ENGINEERING — STEERING BOARDS AND CONTROL PANELS

Steering boards and control panels

Steering boards and control panels are the heart of every electrical installation. Antec specializes in designing and assembling steering boards in its own workshop. Our panel construction and engineering departments work closely together to ensure quality. Steering boards can be designed for new installations, as well as for older installations that need modernization.

Design and quality of steering boards

Our steering boards are built according to the current applicable standards. The components of the system are first analyzed to then provide suitable control. For this, dedicated control panels or freely programmable PLCs are used.

Additionally, Antec places a strong emphasis on the quality of the steering boards; the board undergoes various functional tests before it leaves the workshop. This ensures that your panel is of high quality and safe for use.

What is an electrical control panel

An electrical control panel is an enclosure, usually a metal box or plastic housing, in which important electrical components are placed that control and monitor various mechanical processes. They are activated systems that require regular maintenance, with planned preventive maintenance and condition-based monitoring being the most effective methods.

Electricians need access to the control panels for troubleshooting, adjustments, and electrical safety tests. Operators will use the panel controls to operate and control the installation and the process.

Components within the control panel will facilitate many tasks, such as monitoring pressure or flow in a pipe and signaling to open or close a valve. Control panels are ubiquitous and essential for most industries. Problems, including neglect, can have serious consequences for business operations and endanger the safety of employees.

This makes mastering control panels a valuable skill for both electrical and non-electrical workers.

Components of an electrical control Panel

Electricity poses a common hazard in control panels, with electric shocks, fires, and sparking being major concerns. Control panels are designed according to various standards, depending on the age and country of manufacture. Although the panels look uniform on the outside, the content and internal layout can differ significantly. In addition to electricity, pneumatic and hydraulic energy, as well as stored heat, can also pose significant risks.
