AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the components of an electric control panel for a pump, with a user seeking guidance due to their lack of experience in the field. Key components mentioned include contactors, circuit breakers, auxiliary contacts, current transformers, and relays. Concerns are raised about safety and proper qualifications, emphasizing the risks of working with mains voltages without adequate training. The thread highlights poor workmanship in the panel's wiring, which poses additional safety hazards. Ultimately, the thread is locked due to the potential dangers associated with untrained individuals handling electrical equipment.

hey ... i am working on Electric control panel for pump

but the Problem i am new on this Field

all i know in this Electric control panel is conductor

please can you help me to find References explain Components of Electric control panel

or just anyone tell me the names of Components

hi there
happy new year :)

considering that you have confessed to not knowing anything about this panel, you shouldn't even be playing with it without qualified supervision !

If you haven't already started an electrical trade, then you should be.
Working with mains voltages and a panel this complex requires that you have suitable qualifications, not only for your safety but the safety of those making use of its functions

As a result it would be unwise for anyone here to give you just enough info to risk personal injury or property damage

hey davenn

all i need is know the name of Components to learn more about them

that's it>>>>
 
Google circuit breaker, contactors + auxiliary contacts, relay, main circuit breaker, current transformer.
thats all I recognizes form your pic.
 
do you mean :

1- contactors

2- circuit breaker

3- auxiliary contacts

4- current transformer

5- relay

am i right ?

thanks dude ... you are the best
 
1 - Motor rated Overload trips
2 - Miniture circuit breakers (mcb's)
3 - Cartridge fuse holders
4 - Contactors
5 - Auxillary timer unit (Clipped onto a contactor)
6 - Current transformers
7 - Plug in relays and bases
8 - Dinrail mount terminals

Ps who ever connected this up is a bit of a bodgit IMHO as they used an Earth coded cable as a phase wire and 2 generations of colour coding is present within the same unit (incoming blue is on a new colour code cable and represents neutral where-as the panel is wired old colour code hence blue is phase colour), really poor workmanship, as well as derated cable size tapped onto incoming live terminals without fusing down, another worry is where its incoming earthing although may be connected outside of visual field seems to be missing?

Good catches, darkwood!

Is this part of a "hands-on" school course?

If his answer to the above is in the affirmative, that would explain a lot. :smile:

dlgoff . the thing is i am Student of food process engineering

but my University force me to work on that Electronic Control Panel

i told them i have nothing to do with it .. they told me you are not Graduate until done this work

anyway thanks you all for help me

I said it at the start
and I will say it again

This is a great way for some untrained person to get electrocuted and may also others using equip powered by this panel
because some one who doesn't know what they are doing has played with the panell!
