Introduction to UL 508A Industrial Electrical Control Panels with PLC 

This is what Ive been waiting for. Looking forward to this series.

you probably have the best presentation so far. good stuff. will be watching the entire series.

love it! do more of these!!

I work for Prime Controls in Dallas and really enjoy your videos!

Thank you so much Tim! I just love watching yours video!

I would like to question the spacing requirements for your components. UL got me with that on my first panel that got inspected. Typically a power supply, especially ones that convert 3 phase into 24vdc require at least about 1.5 inches above and below. It does not look like those requirements have been met. Love your videos man. Great content. Would love to ve able to bounce automation ideas back and forth.

I like that your disconnect handle will literally cover an inch of your HMI when you turn it on with the door closed.

wonderful, I liked your all playlist and save in library and subscribed before your promotional words :)

great way of teatching thank you from Morocco.

Many thanks from the UK.

Much appreciated Tim

Thanks from New Orleans!!

Awesome vid Tim....Thanks

Nice job with the ferrules.

Good video' I want to learn this tips.

Hi Tim, Thanks a lot for all the tutorial videos. I learned a lot by following your tutorials really appreciate that. Is there any video about calculating the total load of the whole control panel by going to each components? I'm trying to get that for my application in order to size a step down transformer and a safety disconnect switch. Thanks a lot!!!

Nice video Tim! Can you talk about the wire color coding when building a panel? I can't find much information for the color coding for such as AC voltage, DC voltage and etc. Thank you!

I really enjoy this video break down in easy terms to understand. I would like to see in one of your videos how and why you choose the panel lay out you did. Like which components can be next to one another and how you have to be careful about wiring crossing each other (high voltage/low voltage)

Hey Tim! Have you done any videos yet going over how to calculate SCCR?

I watched the "hater" episode. I like how you were accused of selling yourself for AB when in reality most things you have in your videos is AD stuff. That's a testament to an untrained eye. Minus maybe the PLC! I'm pretty sure I even saw a DL05 in there somewhere. Personally I'd rather use the DoMore! in one of it's various form factors, or I hate to say it, a Micro800 of some sort for simple applications. (although you absolutely should hard code you're variables in those as they have a tendency to go brain dead for no reason!) The Click! isn't much more reliable, but it is cheaper. Both software's are free. (At least the non-developer edition for the AB) Anyway, I like you're series, you are a pioneer in the socialization of the field. WE NEED MORE CONTROLS GUYS, people don't understand how fun this stuff is! I almost want to keep it a secret, or everybody will want to do it!

Just wanted to let you know that I found your youtube channel from Linkedin and Jake Hall!

Is there a list of labels that are required by UL for ICP's? For instance "to maintain overcurrent protection...."

Hey Tim, Do you through bolt your components to your back plane or drill and tap?

I always leave the space above disconnect open. Thought it was code back in 90s??

Can you use MTW 16 or 18 AWG wire inside control panels for the control wiring to save on money for wire as long as the proper fuse size is chosen? I read somewhere that UL508a says only 20 AWG or smaller wire has special requirements limited to PLC connections only.

Hi Tim, great series! I noticed one thing in particular that surprised me, you don't label your panel components, why is that? Also I live in Canada and this may just be a difference in code requirements but I also noticed no fuse charts on the door, are you guys not required?

Hi Tim. Thanks for your videos. I have a question about UL508 wire colors. Can you please provide some basic info on recommended AC & DC wire color guidelines. Also, what format do you use for your wire numbers? Thanks.

What kind of license/permit/certification do I need to do this kind of job and being certified by UL?

Hi Tim,great videos..i really like that disconnect switch what brand and or PN is it?

How do you make the label for the outside of the panel is this special software ?

I have main ac panel ,ac distribution junction box.in ac panel we have main mccb(earth protection) for on-off, Ac distribution Power cable taken from Ac panel main circuit breaker control. Is this needed any separate mccb for ac distributions box .(in ac distribution box we have 30 MCB,30ssr,two controller).

Hello, I don’t find wiring diagram on video description

Hi, I dont see schematics in description to download. Is it removed?

I don't see the wiring diagram, I'm still a nube and I like following those for practice. I love this channel though!

Would products certified only to the UL508a standard be accepted in Canada?

Where can I get that enclosure?

Din is an acronym which translates to "german industrial norm" which is basically the german iso. There many more din norms than just those rails.

I don't see a grounding lug for the incoming power.

sir pls make videos over VFDs

please am from Ghana how can I buy a micrologic 1100 or 1000. I have been searching since in my area but can't find one

Good afternoon, I’m about to start classes to be a ul 508a Mtr. Do have any advice and recommendations of books I should have? Thanknyou

Iwant take online course so how to take?

Do you still have classes? Where are you located?

what is standard of wire color sir?

Where's your overcurrent protection (fuses)????

What!? I like the beard.

Is grounding important? 🤣😂

"Does it need a label?" Can you just say yes next time?

Hi Tim, I have a computer science degree and a minor in electronics, I became an electrical contractor while studying. I did an online PLC basics certification. I am thinking of doing the PLC II which covers Rockwell 5000 series, SCADA, DCS etc. My question you you is what else do I need to get enough knowledge and experience to start offering my services for the automation industry specifically, PLCs, scada, MES, and ERP integration?
