Electrical Panel Enclosure | Baying Systems, Panel Compartments, Panel RAL Color, Lifting Eyebolts

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

In Part 1 of this video series on Electrical Control Panel Basics, you've learned about the "Wiring" of the electrical control panels and in that tutorial, I just pointed out the electrical panel enclosures.

👉 Watch Part 1 here:

In Part 2, I've discussed different aspects of the electrical control panel enclosures. You learned about some tools (like a hole saw cutter and a metal reamer) and devices (like cable glands, cable grommets, etc.) and how to use those tools and devices in your electrical panel and cabling works.

You also learned about the Electrical Panel IP ratings and NEMA ratings and how to keep and improve these Ingress Protection Ratings while working with the panels.

👉 Watch Part 2 here:

In this part (Part 3), we'll continue our Electrical Panel Enclosure discussion and you'll gain more practical knowledge about them. You'll learn about:

- The baying system configurations,
- The enclosure compartments,
- Wiring ducts,
- Electrical Panel RAL Standard color codes,
- Lifting eyebolts,
and so on.

As you’ve seen in the previous part, the panel has a steel sheet inside, known as the mounting plate that we have to dismantle and install some Wiring ducts on that before we do anything else.

Ducts are a kind of organizing component that we route the wires inside the panel using them. I’m going to add another point here about Wiring ducts.

In the electrical control panels, in some routes we have more wires and, in others, we have fewer.

So, we should consider the depth and the width of every piece of wiring ducts according to the volume of the wires we’re gonna lay into them.

It is not only about the size of the wiring ducts, but the dimensions of the Enclosure have also a significant impact on the comfort of wiring and installation of the electrical components inside the panel.

Obviously, the more electrical components we have to install inside the panel, the bigger the size of the electrical panel should be.

In addition to the number of components, the purpose of usage can also impact the size, type, and configuration of the enclosure.

Generally, an electrical panel enclosure is comprised of a chassis or frame and some plates on its different sides that can be dismantled and assembled pretty easily to provide different configurations known as enclosure baying systems. Let me give you an example.

Consider a Motor Control Center or MCC panel. This panel has three separate compartments with different dimensions that are attached to each other.

These electrical MCC panels are actually a kind of side-baying system in that separate panels are connected side by side.

Thank you for clearer explanations and detailed content. Referencing to separate yet connected great video contents, it makes it easier to follow. I'll be glad if you could make more automation videos.

[sanourian]

Valuable and useful content. Thanks for sharing.

[fripple]

Thank you !, very informative, Please keep making more !

[emmanuelsanusi]

That you
Upmation for what you do!!!

[bhaskerm]

The way the animation was made is easy to understand, and the way it was narrated in simple english makes it easy to understand by even a Non technical person. I appreciate the efforts and the amount of time spent in creating informative tutorials like this. Keep up the work and hats off for the informations and details.
I have few suggestions or questions,
1, What is the recommended sheetmetal material to make Enclosures?
2. What should be the general thickness of the sheetmetal used for Enclosures?
Please give me your comments and do the needful. Thanks.

[mdeatherdeowan]

Thanks for all videos. Its helping me a lot.

[joelgobeh]

This channel is wonderful … thank you so much!!!

[golnazjariani]

Practical concepts with excellent display.

[mohamedsayed-efek]

Incredible illustration and explanation thank you

[razerimperator]

Hello friend! A very important video from your side.I had to observe installation errors in the work, because of which the PLC failed)

[erwinalarcon]

thanks for all your videos. The explanation and detail that they put into making them is just great.

I am attentive to the following videos.

[kahwaichoong]

Hey bro, very good info, btw, im very looking forward for your next coming videos related to DCS/PLC hardware wiring if available 😁

[nabilhamdioui]

Can you tell us please what kind of software you are using we are amazed by the quality of the presentation

[parindave]

Very good and detailed video series on control panels.

I would request if such educational content can be uploaded more frequently like 2-3 videos in a week....

However thanks for content shared till date....

Hello my friend, the video was great. I am an electrician and I have an electrical training channel and I do the wiring of industrial switchboards.

[vatsalthaker]

Hello sir, when will you launch your automation course....

[happylivechannel]

Can you explain how to connect closed proximity sensor PNP to siemen logo?..also start and stop pushbutton to siemens logo

[manishsinghvlogs]

I want to know what is the difference between level transmitter and pressure transmitter please make a video on this topic also

[laithhameedalazawy]

The word amazing does not satisfy your efforts in the video.
Respect man

[rajeshgummidi]

Sir pls make video on how to read electrical schematic diagram, and make more videos your explanation is very understandable
