INTRODUCTION
CONTROL PANEL: - A control panel is a flat, often vertical, area where control or
monitoring instruments are displayed. They are found in factories to monitor and control
machines or production lines and in places such as nuclear power plants, ships, and aircraft and
mainframe computers. Older control panels are most often equipped with push buttons and analog
instruments, whereas nowadays in many cases touch screens are used for monitoring and control
purposes.
Electrical control systems are used on everything from simple pump controls to car washes, to
complex chemical processing plants. Automation of machine tools, material handling/conveyor
systems, mixing processes, assembly machines, metal processing, textile processing and more has
increased productivity and reliability in all areas of manufacturing, utilities and material
processing

STAR DELTA CONTROL PANEL

Star Delta Control Panels are used for switching three-phase AC motors with very high inrush
current. BOPARAI Star/D Control Panel connects the motor to the power supply with a starting
delay of 10 to 45 sec through a voltage reduction method and increases the applied voltage in steps
by changing star to delta position automatically. Designed with utmost precision, this product is
perfectly meets the international quality standards. Manufactured using optimum quality raw
material and the latest technology, this undergoes defined tests to make sure its flawless
performance. Two types of Contactors are used in these panels. BOPARAI DC Contactors are of
Air-Break type runs on 30 to 35 VDC. These contactors provides silent and chatter-free operations
even at low voltages and BOPARAI AC Contactors are also of Air-Break type runs on 240 to 415
VAC. Parts of these contactors are easily accessible for cleaning, setting and replacement. . The
contacts used in contactors are of high quality Silver Cadmium Oxide that provides long life and
millions of trouble free operations.

CABLES, WIRING &CIRCUIT

In electrical systems, cables are used for carrying electrical currents. Most times core of these cables are
made of copper or Aluminum to conduct current with minimum voltage drop. Most cables have a protective
insulation to protect the cable & also to protect living beings from dangerous voltages. Types of cables are
differ according to the,
1. Current go through (cable size)
2. Purpose they are used
3. Place (indoor or outdoor)
4. Protection level required
5. Etc.
Mainly the cable types can be categorized to below groups.
1.

General Cables (cables which are used for general purposes)

2.

Flexible Cables

3.

Aluminum Cables (Bare conductors)

4.

Armored Cables

5.

Unarmored Cables

6.

Auto Cables

7.

Coaxial Cables

8.

Telecommunication Cables

CABLE SPECIFICATION
As previously said types of cables that are used is differs from various reasons. Generally bare
conductors are used for the transmission & distribution of low, medium & high voltage. Armored &
unarmored cables are used for the distribution of electricity with in cities, factories & buildings.
They are directly laid in ground where excessive mechanical stresses likely to occur. Though the
armored cables dont need any excess protection, unarmored cables must be provided some
additional protection. Other major type of cable used in low voltage distribution in rural & semi
urban areas is ABC (Arial Bundled Conductors) Cables. These are only few things about cables

FIG:- A

FIG:- C

FIG:-E

FIG:- B

FIG:- D

FIG:- F

From above figures (A,B,C,D,E,F ) it can be seen that some cables are consists of several strands. It can be
observed that though the cables have same cross sectional area if the number of strands of cable is higher
than the other it can carries a larger current than other one. This incident happens because of electrons.
Normally charges (here electrons) stays in the surface of any conductive element. The numbers of strands are
increased means that the surface area of the cable is increased. That means it can take more electrons
(current). So, than other cables of same size flexible cables can take larger currents.

SELECTION OF CABLES

Voltage Drop
Voltage drop is the reduction in voltage in an electrical circuit between the source and load. When a cable is
being selected for taking current for a specified machine, as per IEEE regulations it is required to have the
voltage drop of the cable less than 4% of the nominal supply. This voltage drop must be included all the
voltage drops in series. That means maximum permissible voltage drop of a cable must be 4%. The factors
affecting for the voltage drop ate,
1. Resistance of the cable for 1m length (Voltage drop for 1m- [v/Am]) - Vc
2. Rated current of the cable (or carrying current) - I
3. Length of the cable - L
So Voltage drop of the cable (Vd) can be calculated as,
Vd= ILVc

De-rating Factors
All the cables in the market are marked for a current that it can carry under standard conditions. But always
these standard conditions cannot be kept practically, in a construction. So if a cable is selected according to
the requirements (current) according to our assemble method there can be variations of current. The factors
that are affecting for above variations are called as de-rating factors. They are,
1. Ambient temperature
2. Ground temperature
3. Depth of lying
4. Soil Thermal resistivity
So if a cable is being selected, we must consider de-rating factors which are mentioned in cable catalogues.

