CHAPTER 2:- INTERNSHIP
DETAILS
2.1 Motor control starter (Direct on line)
The DOL starters are used for motor having low power ratings. Where the starting
current does not damage the windings of the motor. For applications where the starting
current does not cause huge dips in the line voltage. Direct online starters are used for
small water pumps, conveyor belts, fans and compressors.

In the DOL method of starting a squirrel cage induction motor, the motor is connected to
the full supply voltage through a starter. The direct-on line starter consists of a coil
operated contactor C which is controlled by start (normally open) push button and stop
(normally closed) push button.

The DOL starter has many important parts–the circuit breaker, the contactor, and the
thermal overload relay. The three parts provide overvoltage protection. Due to their use
as protective devices, the components should be selected and sized according to
function.

Fig 2.1:- DOL stater wiring

2.2 Motor control starter(Star-Delta)

11
A star delta starter is the most commonly used method for the starting of a 3 phase induction motor. In star
delta starting an induction motor is connected in through a star connection throughout the starting
period. Then once the motor reaches the required speed, the motor is connected in through a delta
connection. A star delta starter will start a motor with a star connected stator winding. When motor
reaches about 80% of its full load speed, it will begin to run in a delta connected stator winding.

The starting torque of an induction motor is proportional to the square of the voltage applied to the
winding per phase.
Staring Torque in Star Connected Stator Winding Motor
Staring Torque in Delta Connected Stator Winding Motor

= (VL/√3) 2 = 1

VL 3

The equation shows that star delta starter reduces the starting torque to one-third of that produced by DOL
starter. The star-delta starter is equivalent to an autotransformer with a 57.7% tapping.

2.2.1 Advantages of Star Delta Starter


1. Inexpensive
2. No heat is produced, or tap changing device needs to be used, hence efficiency increases.
3. Starting current reduced to 1/3 of direct online starting current.
4. Produce high torque per ampere of line current.

2.2.2 Disadvantages of Star Delta Starter


1. Starting torque is reduced to 1/3 of full load torque.
2. A particular set of motors required.

2.2.3 Application of Star Delta Starter

As discussed in the above advantages and disadvantages, a star delta starter is most suited to applications
where the required starting current is low and where the line current draw must be at a minimum
value. The star delta starter is not suitable for applications where high starting torque delivery is

12
required. For these applications, a

13
DOL starter should be used instead. If the motor is too heavily loaded, there will not be enough torque to
accelerate the motor up to speed before switching over to the delta position. Example application for a star
delta starter is a Centrifugal compressor.

2.3 POWER CONTROL CENTRE (PCC) PANEL


Power Control Centre Panels are used to supervise and control the voltage and power of the power system.
These panels are made of high-quality raw material and are extremely sturdy in fabrication. Main power
instrument panel which consists of feeder breakers and provide breakers, monitoring devices and control
devices. A reputed PCC panel manufacturer read all field data received for electrical power panels are
designing. Power control center Panels are the most essential part of electrical system. An industry from where
the power of the industry is controlled. Perfect Products (India) is widely known for premium quality power
distribution board designed and made consistent with the customer specifications. Best quality switchgear and
bus-bar are used for reliable and efficient performance. Main power control board which consists of feeder
breakers and provide breakers, monitoring devices and control devices. Our offered panel is very recommended
among our clients and widely utilized in various industries.

15
2.3.1 Power Control Center panel Working
The Power Control Center Panel works by combine circuits from several places into a single central hub. This
enables access to the whole electrical connections of a grid, Industry from a single place. The electricity for all
circuits is controlled by a single main power switch in a PCC panel. When the main Circuit Breaker switch is
turned off, the entire electric supply might be temporarily shut down. There are situations, though, when you
may need to manage the power for individual components or places. As a result, each circuit will be divided
into its own switch by a PCC panel. If you need to turn off the electricity in just one part of your business, you
may do so without cutting off the power to other parts of the Industry that needs it. It would be quite risky to
power up your Plant or Commercial Place without a PCC panel. Basically to protect and control power
distribution for large manufacturing unit PCC Panels are used.

