Electrical Control Panel Wiring in 9 Minutes with KNX

[@tradward]

I just landed a job building these with barely any previous experience. Steep learning curve ahead. Wish me luck! 😂

[@lassipls]

I also had absolutely no prior experience nor education for this field, everything I learned was on the job watching others, asking a lot of questions, making mistakes and generally trying my best. It can be very rewarding making things with your own hands, good luck from Finland!

[@dancarter22x70]

hope your job is running smoothly lad

[@tradward]

@dancarter22x70 yeah, going great thanks. They've kept me on so I must be doing something right 👍

[@PhysicsLad1234]

You go king 🙌🏼

[@safebh8841]

Asking for an update pls

[@bryoncovell6325]

I build panels on this side of the pond. Work is clean. My only comment is using tech screws. I started my career using them, but have been tapping machine screws for the last 15 years. It's a preference thing. My panels are usually much larger than needed so any maintenance guy down the road has room to work without fear of grounding out against the cabinet trying to troubleshoot. My current project is a pump station for a corrections institution. Pair of 50 hp pumps on VFDs inside a box that will be 2 meters squared by 1/2 meter deep and weigh in at roughly 500kg. I definitely agree on your point of enjoying seeing the layout "come to life" as the components are installed on the back panel.

[@adampindell]

I drill tap all my raceway and din rail, too. But the backings we use are 10 guage ang teck screws just dont cut it.

[@notafanboy250]

I know exactly zero about what you were doing but I appreciate some nice tidy work and watched the whole thing. Nice work!

[@Yousef-bg9ky]

9:11 and your information landed perfectly

[@christophermcpherson1901]

Nice video. I’ve built and wired panels for 24 years and I’ve never used a laser for anything. With the isolator shaft cut I just cut the shaft to size , fit it in the isolator and mark the top with a marker pen, close the door on it and you have the mark to drill for the handle 👍🏽

[@Rottingopossum]

You got quality tools and bags brotha. I can always tell a professional from a bum by what someone shows up to the job with.

[@whithneyvanas7889]

One of the best jobs I had I won't mind to do panel wiring again I really enjoy this work 😊

[@loveofkemet]

Nice vid, would be good if you did a vid/training vid where you look at the individual blocks in the panel and talk about them for a few minutes in isolation. Thanks

[@beeautomation]

Thanks mate, I'll take note of that cheers.

[@jewelmahmud2042]

I like electrical control panel wiring. And this video helpful for me I learn more. Thank you sir.

[@beeautomation]

So do I my friend … glad it helped 🙂👍🏼

[@lassipls]

I build various sizes and types of these for a living. Had never thought of using a laser to mark the hole for the isolator switch shaft, definitely going to use it in the future myself!

[@malcbush9551]

Drop of tippex on shaft end that's cut to length, shut door and bingo you have your mark. Lot cheaper.

[@insylem]

I use carpenter squares to mark the shaft on the ones I do. Never thought of using light amplified by the stimulation and emissions of radiation.

[@tbrizius]

That laser trick is pretty slick. Gonna start using that myself

[@ClosestNearUtopia]

Pretty good, what I dont like personally is steering and mains running on the same gutter. Run mains left, steering right or vice versa. Makes expanding and trouble shooting a lot more easy, and more neat to fuzzle in between.

[@Degenerates-re5wc]

Agree

[@m.rgh.i9199]

Tnx. It's great. plz make a special video for the standard placement of different devices like power supply in a panel.

[@pn8902]

Would love to see the process of installing the panel on site and how you go about testing everything is working.

[@beeautomation]

I've got something in the pipeline 😉

[@akosacs01]

​@@beeautomation that sounded incredibly suspicious 😂

[@caravanlifenz]

That's a work of art.

[@maxball5329]

Great video! Looks like a cool project. Would love to see a video of all of the components and how they work and their uses. I'm an electrician but have never had any experience of KNX/PLC. Keep up the good work.

[@beeautomation]

Thanks Max, working on a training course at the moment which will cover this sort of thing

[@MatSmithLondon]

Excellent panel, very nicely done. There was a really good opportunity to flood the video with information about the panel itself, model numbers, parts, purpose of the touchpanel on the front, customer needs, etc... so much to talk about and felt you missed a good opportunity there. I guess the video was about the panel build, not the stuff in the panel, so fair enough - but I was also interested in what was going in there. What KNX gear was in there? (what power supply, dimmers, IP router, control gear etc.?) Anyway - great vid nevertheless!

[@pdhr0che]

Great work. No numbers? And no segregation between 230/400v and 24v

[@delrey-p]

Satisfying to watch as usual!

[@beeautomation]

Thanks mate 👊🏼

[@goodvibes0101]

Good effort young fella, in my day still is but when i started we use to lace our looms no plastic wiring duct in those days 😁 for door mounted devices i use rivet nuts no unsightly bolts poking out or sharp bits

[@Adrian-r2t2s]

Great Video, can you give a walk through to the components an what they do. It would be really nice

[@cf4369]

Bro so happy you made this page!

