Electricity is the lifeline of any industry. Without its even and proper distribution, machines can’t work and once again we will go back to the ancient and the medieval age. Whenever we see the images, where people making use of the candles in primitive times, a feeling pops up in our mind that we are far ahead of our ancestors? Can we imagine a life without electricity? And when we are discussing about the electricity, we need to know that how it is being efficiently managed.  In order to control the power supply, control panels are fitted to equipments.  Even the panels are secret to electricity in our homes. Let us discuss some of the facts associated with these electrical devices:

1.    The electric control panels generally comprises main disconnect, housing and circuit breakers.

2.    The panels are eye-catching as these are often installed in the form of colorful buttons.

3.    The devices equipped with push-buttons and switches are used to supply power to equipments.

4.    These electrical cabinets are available from simple and small to complex sizes, thereby meeting the requirements of all types of machines.

5.    Electrical control panels are available in a myriad of types in the market such as local control panels, lighting control panels, EHT controller panels, HVAC panels  and operator consoles to name a few.

6.    For supplying power to commercial & Industrial equipments, panels of 100, 150, 200 or 400 amps capability are generally used. It is wise to employ always a skilled operator for any panel work.

7.    To meet the industry requirements, there are several companies in the market like of Solutions Control Systems Inc, which customize the products as per the valued patron’s specific requirements and offer the products at rock bottom rates.

In versatile applications like of fans, conveying systems, textiles and machine construction, AC Drive Panels are used. And generally, where metals, paper, plastics, cranes, mining, oil and gas equipments are concerned, DC Drive Panels find application. Soft Starters are generally applied for controlling acceleration and deceleration of three-phase motors.  The discussion would be incomplete, until and unless we would mention about control system integration. Though the term is used in media, defense industry and information technology, but system integration has become part and parcel of every industry. Interestingly, a system integrator can be a human being or a machine, required for the coordination of all the subsystems into a whole and for ensuring that subsystems work together in an efficient manner.

We all know about the usage of the power. But have we ever given a thought on its controller? This article has been penned down to bring forth, some facts about the electrical control panels and also the importance of systems integration.