2.3.2 Power Control Center panel Using Components:

PCC panels, the apparatus used for controlling switching, and protecting the electrical circuits and equipment is
known as switchgear. Circuit breakers, switch fuse units, switches, off-load isolators, contactors, HRC fuses,
miniature circuit breakers, GFCIs and ELCBs, and other switching devices are all included in the switchgear.
Protection, tripping times and selectivity

16
2.4 Motor Control Centre Panel
The Motor Control Centre Panels, also called MCC Panels are used to control motors from a central point in big
industrial and commercial applications. In many industrial and commercial applications, many electric motors
are required, it is frequently advantageous to control part or all of them from a central place. The motor control
centre is the device designed for this function.
Multiple enclosed sections with common bus bars make up the motor control centres, with each section housing
power contactors, isolators, protection relays, and other control and indication devices.

2.4.1 Motor Control Centre panel Using Components:

A motor control center consists of one or more vertical metal cabinet sections with power bus and provision for
plug-in mounting of individual motor controllers. Very large controllers may be bolted in place but smaller
controllers can be unplugged from the cabinet for testing or maintenance. Each motor controller contains a
contactor or a solid-state motor controller, overload relays to protect the motor, fuses or a circuit breaker to
provide short-circuit protection, and a disconnecting switch to isolate the motor circuit. Three-phase power
enters each controller through separable connectors. The motor is wired to terminals in the controller. Motor
control centers provide wire ways for field control and power cables.

Fig 2.6:- MCC panel

17
2.5 Intelligent Motor Control Centre Panel
Intelligent Motor Control Centre is a smart MCC panel for controlling multiple electric motors simultaneously
at a central location. I MCC consists of multiple feeders with common power as well as combination of
control bus-bars and starters in each section. An intelligent MCC panel is a type of MCC panel with enhanced
functionality using advanced features and a communication enabled motor management system (SIMOCODE)
that monitors other lead processes of the motor through the process control system. The SIMOCODE intelligent
motor control centre (IMCC) acts as the heart of the SIMOCODE motor. It is a pliable, modular motor
management system. In other words, easily and directly connected to the automation system via PROFIBUS or
PROFINET. What's New Now IMCC combines all the necessary security, monitoring, and safety and control
functions into just one compact system. In other words, our custom range of panels are manufactured without
compromising any safety and globe standards as compared to conventional compartmentalized and draw out
panels.

2.5.1 IMCC Panel Application

In Industries where multiple, remotely controlled loads linked to a central control in SCADA and Automation.
Also in industrial plant applications, like HVAC pump, fan loads, mining, and ball mill applications.

2.5.2 Advantages of IMCC Panel

to optimize facility, process and power system performance

Fig 2.7:- IMCC pannel

18
2.6 VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE
The VFD Panel (Variable Frequency drive panel) also known as VFD Control Panel are designed to control the
speed of the electric motor and feed pump. They are widely used in drilling, pumping and other large machine
applications like Conveyor and Compressor.

AC motor speed is controlled in two ways – either by controlling the voltage or frequency. Frequency
controlling gives better control due to constant flux density than voltage control. This is where the working of
VFDs comes to play. It is a power conversion device which converts the fixed voltage, fixed frequency of the
input power to the variable voltage, the variable frequency output to control AC induction motors.

Most of the industrial applications require variable speeds at peak load conditions and constant speeds at
normal operating conditions. Closed loop working of VFDs maintains the speed of the motor at a constant
level, even in case of input and load disturbances.

2.6.1 Variable frequency drive Benefits

and is commonly used in high-voltage electrical distribution systems, particularly in outdoor applications.

2.11.2 Fuses
A fuse is a sacrificial device that melts or vaporizes when an excessive current flows through it, interrupting
the power supply to protect the electrical circuit from damage. Fuses are designed to fail (melt or blow) when
a predetermined current limit is exceeded, disconnecting power to prevent damage to equipment,
conductors, or other components.

