What are switchgear cabinets?

Switchboards are indispensable components of many electrical systems. They function as the heart of the machine to manage the power supply to various devices and protect against overloads. The control cabinets contain safety switches that mechanically shut down in the event of an electrical fault, improving safety. Switchboards are also adaptable and expandable according to a company’s specific requirements, making them both reliable and adaptable.

The contribution of RFID identification during switchgear commissioning

RFID technology, or Radio Frequency Identification, is becoming increasingly popular for switchgear commissioning. RFID labels can be applied to control cabinet components so that each component can be quickly identified and checked. This makes detecting any problems during installation and commissioning much easier and also provides a more streamlined approach. In addition, RFID tags can be used to store information about the switch box, such as the model and serial number, which can be used in the future. To give an example, process-safe identification with the UHF RFID control is used for identification on injection nozzles, identification of liquids and identification of chocolate. The RFID solution is further deployed for detection in bottle identification and hose connector identification. By using RFID remote sensing during switchgear commissioning, companies can ensure that their systems are correctly installed and working properly.

Implementation

Connecting the cables

For the functionality and safety of any electronic device, it is essential to connect the proper cords. This ensures that power and data are transmitted accurately and quickly between different machines. It is necessary to choose the right cables for the exact device and installation you are performing. Failure to adhere to proper connection methods may result in substandard performance, malfunctions or even destruction of the device.

Installing the components

Component installation is an essential step when rebuilding, repairing or upgrading a product or the entire system. Precise, efficient and fast installation is critical to avoid problems and confirm that the product or system is working experimentally. Whether you’re a skilled technician or want to enter the business as someone who just performs tasks, our manuals provide step-by-step explanations and visual aids to help you with every installation.

Testing and checking the connections

Testing and machinery quality control monitoring of connections is an essential part of installing or safely maintaining electronic devices. It ensures that everything is connected efficiently and working as expected before the device is put into service. It also prevents potential problems in the future, such as malfunctions or even damage to the device. Moreover, it gives you the assurance that the machine is operating accurately and safely.

Factory Acceptance Test (FAT).

The Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) is an important step in the commissioning of control cabinets. It is made to ensure that all components work accurately and that the cabinet meets the expectations of the project. The FAT includes a series of tests, including ocular examination, electrical examination and functional assessments. Once these investigations are successfully completed, the cabinet can be approved by the customer and put into service.

The System Acceptance Test (SAT).

The System Acceptance Test (SAT) is the final phase in the commissioning of switchgear cabinets. It is carried out to ensure that each element works correctly and that the unit meets consumer expectations. The SAT involves a sequence of tests, including visual examination, electrical assessments and operational assessments. Once these investigations are successfully completed, the cabinet can be confirmed by the buyer and put into use.
