How Electrical Control Panel Works | PLC Control Panel Basics | Electrical Panel Components

Behind the scenes of every factory, there are lots of electrical panels that make the process work properly. These electrical panels can be distributed throughout the process or located in a special room like a control room or electrical room.
In this video, we will talk about one of the most important industrial electrical panels, the "Electrical Control Panel."
First, we'll quickly check the electrical panel enclosure and the nonelectrical devices we should install inside, such as DIN rails and wiring ducts.
Second, we'll check out the electrical panel components step-by-step. We specifically talk about the PLC control panels.
We talk about, Miniature Circuit Breaker or MCBs and how we distribute the power between electrical panel components using them, and how MCBs protect our electrical devices against short circuit faults.
Throughout this video, you'll learn about electrical panel wiring. How we use power supplies, ordinary terminal blocks, terminal strip jumpers, fuse terminal blocks, MCBs, and so on to up and run our PLC control panel.
In the end, when all of the components of our control panel have been installed, wired up, and we turned on our main circuit breaker to power it on, I'll give you an actual practical example of how to connect a sensor to our PLC and use it in an industrial process.
👉 We also strongly recommend you to watch these videos:
▶ How to Read Electrical Diagrams: upmation.com/wiring-diagrams/
▶ How to Read PLC Wiring Diagram: upmation.com/plc-wiring-diagram/
In future videos, I’ll explain:
- The details of each component of the electrical control panel,
- Electrical panel enclosures,
- Different types of electrical panels in a project,
- The electrical layout and architecture of a typical factory.
I really hope you'll learn something new from this video. Please LIKE and share this video with your friends, colleagues, or your students if so happened.

[@pawelsokolowski868]

This is a very good video, thanks for it. If I may, I would suggest to make a video particularly on the layout of the control cabinet, that is prefered (best practice) location of certain types of components, such as power supply (high and low voltage), PLCs, communications, relays/contactors, terminal blocks and so on. I know these things are discussed in norm documents, but I believe your way and explaining and showings things is much nicer !!! Thanks.

If you wish to enter an already seemingly saturated sector with little hopes of getting your share of the market, meet Upmation to give you the formula for doing so: they have done that with their KZbin videos. Just when you feel there isn't anything new to learn about building a control panel, Upmation steps in and schools you effortlessly. This is one of the best videos to jumpstart any smart human being with no prior background in this field. Thank you very much for the effort and consideration.

[@Upmation]

Hi, Jamesule! Such an amazing comment and thank you very much for the compliments. Although these subjects might have been covered by other KZbin channels as well, we're trying to approach them differently (and of course genuinely!) so that every individual may find some practical useful things during the videos. So we're really happy that people like you have found some or all parts useful. And just to mention, we're trying to start from basics and continue with more advanced subjects. Thanks again for being such a supportive fan!

[@DepressedA.I.]

Great video, I really liked it alot!!! One thing crossed my mind, though. The motor of the conveyor belt was not protected against overload, was it? Would you use a standard TOL then and plug it to the contactor? Or is this typically integrated in the motor case in that kind of application? In any case, thank you for your videos!

[@Upmation]

Thank you! It is a very good question. No, it is not really protected against OL. If we wanted to open this subject, the video would be so long, and besides, it was not in line with the subject and purpose of this video. By the way, there are both expensive and cost-effective methods to protect the motors against both short circuits and Over load faults. The cheapest method is using a Bi-metal plus an MCCB-TM. There are also MCCB-EL (Electronic MCCBs) as well. Although, there is a better but a little bit expensive way as well which is to use MPCBs. By far, the MPCBs are the best protection device for motors up to 55Kw.
