Switch cabinet empty

You still don't know which control cabinet to buy? You are not sure about the choice of size, materials and equipment? You will find the right control cabinet for your needs in this eibabo® catalogue. The control cabinet is the heart of an electrical installation. This is where all wires 'literally' come together.

What is a switch cabinet?

The control cabinet is a protected storage place for electrical devices and switchgear. This serves to ensure the safety of the devices and the people who work with them. A control cabinet contains, among other things, circuit breakers, fuses, relays, measuring devices and control devices. In addition, electricity meters, multimedia connections or power supplies can be installed in them. Control cabinets are usually differentiated according to design, size and function. The area of application of a control cabinet is often determined by its IP protection class (ingress protection). This indicates how well a control cabinet is protected against foreign objects and moisture. Most control cabinets are made of metal or plastic. Metal control cabinets are the best choice when it comes to security. Plastic cabinets are less robust and more likely to be damaged in the event of a fire. These are preferably used as terminal housings / terminal boxes for sub-distributions.

What are the differences between the individual control cabinets?

Control cabinets differ primarily in their design and location. Floor-standing control cabinets are designed for installation on the floor. They have a high load capacity and are ideal for heavy installations. Most floor-standing control cabinets have a double floor to ensure optimal ventilation. Wall switch cabinets are mounted on the wall or recessed from the floor to the middle between 1.10 m and 1.85 m. You will often find add-on control cabinets in server rooms. These are designed to be mounted side by side. Cabinets within a row do not have side panels. This saves space and simplifies installation across multiple cabinets. Their structure ensures optimal cooling of the installed devices.

 


TIP:

You can have special control cabinets for complex requirements made individually with additional cut-outs, bores, ventilation or viewing windows.


 

Terminal boxes are usually smaller than control cabinets. Depending on the place of use, they are used to accommodate cables or lines and are particularly space-saving. Outdoor control cabinets are specially designed for outdoor use and are particularly resistant to the effects of the weather. These are often used in industrial plants or on construction sites. Corrosive environmental conditions can prevail in the pharmaceutical and food industries. You should therefore choose particularly robust materials such as stainless steel for such locations. These are especially suitable for use under difficult conditions.

What is the function of a control cabinet?

A control cabinet protects the electrical and electronic equipment inside. Dust and water should be kept away. In addition, sufficient cooling of the installation should be ensured to prevent overheating. The control cabinet itself must also be designed in such a way that it protects against external influences such as vandalism. A control cabinet usually has a modular structure. An individual subdivision into power ranges and control ranges is ensured by mounting rails and mounting plates. In addition to a flexible structure, these also enable simple maintenance and repairs. The components must be arranged within the control cabinet in such a way that no electromagnetic or mechanical influences occur.

A control cabinet shields the installation from electromagnetic emissions from its environment. Control cabinets are usually closed so that nobody can accidentally come into contact with the installations. In addition, a control cabinet is used for fire protection inside and outside. Controlling the current flow is also an important task of a control cabinet. It may be necessary to regulate or switch off the flow of electricity in certain areas of the network, for example when a device needs to be repaired or replaced. This ensures that just the right amount of current is flowing and that there is no danger to equipment or people.

Is the temperature in my control cabinet correct?

The temperature in the control cabinet is an important factor for the function of the components installed in it. However, it is not only the temperature itself that is important, but its constancy. Extreme fluctuations damage the electronic components. In general, one speaks of an optimal average temperature of 25°C. If there are larger fluctuations, condensate can form. This may impair the function of the installed devices. Thus, the average temperature is not a reliable guide. You should make sure that the temperature remains as constant as possible. If this is slightly higher than the room temperature, this usually does not damage the installation. On the contrary: the evaporation of moisture is promoted. Most of the components in the control cabinet are designed for an operating temperature of up to 50°C. In order not to impair the service life, a temperature of more than 35°C should not be exceeded permanently.

What should you consider when choosing a control cabinet?

Choosing the right control cabinet depends on numerous factors. Control cabinets are available in a variety of sizes, designs and price ranges and can be used for different purposes. Ask yourself the following questions:

  • In which environment will the control cabinet be installed? This affects the material and the IP protection class.
  • Is it a private system or a complex installation? The size of the closet depends on that.
  • What meters and devices will be installed and how many?
  • Will the cabinet be installed in a public or semi-public area? Then it should be lockable.
  • Who should be granted access to the control cabinet?
  • Is an alarm system necessary?
  • Should the operating conditions be monitored (temperature, humidity)?
  • Is air conditioning necessary?
  • Is a smoke detector or extinguishing system necessary?
  • and much more

 

Notice

Control cabinets are not indestructible and can be damaged by vandalism, improper handling or extremely high temperatures. Therefore, when buying, you should pay attention to its suitability for the intended purpose.
