What are the commonly used types of control cabinets

Control cabinet is one of the components of industrial automation and electrical equipment, applied in various mechanical equipment, production lines, and building facilities. Their main function is to centrally control, monitor, and protect electrical equipment.

Common types of control cabinets

1. Distribution cabinet

A distribution cabinet is a device used for distributing electrical energy, with the main functions of receiving power, distributing current, and protecting circuits. In industrial and commercial environments, distribution cabinets are devices that ensure the stable operation of power systems.

2. Control cabinet

The control cabinet is mainly used for centralized control and monitoring of the operating status of electrical equipment. Automated control of equipment is achieved through various control components such as switches, relays, and PLCs (programmable logic controllers). Control cabinets play a role in the development of intelligent manufacturing and automated production.

3. Instrument cabinet

The instrument cabinet is used to install various instrument equipment, such as thermometers, pressure gauges, flow meters, etc. They are usually equipped with the necessary electrical components for monitoring and displaying environmental parameters.

4. Comprehensive protection cabinet

This type of control cabinet is usually used in power systems to protect and monitor equipment such as generators, transformers, and transmission lines. The comprehensive protection cabinet integrates multiple protection functions to ensure the protection and stability of the power system.

5. High and low voltage cabinets

High voltage cabinets are used to receive and distribute high-voltage electrical energy, mainly applied in power substations and industrial high-voltage power supply systems; Low voltage cabinets are used for power distribution and control of low-voltage circuits, suitable for the vast majority of industrial and commercial applications.

6. Automatic control cabinet

Automatic control cabinets are mainly used in automation control systems, commonly in fields such as HVAC and fire protection systems, and can achieve real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of equipment.

7. Explosion proof control cabinet

The explosion-proof control cabinet is designed for use in flammable and explosive environments, using explosion-proof materials and special design to ensure the protection of equipment under harsh conditions.
