Panel Board Controlling Circuit Project
🔹 Project Overview
I successfully designed and implemented a Panel Board Controlling Circuit for industrial operations in just 15 days, under the supervision of M. Power Engineering. This project involved building a fully functional and safe control system panel capable of operating multiple electrical loads with protection, automation, and reliability.
🔹 Objectives
-
Design a safe and efficient panel board circuit.
-
Provide manual & automatic control for motors and other industrial loads.
-
Integrate protection devices (MCB, overload relay, fuses).
-
Ensure proper wiring, labeling, and neat finishing for industrial standards.
-
Deliver the project within a tight 15-day schedule.
🔹 Process & Execution
1. Requirement Analysis (Day 1–2)
-
Discussed control needs with M. Power Engineering.
-
Identified components: MCBs, contactors, relays, timers, push buttons, selector switches, overload protection.
-
Prepared single line diagram (SLD) and circuit diagram.
2. Component Procurement (Day 3–5)
-
Sourced all materials and tools.
-
Verified component ratings (voltage, current capacity, thermal limits).
-
Ensured availability of wiring accessories and safety gear.
3. Panel Board Assembly (Day 6–10)
-
Installed DIN rails, busbars, terminal blocks, wiring ducts.
-
Mounted MCBs, relays, contactors, timers neatly.
-
Completed power wiring (supply line, protection, load line).
-
Completed control wiring (switches, start/stop push buttons, indication lamps).
4. Testing & Troubleshooting (Day 11–13)
-
Performed continuity and insulation checks.
-
Tested manual & automatic operation sequences.
-
Adjusted overload relay settings for motor protection.
-
Resolved wiring issues and fine-tuned control logic.
5. Final Delivery & Documentation (Day 14–15)
-
Labeled all wires, components, and circuits.
-
Prepared circuit diagram documentation.
-
Delivered panel to M. Power Engineering with demonstration.
