Description
Electrical Control panel - Basics & considerations for general arrangement (GA) drawings for Switchboard / control panel /Electrical Panels
Electrical Switchboard / control panel design
Basics on Switchboards & their General Arrangement drawings is a basic course to start learning about switchboard or their general arrangement drawings. We have covered various concepts that are required to design general arrangement drawings for switchboards. We start with very basics and eventually build on it.
This course is even suitable for students who want to learn about the switchboards or control panels.
Some of the topics that you will come across are:
1) Basic details on Switchboards & GA Drawings
What is GA drawing?
Where is it used ?
Why is it needed?
What are the inputs required to draw a GA drawing?
Variations in GA drawings
Basic Building blocks of a Switchboard or GA drawings.
2) Feeders / Modules/ Functional Units
Basics on feeders / modules /functional units.
Different feeder types : Incomer / Bus-coupler / Outgoings / Motor Feeders etc.
Basic considerations for feeder sizing / module sizing
Basic considerations for feeder placement
3) Switchgear - ·ACB's, MCCB's, Other plate mounted components, door mounted components, Heat generating equipments etc.
How they affect the feeder sizing and, in turn, affect the placement in Switchboards
Consideration for din-rail mounted components
Consideration for mounting and placement of CT's & PT's
Heat generating equipments
How interlocks affect feeder placement
4) IP Protection
What is IP protection?
Why is it important?
How is it important for Electrical Switchboards?
What is the significance of the 2 digits in IP rating?
IP's Applicable for Electrical Switchboards - Motor Control Centers and Power control centers
What various IP's mean: IP 42, IP 54, IP 55 etc.
How IP protection impacts ventilation arrangement
5) Form of Segregation
What form of segregation is?
Why segregation is required ?
What are the various forms of segregation?
6) Different variations of panel design and how they define the GA drawing
Single unit panels
Multi unit panels
On what basis is a particular design of panel selected?
Full height feeders
7) Vertical dropper rating and sizing & diversity factor. And lastly Practice Exercise
How vertical dropper rating is decided.
What is diversity factor
SUP's & MUP's - Various possibilities
Why a certain design is selected
Total vertical count
Optimum feeder placement

We, at Iconic Techno Solutions Pvt. Ltd., are providers of Engineering Automation Solution to switchboard manufacturers. We also provide Solar solutions.
We are team of highly experienced electrical engineers who have worked in the switchboard manufacturing industry for almost 25-30 years and have now completed 10 years in IT based solution for the switchboard industry.
We have extensive hands on experience and we have worked with some prominent companies like Siemens, Schneider, L&T, Legrand, etc. We have not only gotten opportunity to work on projects for the Indian market but also for the international market.
During all these years, we worked with different people, with different skill set, and we have got the job done. We taught them , trained them and guided them throughout but without any formal training procedure or material.
What we have realized that there a basic gap that needs to be filled between college education and industry, and hence we have taken this step to start Iconic-educademy, wherein we don't only what to help freshers and new comers who join our organisation but also help everyone out their looking to fill this gap wrt. practical relevance in the working environment.
People now what to learn based on their own convenience and comfort. And hence, we are coming with online courses in areas we have worked in and have extensive experience in.
We hope that these course will help people advance in their careers or at least decrease the learning curve time when they join a company.
Happy Learning!!
