Electrical Control Panel

An electrical control panel is a component of an electrical system that manages the operation of mechanical equipment. It includes devices that monitor and control machinery or electrical systems.

Key components inside a control panel may include:

• Circuit Breakers: Protect electrical circuits from overloading by cutting off the power when necessary.
• Relays: Switches that open or close circuits electromechanically or electronically.
• Contactors: Large relays used for controlling high-power circuits, like motors.
• PLC (Programmable Logic Controller): A digital computer used for automation of industrial processes.
• Overload Relays: Protect motors from overheating by disconnecting power when excessive current is detected.
• Transformers: Convert high voltage to lower voltage suitable for equipment inside the control panel.
• Wiring: Various cables and wires to route power and control signals.

Electrical control panels are commonly used in industries like manufacturing, HVAC systems, power plants, and more. They provide centralized control and help ensure that machines operate efficiently and safely.
