Introduction4:12
Explore real-world electrical design in industrial automation through a refrigeration project. Learn about power systems, climate control for enclosures, cables, protection devices, and software to create circuit diagrams.

Key features - software for power calculations in AC Circuits9:50
Explore the free Siemens Simaris design suite for power calculations in AC circuits, covering single line diagrams, selectivity with Simaris curves, and documentation export to AutoCAD.
Key features - software for calculation of heat loss / dimensioning of fans/AC7:53
Explore heat loss calculations and enclosure climate control using Rittal Therm and Simaris Design. Dimension fans or air conditioning and generate exportable reports for project documentation.
Key features - software for creating professional circuit diagrams4:02
Discover EPLAN Electric P8, the king of industrial automation design, enabling IEC or NFPA standard schematics, automatic device numbering, 40-plus auto-generated reports, and 2d/3d panel layouts.

Hi,

welcome to my introductory course on industrial automation and electrical design engineering.

If you are planning to look for a job as an electrical design engineer then this course is the best choice to start with.

In this course we are going to cover two main segments:

Industrial refrigeration system
- what is this project all about - customer requirements and key features
- how I was able to design this kind of industrial automation system
- photos of as-built situation of all cabinets:
  - main power infeed cabinet (E-Cu busbars 50x10mm and main circuit breaker)
  - Danfoss softstarters cabinet (they drive 160kW and 132kW screw type compressors)
  - technology cabinet - ca. 100kW of power consumption
  - PLC cabinet (Siemens S7-1500)
Key features of the software I use on a daily basis to be able to design an electrical system for such an application:
1. Simaris Design - power calculation software (where I dimensioned all the protection devices, cables etc.
2. Rittal Therm - software for heat loss calculations and dimensioning of a climate control system inside enclosure (fans, AC)
3. Eplan Electric P8 - software I used to create all the circuit diagrams on a professional engineering level

If you like what you see, enroll in the course and I'll be seeing you in the lectures.

Best regards,

Ivan