1. Cartridge Fuses:

Cartridge fuses are a type of fuse that consists of a cylindrical body (cartridge) containing the fusible element
(usually a thin metal strip). They are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
Cartridge fuses are available in various sizes, shapes, and current ratings.

2. HRC (High Rupturing Capacity) Fuses:

HRC fuses are a type of cartridge fuse designed to handle high fault currents (short circuits) without causing
damage to the fuse holder or surrounding equipment. They are constructed with a special fusible element and
arc-quenching material, allowing them to safely interrupt high fault currents (up to 100 kA or more). HRC
fuses are commonly used in high-voltage applications, such as industrial power distribution, substations, and
transmission systems.

2.11.3 Switches
A switch is an electrical component that controls the flow of electrical current by opening or closing a circuit. It
allows a user to turn a device on or off, or redirect the flow of current. Switches are essential components in
electrical circuits, enabling control over the flow of electricity.

25
1. Toggle Switches:

A toggle switch is a type of switch that has a lever or handle that can be flipped between two positions, often
marked as "on" and "off". When the lever is flipped, it connects or disconnects the circuit, allowing the user to
control the flow of electricity. Toggle switches are commonly used in applications such as lighting, power
tools, and electronic devices.

2. Push Buttons:

A push button is a type of switch that requires a user to press a button to activate the circuit. Push buttons are
often used in applications where a momentary action is required, such as starting a machine, sounding an
alarm, or triggering a relay. There are two main types of push buttons:

- Momentary push buttons: The circuit is only activated while the button is pressed.

- Latching push buttons: The circuit remains activated even after the button is released.

2.11.4 Indicating Instruments


An indicating instrument is a device that displays the value of a physical quantity, such as voltage, current,
temperature, or pressure, in a visual format, like a meter or gauge. Indicating instruments provide a way to
monitor and measure various parameters in electrical circuits, machines, and processes.

1. Ammeter:

An ammeter is a type of indicating instrument that measures the current (in amperes) flowing through an
electrical circuit. It is typically connected in series with the circuit to be measured.

2. Voltmeter:

A voltmeter is a type of indicating instrument that measures the voltage (in volts) across an electrical circuit.
It is typically connected in parallel with the circuit to be measured.

3. Motor Protection Device (MPD):

A Motor Protection Device (MPD) is a specialized electrical device designed to protect motors from various
types of faults, such as overloads, overcurrents, overheating, and phase imbalance. MPDs can detect these
faults and interrupt the power supply to prevent damage to the motor. They often include features like
thermal overload protection, short-circuit protection, and phase-loss protection.

2.11.5 Contactors
A contactor is an electrical device that uses a low-power signal to control a higher-power circuit. It's essentially
a relay, but designed for heavier loads and higher currents. Contactors are commonly used in industrial and
commercial applications to control motors, lighting, and other loads

1. A low-power signal (typically from a control circuit or PLC) is applied to the contactor's coil.
26
2. The coil energizes, causing the contactor's contacts to close.

3. When the contacts close, they connect the higher-power circuit, allowing current to flow to the load (e.g., a
motor).

4. When the low-power signal is removed, the coil de-energizes, and the contacts open, disconnecting the
load from the power source.

2.11.6 Relay
A relay is an electrical device that uses a low-power signal to control a higher-power circuit. It's essentially
an electrically operated switch that allows a low-power signal to switch a higher-power circuit on or off.

Control Relay:

A control relay is a type of relay used to control various electrical circuits, such as lighting, heating, or
motor control. It receives a low-power signal from a control device, like a PLC or timer, and uses it to
switch the higher-power circuit on or off.

Overload Relay:

An overload relay is a protective device that detects excessive current in a circuit and interrupts the power
supply to prevent damage from overloading. It monitors the current flow and trips (opens) the circuit
when the current exceeds a predetermined value, protecting the circuit and connected equipment from
damage.

