Industrial Control Panel Basics

[@frankreiserm.s.8039]

Thank you for your videos. Because I watched them, I was able to intelligently answer questions about this topic at a job interview. I got the job on the spot for $40,000/year. They opened 430V, three-phase panels and had me explain them as part of the verbal test. I passed. No more repairing TVs for me. This will be the first full time, professional job that I have had since 2001. Frank

[@24schoppindafield]

Congrats Frank!

[@abedsky756]

congrats man

[@MultiSly21]

Congrats! Never stop learning

[@walkerdrae]

Congrats

[@mikewatte4478]

You chancer

[@gappuma7883]

It would be great if you could make a wiring diagram tutorial aswell, would apreciate it very much!

[@mathewgomwe6251]

got a new job,and you just saved my career man..Thank you

[@HzPjtvHYom4991]

This channel is fantastic. It's really helping me understand a wide range of material that I employ daily at work, where training can be insufficient at times. Excellent videos! Keep them coming. The simplicity and professionalism makes it easy to follow, and when you want to learn about a particular item/subject those videos are available.

[@bladder1010]

I could only wish that the stuff I have to work on were as neatly laid out and tidy as this. Very good video.

[@RSPSupply]

Thank you! We really appreciate the feedback.

[@RayyTunes]

Dude I know what you mean.

[@philip6508]

LOL! The rats nest is usually found under the wire duct covers because the schematic is missing and is no longer accurate anyway!!! Every time you power up the panel, all the office toilets flush! The third shift tech, who was troubleshooting the radio section just left for a 3 week vacation and his pass down notes don't make sense. The CEO's inspection tour starts in 30 minutes... MAN I LOVE(D) MY JOB! I've been downsized to a maintenance helper in a place where maintenance means cleaning - possibly even toilets.

[@justinj1790]

Oh yeah, the panels I look at are nothing near as neat as that.

[@kaden1997]

I just started as an industrial electrician at a water treatment plant and this helps a lot thanks!

[@johnvictorengland7703]

Teach yourself IEC 61131-3 PLC programming and try to get promoted to an engineer for a big jump in pay without needing to go through 4 years of useless college. Just a tip. GL on your new job.

[@matthelms7846]

Thank you for that, trying to advance in this field and that helped tremendously

[@offspringfan1288]

Same here. I started working plant maintenance 1 year ago, have learned a lot in the past year but the electrical issues I run into troubleshooting is the one that I’m not familiar with. Just enrolled in tech school to start Industrial Electricity courses though.

[@matthelms7846]

@@offspringfan1288 good deal, i started going to tech school for electrical last year as well. It's a great choice to make and good luck!

[@RSPSupply]

Glad it was helpful!

[@erickenny82]

I really wish more tech schools would teach this way. I went through 2 years of TSTC , and graduated, and it was never presented to me in such a straightforward way.

[@seminolerick6845]

I worked in manufacturing for decades. This was WELL explained without the need of getting into in depth analysis of each component. Young folks should consider this well paid, blue collar profession... building panels, or connecting them to machinery , or interfacing/ programming to use with other panels & computers.

[@michaelb9664]

ReadyTo SaveIt having been a panel wiremen for 20 years, I’m afraid I don’t share your enthusiasm. Good panel builders are a dying breed. The work here in the UK is mostly under paid considering the skill and qualification level required to be truly competent. I’m lucky that for the past 10 years I’ve worked at a place that does pay well, but this incredibly rare where I live. Most of this work is on a temporary unstable basis and underpaid. I certainly wouldn’t recommend any young up and coming people to consider this as a career. At least not where I live in the UK.

[@jopflah416]

I used to build electrical control panels, painted the enclosures, laid out, mounted and wired the components and then tested the entire panel. Moved on to programming and selling PLC's. Have to say building the panels was the more enjoyable part.

[@liseydamontoya2994]

this is exactly what i was looking for ,nice video.

[@usemybox]

This is a fantastic tutorial, working with software, this has helped me understand the structure and components you would typically find inside a control panel. Thank you

[@ClaudinneV]

Very concise and insightful explanation. Thank you very much!

[@RSPSupply]

You're welcome!

[@ES-pk6yg]

Wow great video! This really breaks down the basics and would serve as a great introduction for a lot of people that applies to much larger and complex control panels as well. Keep the videos coming! I look forward to seeing more from your group.

[@Laron18jet]

Great video. Straight forward with clear explanation. I'm going to open a panel now to identify the components. My electrical instructor sent me this video. Thanks Harry.👍

[@alikhanzulkashov4438]

Every time before I am about to fabricate a control panel, I watch your videos

[@eddiew2325]

No offense but I don’t think you should do it unless you want to fight me

[@philip6508]

Nice video. Nice panel! You truly captured the basics with no confusion. Good job.

