The power cabinet and distribution cabinet belong to the same switchgear, how can they be distinguished?
What is the relationship between "switchgear", "power cabinet", and "distribution cabinet"? In fact, both the power cabinet and the distribution cabinet belong to the switchgear, and both use switches to control power or distribution. So what are the differences between power cabinets and distribution cabinets?
The main function of the distribution cabinet is to distribute electrical energy. Mainly used for control and distribution of electrical equipment, providing protection against overload, short circuit, and leakage of circuits. The distribution cabinet is installed in various places, such as schools, factories, workshops, homes, etc.
Power cabinet refers to a combination of electrical control cabinets that provide power for the normal operation of electrical equipment, including contactors, frequency converters, high-voltage cabinets, transformers, etc.
The difference between power distribution cabinet and power cabinet:
1、 Definition. The box for distributing electrical energy is called a regular distribution cabinet. The power cabinet refers to a combination of electrical control cabinets that provide power for the normal operation of the entire machine, including contactors, frequency converters, high-voltage cabinets, transformers, and so on.
2、 Function. The distribution cabinet controls and distributes electrical equipment, providing protection against overload, short circuit, and leakage of the circuit. The power cabinet supplies power to the electrical equipment (supplies power to the equipment). The electrical equipment (with start stop button) is used for starting and stopping operation. The operation of the detection equipment (with signal indicator and ammeter and voltmeter) is set. The protection electrical equipment (circuit breaker) switchgear is a complete set of switchgear and control equipment. It serves as the power center and main distribution device. Mainly used for control, monitoring, measurement, and protection of power lines and major electrical equipment.
3、 Usage: The power distribution cabinet is installed in various places, such as schools, factories, workshops, households, etc., while the power cabinet electrical box is often installed in substations, distribution rooms, etc.
The above content is about the definition and differentiation of power cabinet and distribution cabinet, hoping to help everyone understand.