[@JeremyDeSantis-x1u]

[@ronken9856]

I do not use those screw because they tend to leave shavings under the trunking and DIN bar. And sometimes even leaves sharp shavins sticking out from the screw heads. But they are faster.

[@Nightking605]

Wonderful informative video. Keep it up!👍🏽😎👍🏽

[@WillmannElectrical]

Love a panel build mate - tidy job 🤘

[@beeautomation]

cheers mate!

[@maksim_belostozky]

Good day! Turns out is really interesting and useful video for me. I am studying English language. I am a relay protection engineer. I have some question: how you do marking for wire? Maybe have you video about this topic?

[@bothwellchingombe4746]

Great work man! What software did you use for the panel designing?

[@abeltagun3572]

Nice job

[@OZY_Fitness]

As a maintenance electrician i'll give you feedback, 1 major issue here - no labels or at least numbers on cables. It takes ages to faultfind issues if there no numbers or labels on cables. "But there is a drawing you st..id i..ot!"-you would say, I'll tell you drawing lasts 5 years, panel lasts more, after 10 years you might not find drawing at all! And this panel will be nightmare for electrician who will work on it. So don't make me sad mark the cables!!

[@beeautomation]

Stop trolling… you can clearly see there’s cable idents

[@zerzer664]

❤❤❤❤

[@zerzer664]

Stop trolling

[@robtech341]

Nice work so far. I might suggest waiting until all of your components are installed before actually installing the wire duct as it's just easier to not have to assemble around and over the duct. Mark it and drill it just wait until wiring starts to install. Very well done! Cheers!

[@DaDaDaddeo]

Any protection of the electronics from metal filings when making the fascia cutouts?

[@alexsikorskyzero]

hi! tell me in what program do you do the outline of the shield project? arrangement and scheme

[@octymocty132]

Nice job Few recommendations from a engineer Tools use q max cutters lot cleaner than step drills and yeah they do sq but heavy cost And also factor in 20% from box size to consumption when building panels as im my line it dose get used and dont take long for upgrades to go in or a oh dam we forgot

[@nabilou8106]

What type of screws do you use to fix the cable conduct and the rail on the backplane

[@dfgnzfjfhctf-ms2un]

Great content! Keep up the good work. Would be great if you pause here and there and support mentally with some drawings like in other videos. Greeting from Germany.

[@michaelt126]

Would you say wiring is easier to make nice with slightly oversized raceways?

[@swingbomberofficial5172]

what’s the jig saw i seen used in this im using a grinder for the cutouts in my cabs right now and am looking to upgrade 😂

[@ramondiaz2921]

Very good

[@erlwindegans3954]

Nice work. Curious question about your opinion on seperating mains cables from signal cables rather then putting it all on top of each other in th same trunking?

[@beeautomation]

if the are high inductance cables like inverter or switching high loads on/off regularly then yes 100% ... otherwise I don't owrry.

[@iL_Sol]

Hi, impressive work. Small question why's hmi panel and stop button located on down part panel and not in up part position. It's will be not comfortable? Thanks for your video, very interesting, good luck with your work.

[@beeautomation]

Hey man... not sure I completely understand your question... the HMI is positioned there because that around face height when the panel is mounted on the wall on site

[@iL_Sol]

@@beeautomation Thanks for your answer. That's exactly what I was asking. I just didn’t immediately understand that in the video this is your assembly table and not the final place for mounting the cabinet. Have a nice day!)

[@knxsmarthomefaltsetosmarko-p8r]

Great video! Looks like a cool project.what screen do you use in your knx projects?

[@Dynamicelectrician]

Nice video. I use the tek screws in the US as well. I generally will only tap a few 10-32 screws into the Dinrail on the end with star washers so I can carry the ground path better. Awesome job!

[@beeautomation]

Cheers dude! Yeah i get some slack using tek screws from some people but I think they're great and are so much quicker!

[@bobbyintheshop]

awesome video

[@beeautomation]

Cheers dude 👊

[@fimblefomble]

Great informative video - thanks. Just wondering about the running of the mains voltage alongside and parallel to the low voltage; I've seen it mentioned elsewhere that it's good to try and keep mains to one side and low voltage to the other as much as you reasonably can. What's your thoughts/experience on this?

[@beeautomation]

Hey man, thank you! In an ideal world yes, but it's not always practical... the only time I'm very careful with segregation is; 1. keeping sensitive signal cables away from high inductance cables like for inverters. 2. highly loaded cables where you have to think about grouping

How long does it take for completing the assembly control panel

[@michaelclarquist6459]

No wire numbering? I also noticed the cabinet door was drilled while on the enclosure... I would have covered the terminals and components from shards of metal flying into them.

I saw a Lithuanian guy building these and he had the habit of using a hammer to snap off the ends of the screws on the back of the panel. I have no idea if it is necessary or not but it is possible.