[@regiarayada27]

I learned a lot Watching your videos thank you so much .in my previous job I used to assemble Flow meters where i connect and wire different type of components now the company moved out and had to look for another Job anyhow i found a great Job doing this in the begging they didn't have too much trust on my because I'm a woman but i teach them that i could do the Job sometimes they send me out of the country because I'm bilingual i speak Spanish i enjoy working with panels

[@HtetKyawKhant143]

Thanks for your sharing. I 'm currently working as a Control and Service Engineer in Myanmar.

[@ChuongNguyen-up9fy]

we need more videos like this. seriously. please

[@petrutarabuta5617]

Excellent video. You are a great explainer. The filming and editing quality is great too. Congrats.

[@danielmayorga2207]

Awesome video and well explained my friend , thank you for your knowledge and education 👍🏽

[@ben2687]

🤯 LOL. I need to get better at this stuff. Thanks for showing it, rather than a diagram. For some reason this make so much more sense to me than diagrams.

[@王超-c9c]

very good video to achieve the basic knowledge of the control panel

[@Mining2373]

Great panel wiring presentation but how is AC power fail from the relay to the PLC gonna help,because when the main power fails the whole circuit will be off. Unless you install a 24Vdc output UPS and a 24Vdc power supply module for the PLC😊

[@Imufur]

finally someone that explain this, I started an industrial maintenance course but everyone except me seems to already know electrical mumbo jumbo so i am desperately trying to catch up

[@seminolerick6845]

Imufur Indeed, he does an excellent job at the Introductory level... almost a "sales pitch" to get you interested, without bogging all down in details. There IS much to learn, depending on what level you will work with in the building, installation & maintenence of these panels. A basics of electricity course, shops skills level (drilling,tapping holes etc) , and wiring diagram reading and documentation of , might be the next series of learning courses for you. A good "hands on" mentor, is invaluable if you can latch onto one. Good luck !

[@Jaescompany]

We work on the electronic field and we found your video Interesting

[@DRAGONMONKEY0310]

Very professional and great presentation. Thanks

[@RSPSupply]

Thank you. We appreciate the feedback.

[@MonsieurKonthaar]

I love how you divide the terminal blocks by signal type. Where i work we divide the terminal blocks alot different.

[@someguy9431]

Very good video. Best yet I've found. I work in an industrial plant and was "thrown into" this sort of electrical stuff. I started as a contractor on site doing HVAC work. So I am "reverse engineering" my knowledge, so to speak, of the stuff upstream of the machine. This helped.

[@terriblelottery]

wow its actually really cool for you to be given that position. Hope they gave you a raise in pay for it. I want to do this type of work in the future.

[@alicheraitia5146]

Great job ,I want more videos with serious problems .

[@darrelbautista9038]

Thanks for sharing, a very nice overview of an Industrial Control Panel informative 👍

[@RSPSupply]

Glad it was helpful!

[@theblackdragon7321]

A really nice video. I am currently working for a company that builds those and other electrical panels.

[@brandonhamilton6080]

Good afternoon. I really enjoyed the video. Do you have an electrical schematic of the panel featured in this video ?

[@feedyourfaith7392]

I’ve been looking for a video like this. What is the correct name for paper holder on the door? What is the correct name for the seal that keeps the rain and ants out.

[@denisnikitin5894]

I wonder why neutrals are not passing through breakers? Same question about DC GND.

[@tahirqureshitgq7892]

Excellent, thanks.

[@RSPSupply]

Glad it was helpful!

[@derick9210]

You explained this so well thank you

[@sammysatsangi7754]

very well made video. very clear descriptions . Well done !!!!!!!!!

[@kashifnazir4634]

Sir, what mm2 of wire is use for plc , contractor, relay and supply in panel ?

[@75blackviking]

Can you provide the mfr and part number for the din rail mounted analog input terminals shown in the video?

[@kennydieu2694]

Great video and informative .

[@RSPSupply]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DanielGirardBolduc]

Really Good Tutorial As always :) Keep the good work i'm really learning a lot as a Computer Engineer !

[@abderezakabidi4510]

Hope that he read your comment ☺️

[@WilliamNjoya]

Hi. What are the areas to consider in order to properly size an electrical panel required for an industrial production line?

[@RSPSupply]

We will do a video on that soon.

