With the development of industrial technology, electrical control systems are becoming more and more common in the industrial field. The electrical control cabinet is the core component of the electrical control system, and whether its design is reasonable is related to the safety of the entire equipment.
In order to meet the manufacturing and use requirements of electrical control equipment, the following four steps of reasonable electrical control process design must be carried out.
understand The Craft
To design an electrical control cabinet, the first step is to understand the process and clarify the control logic. For example, if you design an 8100 one-to-many control cabinet, the required process is to work with one inverter to work with multiple water pumps. First, the frequency converter starts the 1# pump with frequency conversion. As the frequency increases, the pipeline pressure also increases. When the 1# pump reaches the maximum frequency and still cannot reach the target pressure, the system will switch the 1# pump to power frequency operation, and the inverter will switch to the 2# pump to start the 2# pump inverter, and so on.
Design Selection
After understanding the process, the next step is the selection of electrical components. The electrical components needed for the 8100 one-to-many control cabinet include: air switch, fuse, AC contactor, thermal relay, constant pressure water supply controller, switching power supply, etc. The rated capacity of the electrical components and the capacity of the wires are appropriately amplified according to the rated current of the water pump. For example, the rated current of the air switch is 1.5 times the rated current of the water pump.
Electrical Drawing Design
Electrical drawings include electrical schematic diagrams and electrical component layout diagrams.
Electrical schematic diagram: the purpose is to facilitate reading and analysis of control circuits, and should be drawn in the expanded form of electrical components based on the principles of simple structure and clear layers. It includes conductive parts and terminals of all electrical components, but is not drawn according to the actual arrangement of the electrical components, nor does it reflect the actual size of the electrical components. The electrical schematic diagram is generally divided into two parts: the main circuit and the auxiliary circuit (control circuit).
Electrical component layout: refers to the actual layout of electrical components in electrical equipment (reflecting the size of electrical components). Pay attention to the electrical layout:
- Separate strong and weak currents and pay attention to shielding to prevent external interference;
- The layout of electrical components should be neat and beautiful, and electrical components with similar dimensions and structures should be placed together;
- The electrical components should be arranged at a certain interval to facilitate heat dissipation.
Control Cabinet Wiring
- Use wire slots for wiring: When wiring through the wire slots, ensure that the joints between the wire slots are aligned, and try to avoid laying oblique wire slots;
- Fixed terminal block: The terminal block is generally arranged at the bottom of the control cabinet or console, and if there is a grounding copper strip, the grounding copper strip is installed at the bottom;
- Marking sleeve: for the same wire diameter, use the marking sleeve (special-shaped tube) with the same wire diameter to maintain the consistency of the text direction of all sleeves in a control cabinet, that is, the text on all horizontal and vertical sleeves The direction is the same, so that one is convenient to check the line, and the other is that it looks more regular.
Switchgear
The switch cabinet is a kind of electrical equipment. The outside line of the switch cabinet first enters the main control switch in the sheet metal fabrication cabinet, and then enters the sub-control switch. Each branch is set according to its needs. A combination of one or more low-voltage switchgear and related control, measurement, signal, protection, regulation, etc. equipment, all internal electrical and mechanical connections are completed by the manufacturer, and they are completely assembled together with structural components body. The main function of switchgear is to open and close, control and protect electrical equipment during the process of power generation, transmission, distribution and power conversion in the power system. The components in the switch cabinet are mainly composed of circuit breakers, disconnectors, load switches, operating mechanisms, transformers and various protection devices.
