Constructing an electrical plumbing switchboard is a true science. These days, special CAD technologies are used to thoroughly map and plan super-efficient switchboards. Just about all switchboards include at least a few “custom” elements, specifically for special or unique in-house systems.
Switchboard Construction Essentials – Plans
Switchboard plans look very complex, and can in fact be quite complicated. However, the logic of connections and applications is pretty straightforward.
The most fundamental elements of a switchboard are connections. These include connections to power, and to specific electrical systems. This is the “skeleton” of any electrical switchboard. Like a flowchart, switchboard connections are planned to show connections from the power source(s) to applications.
From the connections, the next level of planning is specific wiring and circuitry. Wiring includes power to machinery, lighting, and other critical systems. Circuitry includes the on-board circuits for particular operations, including a virtual forest of capacitors, resistors, microcircuits, and other system features.
The same “flowchart logic” applies to wiring and circuitry as to connections. These are essentially flowcharts directing current and power at operational levels. Using the CAD plan, every wire and every circuit are mapped out in detail.
Switchboard plans also include fuses, backup systems, safety systems, and in modern switchboards, monitoring and safety provisions. You’ll notice that these elements in switchboard plans are also directly related to accessibility, maintenance and operational needs. A modern switchboard can operate very efficiently around the clock with this meticulous planning.
Custom Switchboards
Custom switchboards are a typical feature of modern electrical design. While many switchboards include a lot of standard features, every business and every operation is different. All have their own particular needs, and switchboards are designed to provide power for those needs.
Customisation is also the best practice in electrical design. In the past, electrical switchboards were often too complex, difficult to work with, and expensive when upgrading. Good electrical switchboard design can improve energy efficiency, simplify electrical systems, and provide real value. The value comes in improved performance, simpler and cheaper maintenance, and better energy usage.
Australian Switchboard Construction
In Australia, commercial electricians have been quick to take up modern switchboard construction methods. Industrial electrical contractors in Brisbane, for example, routinely use state-of-the-art CAD technologies to design complex electrical plumbing switchboards from the ground up. The leading commercial electrical companies in Brisbane can design a brand-new system with all the custom features required for you from scratch. If you want the switchboard technology of the future today, all you need to do is talk to your local electrical plumbing consultants.
With the rapid onset of industrial automation in Brisbane, this type of advanced design is also commercially critical. The simple fact is that automated systems require very different switchboard planning due to the many different configurations of machinery, equipment, and applications. You can see why modern CAD switchboard construction design is so important.