Earth Leakage Relay (ELR):

An Earth Leakage Relay (ELR) is a safety device that detects earth leakage current (current leaking to
ground) in a circuit and interrupts the power supply to prevent electrical shock or damage. It monitors the
leakage current and trips (opens) the circuit when the current exceeds a predetermined value, ensuring
personnel safety and equipment protection.

2.11.7 Timers
Timers in a panel are devices that control the duration of electrical circuits or events. They are used
to automate various processes, sequences, and safety features in industrial, commercial, and
residential applications. Here are some common types of timers used in panels:

1. On-Delay Timer (TON): Turns on a circuit after a set delay period.

2. Off-Delay Timer (TOF): Turns off a circuit after a set delay period.

3. Interval Timer (INT): Turns on and off a circuit at set intervals.

4. Repeat Cycle Timer (RCT): Repeats a set sequence of on and off periods.

27
5. Retarder Timer (RET): Delays the turn-off of a circuit after the input signal has been removed.

28
2.11.8 Busbar
A busbar is a metallic bar or strip within an electrical panel that conducts electricity and provides a common
connection point for multiple circuits. It's a vital component in electrical distribution systems, allowing for
efficient and safe power distribution.

In a panel, busbars are typically made of copper or aluminum and are mounted on insulators to prevent
electrical shock. They can be arranged horizontally, vertically, or in a combination of both, depending on
the panel's design and application.

1. Top Entry Busbar:

In a top entry busbar, the electrical conductors (wires or cables) are connected to the busbar from the top
side of the panel. This means that the wires or cables enter the panel through the top and are then
connected to the busbar.

2. Bottom Entry Busbar:

In a bottom entry busbar, the electrical conductors are connected to the busbar from the bottom side of the
panel. This means that the wires or cables enter the panel through the bottom and are then connected to
the busbar.

2.12 Safety Standard in company


A safety standard is a set of guidelines, rules, or specifications that outline the minimum requirements for
ensuring safety in a particular context, such as an electrical workshop. Safety standards aim to protect
individuals from harm, injury, or illness by providing a framework for safe practices, procedures, and
equipment use.

- Insulated gloves: These are designed to protect against electrical shock.

- Arc flash gloves: These are designed to protect against electrical shock and arc flashes.

- Insulated matting: These are used in high-voltage areas and can be found in switchboards and transformers.

- Safety glasses: These are designed to protect the eyes from debris and other hazards.

- Earplugs: These are designed to protect the ears from excessive noise levels.

- Insulated tools: These are designed to protect against electrical shock.

- Arc flash face shields: These are designed to protect the face from arc flashes.

- Arc flash coveralls: These are designed to protect the body from arc flashes.

- Flame-resistant clothing: These are designed to reduce the risk of burns from arc flashes or fires.

29
2.13 Selection of Busbar
The selection of a busbar in a panel depends on several factors, including:

1. Current rating: The busbar must be able to handle the maximum current required by the panel.

2. Voltage rating: The busbar must be suitable for the voltage rating of the panel.

3. Material: Busbars are typically made from copper, aluminum, or silver-plated copper. Copper is the most
common choice due to its high conductivity and durability.

4. Size and shape: The busbar size and shape must fit the panel's dimensions and layout.

5. Insulation: The busbar must be properly insulated to prevent electrical shock and short circuits.

6. Flexibility: The busbar may need to be flexible to accommodate panel movements or vibrations.

7. Corrosion resistance: The busbar material must be resistant to corrosion, especially in harsh environments.

8. Cost: The busbar selection must balance cost with performance and safety requirements.

The width of a busbar can be calculated using the following formula:

Width (W) = (Current (I) x 0.8) / (Conductor Material Constant (K) x Voltage (V))

Where:

- Current (I) is the maximum current expected to flow through the busbar

- Conductor Material Constant (K) is a value specific to the busbar material (e.g., copper, aluminum)

- Voltage (V) is the voltage rating of the busbar

For example, for a copper busbar with a current rating of 100A and a voltage rating of 240V:

Width (W) = (100A x 0.8) / (55 x 240V) ≈ 12.7mm

This calculation provides a minimum recommended width for the busbar. However, other factors like
thermal considerations, mechanical strength, and manufacturing limitations may require a wider busbar.

