Electric cabinets: what they are and how they work

The electric cabinets, known as control panels represent that part of the plants that feeds outlets, lights but also home appliances. In other words, the electrical cabinet is the heart of the plant from which branch lines start, carrying the current to the junction boxes and to any type of electrical device

How many types of electrical cabinets exists

The electric cabinets are formed by a single general switch, by at least two differential switches, or the so called “circuit breakers”, and by several magnetothermal switches. They are located downstream of the counter and can be installed internally or externally, but also recessed, or placed in the floor or on the wall. Our control panels with automatic intervention are equipped with control unit and control panel: they are those control panels interposed between the network and the user, able to supply the latter automatically, in case of instability or lack of electrical voltage. Inside they find power counters, battery chargers, terminal blocks and various accessories.

What are electrical panels made for?

The electrical cabinets can have different functions, among which, above all, to power the circuits and protect them, besides interrupting the power supply of a circuit, in case of emergency, danger, short circuit and overload.

This part of the system not only dispenses and distributes the current, but also protects people from serious and unexpected hazards, interrupting the electricity in case of power surges, overloads, electrical leakage and contact with live or exposed parts.

Precisely their maintenance, which must always be carried out by expert and professional hands, is vital to guarantee the correct functioning of the electrical panels. According to the regulations, the electrical cabinets must have a size greater than 15% compared to what is necessary and that the circuits of the sockets are protected against overload.
