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

✅ Join us here, get awesome perks, and support us, all at once:

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:

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.

What an outstanding job to help beginners understand what all this is about. Thank you so much !

[ersheikismail]

Im an panel engineer i found its really very good lecture easy to learn for beginners in plc and panel firm...heartily wishes

[ramanajah]

I get more amazed every video I watch from you. I appreciate all the rendering/drawing/animating you do to explain because it takes a lot more than just knowing automatization for a video like this. AWESOME

[dominikbenedek]

One of the best videos about this topic out there. Love it!

[virupaxishivannavar]

Really it's nice to get all the information, please explain about precharge circuit as well

[PerchEagle]

Thanks for the video, absolutely useful for engineers who work in educational sectors and not in industrial environment.

[abumomoh-sanni]

Your videos should be used to teach in classes, the calming step by step way your explanations bring life into the electrical field is Top Notch. Thanks

[benhurley]

That was great 👍🏻 looking forward to the next videos. I would like to know how to fault find in a panel. Keep up the great work! Thank you 😊

[smmndst]

You guys are the best!!!! This is the type of video i looked for, please make more like this one, keep up the good work!!👍🏻

[effiomeffiom]

whoa! i ma so thrilled. Detailed explanation to guide beginners. Thanks so much!

[razerimperator]

Thanks you my friend! Your videos can help me for education.

[lusandasithole]

It my first time finding an educational video that made me to click a Like button, Subscribe button and ....wait for it - Bell notification! Bravo! great PLC video.

[austinetoochi]

This was every interesting and enlightening. Was really impressed as it was broken down into bits of knowledge.
Kudos team!

[manotto]

Absolutely Awesome tutorials 4 beginners

[muthump]

Really Clear Explanation with each details
Hopefully expecting more videos

[minwin]

Upmation is one of my favorite Chanel in YouTube. Excellent video and thanks you again.

[minhtam]

Very practical and straight to the point. Thank you.

[pawelsokolowski]

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.

[sanourian]

Perfect, keep the good work up, Upmation.

[hassanalshekha]

Thanks a lot for taking time to build this with amazing visualization and step by step illustration.