30
2.14 Automation in Panel
Automation control panels are one of the most important pieces of equipment for any industrial facility. We
all know that machines and equipment across the industrial, manufacturing, and commercial sectors are
getting automated. At the same time, such automation must be monitored. That is where automation control
panels come into the picture.

2.14.1 What are the features and purpose of automation control panels?

They are used to monitor and control heavy-duty and large-scale machinery in industrial and commercial
applications. Automation control panels can perform both simple and complex processes by employing relays,
timers, sensors, starters, and controllers. The main advantage of automation control panels is that they
provide more control over the industrial equipment in a facility. One can enjoy the comfort of a hands-free
approach and experience high efficiency, functionality, and flexibility with automation control panels.

Convenient systems are everyone’s favorite. That is exactly what automation control panels offer. They offer
flexibility in modification of logic, have a reduced frame, and provide an edge over control of the various
automated equipment in the facility. They will also help in accomplishing tasks efficiently and with
impressive speed.

2.14.2 Types Of Automation Control Panels

Sectors that rely on consistent productivity and production greatly benefit from using automation control
panels. Industries belonging to manufacturing, mining, agriculture are only a few such sectors that rely heavily
on automation control panels. There are many varieties of automation control panels. PLC automation control
panels are of reduced size, flexible to use, are user-friendly, and are most reliable and efficient than other
convention automation control panels.

2.17 Costing and Estimation


Costing and Estimation are very crucial for the growth and development of an industry as it determines the
overall cost of an project. JATSON has an dedicated team for the Estimation of the panel.

Estimation teams conduct various meeting with the client and also pay visit to the site where the installation
of the panel is to be made and also understands the special requirement of the client . After that they
conduct meeting with different departments within the organization like(production, design ,purchase etc )
then comeup with the final decision about the estimation of the panel.

The art of cost estimation lies at the heart of every successful venture, shaping competitiveness and
ensuring profitability. As control panel manufacturers grapple with an array of factors from material costs
to labor and overhead, breaking down the numbers becomes a meticulous process that demands both
expertise and a systematic approach.

2.17.1 Understanding the Foundations: Key Components of Cost Estimation


 Material Costs:
 The foundation of any control panel is laid with its materials. Breaking down
material costs involves a keen understanding of the pricing dynamics of
components such as wiring, connectors, and circuit breakers. Manufacturers must
track market fluctuations, explore cost-effective alternatives, and establish a robust
system for inventory management

 Labor Intensity:
 Control panel assembly is a labor-intensive process encompassing tasks like wiring,
mounting, and testing. Estimating labor hours requires an in-depth analysis of the
project’s complexity, the skill set of the workforce, and the potential for automation.
Recognizing the nuances of labor intensity is pivotal for an accurate breakdown of
costs.

 Overhead Allocation:
 Beyond direct costs, allocating overhead expenses is a critical aspect of cost
estimation. Facility costs, utilities, and administrative expenses must be distributed
fairly across projects. A systematic approach to overhead allocation ensures that
each project bears its proportionate share of indirect costs.

36
2.17.2 Best Practices for a Precise Estimation Process
 Detailed Project Scoping:
 Thorough project scoping is fundamental for precise cost estimation.
Manufacturers need to understand client requirements, delve into the intricacies of
control panel designs, and anticipate any unique challenges that could impact costs.
A comprehensive project scope lays the groundwork for accurate estimations.
 Utilizing Historical Data:
 Historical data serves as a compass for cost estimations. Analyzing data from past
projects helps manufacturers identify patterns, learn from experiences, and
establish benchmarks. This iterative process enables continuous improvement
and enhances the accuracy of future estimates.
 Collaborative Cross-Functional Approach:
 Cost estimation is a collective effort that extends beyond the finance department.
Collaboration between engineering, production, and procurement teams is
essential. By gathering insights from different functional areas, manufacturers
ensure a holistic approach that considers all aspects of a project.

