HT 01 / 07
HIGH TENSION PANELS & SWITCHGEAR
Control and protection
at the incoming supply.
HT panels manage incoming supply, feeder switching and transformer protection on the higher-voltage side of a distribution system. The assembly brings switching devices, protection relays, metering and interlocking into the project scheme.
Key decisions
- Rated voltage, insulation level, fault duty and incomer, outgoing feeder or bus-coupler arrangement.
- Circuit-breaker selection, including vacuum circuit breakers where specified, with relay protection and current/voltage transformer requirements.
- Earthing and interlocking arrangements, compartment access and any required internal-arc classification.
- Utility interface, transformer coordination, cable terminations and control-power requirements.
- Typical applications
- Industrial facilities, commercial developments, substations and infrastructure
- Start the discussion with
- SLD, supply voltage, fault level, transformer data, utility requirements and protection scheme

PCC 02 / 07
MAIN LT & POWER CONTROL CENTRES
The starting point
of your power system.
Main low tension and Power Control Centre panels bring incoming supplies, switching, protection and metering into a coordinated distribution assembly.
Key decisions
- Incomer and outgoing feeder configuration, with metering and protection requirements.
- Busbar arrangement, fault-withstand requirements and provision for future circuits.
- Cable entry, installation access and the space available in the electrical room.
- Typical applications
- Factories, commercial buildings and large facilities
- Start the discussion with
- Single-line diagram, load schedule, fault level and incoming supply details

MCC 03 / 07
MOTOR CONTROL CENTRES
Control at the heart
of every operation.
Motor Control Centre panels organise the switching, protection and control of multiple motors, with starter arrangements selected for the connected equipment.
Key decisions
- Direct-on-line, star-delta, soft-starter or drive-based arrangements, as appropriate.
- Local and remote operation, interlocking, status indication and control supply.
- Motor protection, feeder segregation and access for planned maintenance.
- Typical applications
- Production lines, pumps, HVAC and utility systems
- Start the discussion with
- Motor list, ratings, starting methods and operating sequence

APFC 04 / 07
AUTOMATIC POWER-FACTOR CORRECTION
A considered approach
to reactive power.
APFC panels switch capacitor stages to manage reactive power. Selection starts with the load profile, target power factor and harmonic conditions at your site.
Key decisions
- Required compensation and capacitor-step arrangement based on the measured load.
- Harmonic conditions and whether a detuned solution is appropriate.
- Controller, switching arrangement, ventilation and protection requirements.
- Typical applications
- Facilities with significant inductive loads
- Start the discussion with
- Load measurements, power-factor data and harmonic study where applicable

ATS 05 / 07
AMF & AUTOMATIC TRANSFER
Plan for the moment
the source changes.
AMF and ATS arrangements coordinate changeover between utility and backup supplies. Generator start commands, interlocking and transfer logic depend on the project scheme.
Key decisions
- Utility and generator interface, source priority and the intended transfer sequence.
- Mechanical and electrical interlocking, indication and manual operation.
- Acceptable interruption and the separate UPS requirements of critical loads.
- Typical applications
- Hotels, hospitals, offices and industrial facilities
- Start the discussion with
- Source ratings, generator details, transfer sequence and interlock requirements

DB 06 / 07
SUB-MAIN & FINAL DISTRIBUTION
Power, right where
it needs to be.
Sub-Main Distribution Boards and final distribution boards organise power across floors, areas and outgoing circuits, with protection selected to suit the installation.
Key decisions
- Outgoing circuit schedule, protective devices and circuit identification.
- Mounting, cable access and the required degree of enclosure protection.
- Spare ways, load balancing and coordination with the upstream distribution.
- Typical applications
- Offices, retail, residential developments and institutions
- Start the discussion with
- Circuit schedule, incoming rating, protection requirements and spare ways

VFD 07 / 07
VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES & CONTROL
Bring the process
under control.
Drive and control panels bring motor-speed control and process logic into a project-specific assembly. The right arrangement depends on the application and its control requirements.
Key decisions
- Drive selection against the motor, load duty and process requirements.
- Control philosophy, I/O, operator interface and communication protocols.
- Thermal management, cable segregation and electromagnetic compatibility.
- Typical applications
- Pumping, ventilation and industrial processes
- Start the discussion with
- Control philosophy, motor data, I/O list and communication requirements
