basis and underpaid. I certainly wouldn’t recommend any young up and coming people to consider this as a career. At least not where I live in the UK.

@matthelms7846 3 года назад

Thank you for that, trying to advance in this field and that helped tremendously

@offspringfan1288 3 года назад

Same here. I started working plant maintenance 1 year ago, have learned a lot in the past year but the electrical issues I run into troubleshooting is the one that I’m not familiar with. Just enrolled in tech school to start Industrial Electricity courses though.

@matthelms7846 3 года назад

@@offspringfan1288 good deal, i started going to tech school for electrical last year as well. It's a great choice to make and good luck!

@frankreiserm.s.8039 5 лет назад

Thank you for your videos. Because I watched them, I was able to intelligently answer questions about this topic at a job interview. I got the job on the spot for $40,000/year. They opened 430V, three-phase panels and had me explain them as part of the verbal test. I passed. No more repairing TVs for me. This will be the first full time, professional job that I have had since 2001. Frank

@Imufur 5 лет назад

finally someone that explain this, I started an industrial maintenance course but everyone except me seems to already know electrical mumbo jumbo so i am desperately trying to catch up

@seminolerick6845 4 года назад

Imufur Indeed, he does an excellent job at the Introductory level... almost a "sales pitch" to get you interested, without bogging all down in details. There IS much to learn, depending on what level you will work with in the building, installation & maintenence of these panels. A basics of electricity course, shops skills level (drilling,tapping holes etc) , and wiring diagram reading and documentation of , might be the next series of learning courses for you. A good "hands on" mentor, is invaluable if you can latch onto one. Good luck !

@someguy9431 5 лет назад

Very good video. Best yet I've found. I work in an industrial plant and was "thrown into" this sort of electrical stuff. I started as a contractor on site doing HVAC work. So I am "reverse engineering" my knowledge, so to speak, of the stuff upstream of the machine. This helped.

@terriblelottery 5 лет назад

wow its actually really cool for you to be given that position. Hope they gave you a raise in pay for it. I want to do this type of work in the future.

@ben2687 3 года назад

🤯 LOL. I need to get better at this stuff. Thanks for showing it, rather than a diagram. For some reason this make so much more sense to me than diagrams.

I learned a lot Watching your videos thank you so much .in my previous job I used to assemble Flow meters where i connect and wire different type of components now the company moved out and had to look for another Job anyhow i found a great Job doing this in the begging they didn't have too much trust on my because I'm a woman but i teach them that i could do the Job sometimes they send me out of the country because I'm bilingual i speak Spanish i enjoy working with panels

@caifascruz6993 5 лет назад

Great video explained, I only have one concerned.... at minute 1:26 this guy is explaining something about the source suppressor that it's fine. Buuut....... why the outlet at the left size as been mark with "5A max", if the outlet is basically and normalized for 20 A??? What kind of outlet is that??? Or where do that sell those @RSP Supply ? Here at USA don't have those if this (the outlet) is a 5A; have a great day....

@punkdevito 6 лет назад

I have to work on this shit everyday. Finding problems in these type of control panels can be very frustrating. I had to teach myself being a industrial mechanic.

@mattd1496 6 лет назад

being an industrial "mechanic" or an electrician?

@punkdevito 6 лет назад

Matt D as a mechanic. We work on all parts of the machines. Electrical, mechanical, General maitence, welding, and gas or plumbing to big machines.

@mattd1496 6 лет назад

punkdevito If you can work on mechanical, electrical, welding, plumbing, etc part for the industries then you are not just a simple mechanic or electrician, you are a general technician.

Why has this stuff not moved into residential use?

@melvin292 6 лет назад

In an introduction such as this, you need to tell the viewer this is process control instrumentation. Is the the enclosure nema rated, manufactured by Hoffman or custom made? A little more detail would still be bite size chewable.

@RSPSupply 6 лет назад

Hi Melvin, Thanks for the feedback. We will have other videos soon with much more detail on Industrial Control Panels. The NEMA rating depends on location the enclosure will be used. For outdoor we suggest at least a NEMA 4 rating and indoor can be a NEMA 1, 12, or 4 rating. For more corrosive environments use a NEMA 4X. Hoffman in probably the most used in the US but any enclosure can be used as long as the NEMA rating fits the environment.

@jeffreyhueseman7061 6 лет назад

Looking at the panel, my guess would be Nema 4 or 12.

@johnschroeder3072 6 лет назад

Is there any reason why the main breaker and Surge arrestor are upside down?

@RSPSupply 6 лет назад

We do that because of the wiring. The breaker is right side up but you are right that the surge protection is upside down. The input and outputs are opposite of the other components and we want all the input wires to come in from the same direction.

@johnschroeder3072 6 лет назад

Yeah I had a closer look after I wrote that comment and realised that the breaker was up the right way. Though those surge arresters as far as I know don't matter which way up they go (except maybe the earth only on one end?) as I think they are just a pair of MOV's.
