What are the classifications of electrical control cabinets

There are many ways to classify Electrical Control Cabinets, which can be divided according to different standards and application requirements.

Here are some of the main categories:

Classification by voltage level:

Low-voltage electrical control cabinets: Used to control low-voltage equipment such as motors, lighting and automation systems.

Medium voltage electrical control cabinet: Used to control medium voltage Electrical Equipment, such as transformers, generators and power transmission equipment

Classification by use:

Main distribution cabinet: Receives power from the power supply and distributes it to various electrical equipment, including circuit breakers, contactors, fuses and other components.

Control cabinet: used to control the operation of electrical equipment, including buttons, switches, relays and other control components.

Drive cabinet: Used to drive motors or other actuators.

Instrument cabinet: Used to monitor and control temperature, pressure, flow and other parameters in industrial processes.

Terminal box: Used to connect the terminal device to the control system.

Special electrical control cabinet: customized according to specific application requirements, such as fire control cabinet, explosion-proof control cabinet, etc.

Classification by structure:

Fixed panel type switchgear: open-type switchgear with panel shielding, suitable for industrial and mining enterprises with low protection level.

Protected (enclosed) switchgear: All sides are closed except the mounting surface, and the internal components are installed in a closed housing.

Drawer switchgear: The electrical components of the inlet and outlet circuit are installed in a withdrawable drawer for easy maintenance and expansion. Suzhou Huapujie Electric has the certificate of MNS drawer type switch cabinet, safe and reliable.

Classification by control mode:

Traditional relay control cabinet: through hardware wiring to achieve control, the operation is relatively complex.

PLC integrated electrical control cabinet: Use programmable logic controller (PLC) for automatic control, flexible operation and easy maintenance.

By application field:

Industrial automation control cabinet: suitable for various industrial automation control occasions, such as manufacturing, water treatment, etc. 9.

Power transmission control cabinet: used for power transmission and distribution, including transformers, switchgear, etc.

Lighting control cabinet: Used to control the lighting system, including street lights, indoor lighting, etc.

When selecting an electrical control cabinet, it is necessary to comprehensively consider many factors such as actual application requirements, voltage level, control mode, etc., to ensure that the most suitable type of control cabinet is selected.