2.18 Panel Designing


Panel designing plays a vital role in reducing the overall cost of an project . thus an specific team makes
design of the panel using varios software such as.

-E3.panel: A software that allows users to layout components inside electrical panel enclosures in both 2D
and 3D. It also allows users to navigate between the panel and schematic and changes to either are
immediately reflected.

- Control Panel Design by Siemens Xcelerator : A software that allows users to design the main and control
current components and the power supplies with just a few clicks. It also provides a correct short-circuit
calculation and cable dimensioning.

Cost is always important, but so is an attractive appearance, simple operator controls and reliable
operation. Simple panel designs are less expensive to produce and easier to operate and maintain.It helps
when you understand design is a process. Often you think you know exactly what you want when you get
started and find you want something different when you’re done. When you first put your design
requirements on paper they seem unorganized. That’s normal. No one gets everything right in one pass.
Design is a process and it takes time to get it right. Rewrite your requirements until they’re properly
organized and clear. Understand what you want, write it down using clear language, then proceed with the
actual hardware design.

37
2.18.1 Start physical
Good control panel design includes physical and electrical requirements. Don’t shortcut the design process
and produce schematic drawings without producing physical layout drawings. Alternate between the physical
and electrical until all potential problems have been solved.

Good control panel design includes accurate physical layout drawings and schematic drawings. This minimizes
problems and delivery delays due to unresolved physical layout problems discovered during production or
testing.
Include National Electric Code (NEC) required clearance for power wiring and Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
required clearance around heat producing devices.

 NEC requires bending radius clearance for incoming and outgoing power connections to insure
the installing electrician has adequate room to make their power connections,
 UL requires manufacturer recommended clearance for heat producing devices
(Programmable Logic Controllers, Variable Frequency Drives, etc.) to insure for adequate
room for ventilation.

Fig 2.15:- Design of circuit

2.18.2 Analysing the power circuit


Identify each power circuit and determine the required wire size and circuit protection. The right wire size
insures the circuit can deliver the required load current. The right circuit protection insures the wiring doesn’t
overheat and start a fire.

 Select power wire size based on load current


 Select power circuit protection based on wire size.
Then determine the best power component type to use based on function and select the right size based
on voltage and load current. The right type insures it’ll function as desired and the right size insures it’ll
reliably handle the load.

38
Fig 2.16 :- power circuit

2.18.3 Use the best control type


Always start with simple control components (Relays, Timers, etc.) When simple does’t get the job done, use
something with more functionality like a programmable Smart Relay or a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
These provide significantly more functionality, but they also require a computer and programming software
and someone who knows how to program the desired functionality.

2.18.4 Use the best operator device type


Always start with simple operator devices (Pushbuttons, Pilot Lights, Digital Panel Meters, etc.). For a stylish
appearance add a Color Graphic door laminate. When simple does’t get the job done, use a color touch screen
display as the Human Machine Interface (HMI). This provides significantly more functionality, but it also
requires a computer and programming software and someone who knows how to program the desired
functionality.
Some control panel designers start with a Human Machine Interface (HMI). Sometimes an HMI is the way to
go, but you should always use the simplest operator device type appropriate to the application.

2.18.5 use the best in class products by category


Experienced control panel designers use the best in class products by product category. This is subjective
based on product awareness. Experienced control panel designers are aware of the array of products available
in a product category. This allows them to compare and use products that provide the best balance of price,
form and function.
Some control panel designers try to use one manufacturer for all components in a panel. European companies
tend to do this and some US companies do too. Sometimes there’s a reason why this makes sense, but
generally it limits your ability to use best in class products by product category.