[@marlonespino9111]

It depends on your requirements..start first with your design for sequencing then figure out your components..then from there you can tell what size and what type your panel is..but always keep in mind always put a leg room for your wires and never evere use a NEMA type 1 enclosure for your panel

[@caifascruz6993]

Great video explained, I only have one concerned.... at minute 1:26 this guy is explaining something about the source suppressor that it's fine. Buuut....... why the outlet at the left size as been mark with "5A max", if the outlet is basically and normalized for 20 A??? What kind of outlet is that??? Or where do that sell those @RSP Supply ? Here at USA don't have those if this (the outlet) is a 5A; have a great day....

[@branton0]

What materials do we use to construct back plate ?

[@snoopingasusualisee3903]

How is the job and economic outlook in this sector. I'm studying EET in college and I'm worried I won't find a job without internship experience. RN ,I'm learning circuit basics but I'm self teaching on PLC, PID. I still get confused by all the components and their purposes.

[@Dfk429S9fo3]

Is that base plate pre-famulated amulite? Is there anything in place to reduce sinusoidal depleneration?

[@busteraycan]

I also use words when I speak. POLYCARBONATE.

[@andyramone8497]

Lovely video. Wish to have alot more walkthrough like these.

[@boufatahhabib5344]

Well done

[@siddharthanasokan3718]

@1:54 it's called terminal block

[@jamesbuzan5457]

Nice overview - just what I needed. Also, are there any specific codes that govern control panels other than say NEC?

[@reyhazle885]

NFPA79 (closely linked to NEC)

[@azeemahammed8646]

Why you provide only modicon plc?

[@akoito116]

Very much applicable and appreciated your ideas to learned, thank you very much.

[@acectrl]

Great video. Cheers!

[@JohnTFitness]

Great video really professional

[@tomcloser]

I cannot say anything but I love this so much. Thanks a lot!

[@Hugo-on8je]

amazing video, very informative

[@radhakrishna1008]

Please make a video explaining all the MARKINGS (and buttons) on 1. Circuit Breaker 2. Contactor 3. Timer 4. Overload Relay

Thank you for the video. It really helps

[@worldmedia7863]

great , but u need explain about PLC and surge suppressor

[@Shah_Voice9]

Great video ❤❤

[@RSPSupply]

Thank you!!

[@MiguelHernandez-rw4xu]

Both informative and well presented video

[@insylem]

The outlet says 5 amp max. That being the case, why does it allow for a 20Amp plug?

[@anirbansasmal4942]

Hellow sir can you tell me a servo motor encoder using the length measurement .in this function a encoder is analog input or digital input

[@GobeshonaBD]

Nice explanation.

[@oreste6076]

HI, is the Powersupply (2:38) DC Side connected to DC+, DC- AND EARTH??

[@seminolerick6845]

Oreste Schaller Depends on what your specific supllies & applications needs are... i.e. cannot be answered here as there are too many unknown variables in question.

[@insylem]

That DINN rail loks like it's cut wrong. The hole is cut. It doesn't need to be cut because there is still room on either side.

[@雪花-o1e]

Cabinet very nice

[@cali_laalten]

superb video for the uninitiated chemical engineer looking to dip his toe into power and control panels!

[@Marween]

Even tho I don't need this, it will come in handy just in case!

[@metalenclosuremachines]

Thank you for sharing this video, very good.

[@Tom_Sawyer385]

How deep the enclosure? Is the Radio be ok with jumper connection? Just wondering.

[@seminolerick6845]

Much additional site info would be needed for anyone to help you with this.

[@محمدجعفرآلعقيل]

Plz make video for how to read panel drawing paper

[@Wolf.88]

Excellent

[@shankyew]

Well done video!

Good work

[@johnnashmy8640]

Details......The AC Convenience Outlet is mounted correctly, Ground at the top. This is a controversial issue, thus the term U Ground

[@mikewatte4478]

Im 47 now. I wish i had know all this when i was 18

[@JJRD222]

No KZbin 😕

You are Awesome!!! thanks for this Video

[@genplays1085]

Soooooo thank you!

[@RSPSupply]

You're welcome!

[@EvilSniper181]

Really informative. Thanks!

[@RSPSupply]

Thank you!!

[@Jake-uc8mb]

Ok nice, but does it blend?

[@johnschroeder3072]

Is there any reason why the main breaker and Surge arrestor are upside down?

[@RSPSupply]

We do that because of the wiring. The breaker is right side up but you are right that the surge protection is upside down. The input and outputs are opposite of the other components and we want all the input wires to come in from the same direction.

[@johnschroeder3072]

Yeah I had a closer look after I wrote that comment and realised that the breaker was up the right way. Though those surge arresters as far as I know don't matter which way up they go (except maybe the earth only on one end?) as I think they are just a pair of MOV's.

[@samwelbarasa7567]

You really help me..keep up
