What you'll learn

  • WIRING: Wire color / cross section - represent properly in EPLAN
  • WIRING: Wire color standard including special cases - with examples
  • WIRING: Common wire types used to wire components inside electrical panels
  • WIRING: Short circuit proof cable/conductor - when and why to use it
  • WIRING: External voltage / power supply - special wire color - requirement in some contries (e.g. Germany)
  • WIRING: Ground wire - color IEC/NFPA
  • BUSBARS - how to represent them properly in EPLAN
  • BUSBARS - components necessary to build a 60mm Rittal RiLine60 busbar system
  • BUSBARS - properly dimension busbars for the necessary current consumption
  • BUSBARS - calculate heat loss parameter of a busbar
  • BONUS TREAT - 119 photos of electrical cabinet from real-life international projects
  • BONUS TREAT - Rittal RiLine60 busbar system in 3D in Eplan PRO PANEL

Course content

3 sections11 lectures52m total length
  • How to properly represent a wire cross section / color in EPLAN3:02
  • Color standard for wiring2:41

    Explain color coding for cabinet wiring per the ISIS standard, including black for 400-volt ac phases, red for the phase, neutral blue, and 24-volt dc blue, plus cross-section rules.

  • Most common wire types used to wire components inside panels1:49
  • SPECIAL CASE - Short circuit proof conductor/cable - when and why to use it7:49
  • External power supply / voltage - special wire color (e.g. in Germany)4:17

    Learn to identify external voltage circuits and wire them in orange with short circuit proof cable, tagging terminals with lightning stickers to show energized parts before the main switch.

  • Wire colors for grounding purposes1:01

Requirements

  • Basic knowledge of Eplan Electric P8
  • Basic understanding of electrical engineering components and symbols

Description

Hi,

welcome to my course series where I teach you about basic components and circuits inside and outside electrical cabinets.

This course in particular will cover two basic topics: wiring inside a cabinet and 60mm busbar system.

This course is also real-life oriented, that's why we learn things that will benefit you on your real-life projects, where it doesn't matter whether you work as a designer, panel builder or system integrator that wants to dip his finger into electrical cabinets story a bit.


There are two real treats at the end of the course (last two videos/lessons):

- 119 photos of electrical cabinets from international projects (my partner workshop) - both power and control cabinets, also SIVACON

- RiLine60 busbar system in 3D in Eplan PRO Panel - where we experience in 3D how a 60 mm busbar system looks like in "reality"


The next course that will come out if this workshop of basic components and circuits is going to be a DOL motor starter with in depth analysis so stay tuned for more valuable content.


These are some key point you are going to learn in this course:

  • WIRING: Wire color standard including special cases - with examples

  • WIRING: Short circuit proof cable/conductor - when and why to use it

  • WIRING: Common wire types used to wire components inside electrical panels

  • BUSBARS - components necessary to build a 60mm Rittal RiLine60 busbar system

  • BUSBARS - properly dimension busbars for the necessary current consumption

  • BONUS TREAT - 119 photos of electrical cabinet from real-life international projects

  • BONUS TREAT - Rittal RiLine60 busbar system in 3D in Eplan PRO PANEL


Hope you'll enjoy the course and I'll be seeing you over there!


Best regards and stay safe and well,

Ivan