STEP OF CALCULATING TH E CABLE FOR A GIVEN LOAD

Let, we are given to calculate suitable cable size for a machine which have known power consumption,
Known input voltage. And also the distance from power supply to load (L) is provided then

Using the given data, calculate the load current I.

Select a wire that is a little bigger to carry I (I wire > I)

Then multiply the rated current of selected wire with all the de-rating factors.

Find whether,
I wire x de-rating factors < I

If so select next bigger wire size. If not select that wire

Then calculate the voltage drop of wire & nominal voltage drop & see whether it is ok.

Approximated Current Ratings According to the Wire Size

Current ratings for wires differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, though they are almost similar. Below
shows the approximated current ratings for given wire sizes under standard conditions.

According to these current ratings appropriate earth cables have to be selected. According to IEC
regulations, selection of protective earth cable is as follows.

RING CIRCUITS &OTHER SPECIAL CIRCUITS

RING CIRCUIT
Ring circuit is provided two independent conductors for live, neutral and protective earth within a building
for each connected load or socket. This design enables the use of smaller-diameter wire than would be used
in a radial circuit of equivalent total current. Ideally, the ring acts like two radial circuits proceeding in
opposite directions around the ring, the dividing point between them dependent on the distribution of load in
the ring. If the load is evenly split across the two directions, the current in each direction is half of the total,
allowing the use of wire with half the current-carrying capacity. In practice, the load does not always split
evenly, so thicker wire is used.
Another advantage of ring circuits was an economy of cable and labor, as one could connect a cable between
two existing 15 A radially wired sockets to make one 30 A ring, then adding as many sockets as were
desired. This would leave the ring supplied by two 15 A fuses, which worked well enough in practice, even
if unconventional.
Rules for ring circuits say that the cable rating must be no less than two thirds of the rating of the protective
device. This means that the risk of sustained overloading of the cable can be considered minimal. In practice,
however, it is extremely uncommon to encounter a ring with a protective device other than a 30 A fuse. The
IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) permit an unlimited number of socket outlets to be installed on a ring
circuit, provided that the floor area served does not exceed 100 m2. In practice, most small and medium
houses have one ring circuit per storey, with larger premises having more.
Ring circuits can have extra sockets added to them by adding a 'spur' onto a ring circuit. A spur is a branch
off the ring circuit, usually from an existing circuit, although a junction box could also be used. Theoretically
as many spurs as sockets could be added, but the maximum load of the circuit (30/32amp) still exists). To
extend a spur further more a fuse must be connected. The rating of the fuse is decided according to the power
factor & the number of socket outlets.

CONVERTING 4 POLE MCCB FOR A SINGLE PHASE SUPPLY

The protective equipments which is having over current protection, sometimes dont activate for an over
current in one line only. It only activates if over current goes through all 3 phases. In this case, if we wire an
over current relay or a thermal magnetic MCCB by using only 2 poles the protection system may not work
properly. To avoid this case it is wired as below.

Fig Wiring Diagram of Single Phase AC Supply to a 3 Phase MCCB

This connection allows equal heating in all 3 phases in case of a over current in the provided phase.

