FAQs

What are the purposes of Protection & control panels?

Protection & Control Panel panels are designed to monitor and protect electrical systems with the purpose of ensuring the system can be controlled and the critical infrastructure is protected from damage. Protection and control panels are mainly utilized to monitor and control Utility and industrial power systems.

Most common Protection panels are:

Protection and control panels generally have: IED (Intelligent Electronic Devices), selector switches, meters, current test links and miniature circuit breakers or fuse holders on the front. Power supplies, auxiliary relays and terminal blocks mounted internally. Terminal rails allow wiring from the devices & field to be wired to the panel.

How does a control panel operate?

An electrical control panel is typically a metal enclosure containing the necessary electrical components needed to control and monitor specific electrical and/or mechanical processes. Each electrical component inside a control panel has a specific purpose in the scheme needed to control or protect the different aspects of a production line or monitoring process.

What components make up control panels?

Control panels are comprised of:

Enclosures
Fusing & Protection
Power and Energy Monitoring and Control
Power Distribution Systems
Circuit and Load Protection
Thermal Management
Motion and Drives
Safety systems
Programmers, timers, and variable frequency drives
Power Supplies and Transformers

Relays and contactors

When we talk about control panels, what does protection mean?

Control Panel Protection is a general term and has multiple meanings.

Exterior Panel Protection – Panels require ratings based on the environment they are being installed in, the North American standard is called (NEMA), these Nema ratings indicate the level of protection the panel has based on the environment it is in.

Electrical Protection (certification standards) – Electrical panels need to be fabricated and certified to a level of safety, Safety standards are dictated by numerous governing authorities, such as by the local jurisdiction such as ESA,NEC, CSA,UL and more. Keltour tests and designs all products to a minimum of CSA/UL certification.

Full Certifications we offer.

CSA C22.2 No. 14
UL 508A
CE, EU Directives (EMC, Low Voltage, Machinery, and ATEX directives)
Intrinsically Safe certification
Unit Substation Certification
ESA (Electrical Safety Authority)
SPE1000National Electric Code (NEC)
Class I Div. 1 (Explosion Proof)
ATEX 2G

NEMA Panel Protection refers to the materials protecting the exterior of the electrical enclosure.A proper design protects the control panel against severe or hazardous environments such as water, heat, fire, explosions, chemicals or other elements that can cause damage.

Typical materials & ratings used for panel ratings.