BIMETAL LUGS
Whenever aluminium cable is to be terminated on copper bus bar or copper contact, if aluminium lug is used
then contact between terminal lug and copper bus bar being of dissimilar metals, galvanic action takes place.
Also if copper lug is used then contact between aluminium cable and barrel of copper terminal lug is of
dissimilar metal and hence the galvanic action takes place. In order to prevent dissimilar contact and to avoid
galvanic action it is always advisable to use copper aluminium Bi-Metal lugs.
In Bi-Metal lugs barrel of the lug is of aluminium and the head or palm of the lug is of copper. This ensures
contact between aluminium cables to terminal lug is of aluminium and contact between terminal lug to
copper bus bar or contact is of copper. Thus contact between dissimilar metal is avoided and contact between
similar metal is established. Thus Bi-Metallic or galvanic action is completely eliminated and hence durable
joint is achieved.
Electrolytic copper head / palm is friction welded to electrolytic aluminium barrel. At the interface, copper
molecules and aluminium molecules intermingles with each other and form durable bond. Similarly if

aluminium cable is to be joined with copper cable then Bi-Metal in line connectors are to be used. Here for
aluminium cable aluminium barrel is provided and for copper cable copper barrel is provided. Copper and
aluminium barrels are friction welded. Depending upon application Bi-Metal terminals, in line connectors,
pin type connectors etc are manufactured.

IP PROTECTION (INGRESS PROTECTION) OF A PANEL

A two-digit number established by the International Electro Technical Commission is used to provide an
Ingress Protection rating to a piece of electronic equipment or to an enclosure for electronic equipment. The
protection class after EN60529 is indicated by short symbols that consist of the two code letters IP and a
code numeral for the amount of the protection.

Denoted by:- IP XX (e.g. IP 54)

The two digits represent different forms of environmental influence:

The first digit represents protection against ingress of solid objects.
The second digit represents protection against ingress of liquids.

The larger value of each digit, the greater the protection. As an example, a product rated IP54 would be
better protected against environmental factors than another similar product rated as IP42. IP rating tables are
as below.

IP First number :- Protection against ingress of solid object

No special protection

Protected against solid objects up to 50 mm, e.g. accidental touch by

persons hands.

Protected against solid objects up to 12 mm, e.g. persons fingers.

Protected against solid objects over 2.5 mm (tools and wires).

Protected against solid objects over 1 mm (tools, wires, and small wires).

Protected against dust limited ingress (no harmful deposit).

Totally protected against dust.

Table 5.1 IP Protection against Solid Bodies

IP Second Number Protection against liquid

0

No protection.

Protection against vertically falling drops of water e.g. condensation.

Protection against direct sprays of water up to 15o from the vertical.

Protected against direct sprays of water up to 60o from the vertical.

Protection against water sprayed from all directions - limited ingress permitted.

Protected against low pressure jets of water from all directions - limited ingress.

Protected against temporary flooding of water, e.g. for use on ship decks - limited ingress
permitted.

Protected against the effect of immersion between 15 cm and 1 m.

Protects against long periods of immersion under pressure.

Table IP Protection against Liquid

According to above two charts it can be seen that there must be some ways to increase the protection of a
panel Board. They are,

Equal thickness of powder coating according to the standards Insulate enclosure to prevent hazards
up to some level in case of a fault condition

Doors for panel boards with properly assembled & earthed

Cover plates which are tailor made for the panel provides additional protection after door is opened

Insulation of the Bus bars & Perspex sheets provides additional protection after cover plates are
removed

Panel earthing to ground in case of fault current

To decrease the starting current cage motors of medium and larger sizes are started at a reduced supply
voltage. The reduced supply voltage starting is applied in the Star Delta methods. This is applicable to
motors designed for delta connection in normal running conditions. Both ends of each phase of the stator
winding are brought out as six terminals. For starting, the stator windings are connected in star and when the
machine is running the switch is thrown quickly to the running position by automatically (It can be done
manually also), thus connecting the motor in delta for normal operation. The power diagram of Star Delta
starter is shown below.

When the motor is started in the star connection, the phase voltage of the motor is reduced by a factor of
3. The starting line current of the motor will be reduced to a 1/3 value of DOL Delta starting. And
ultimately power of the motor will be reduced to a factor of 1/3. A disadvantage of this method is that the
starting torque (which is proportional to the square of the applied voltage) is also reduced to 1/3 of its delta
value.

Note that all six terminals of the motor are connected to wires. No copper bars are used to configure the
Delta connection; it is automatically done by the contactors according to the control circuit. At the starting
moment, line contactor & star contactor are energized. After a time delay while star contactor is being deenergized, the Delta contactor will be energized & work as a DOL Delta motor. The control circuit of star
delta starter is as below.
