• The human body is so complex and is made up of
  numerous organs that function together. These
  vital organs coordinate with each other and
  respond to our surroundings. Just like human
  bodies, control panels are metal boxes that as a
  group holds all the essential electrical devices
  that regulate and monitor a mechanical process
  electrically.

• The main components of an electric control panel.
• Enclosure- The outer part of the control panel is
  called the enclosure. It is usually made up of
  aluminum or stainless steel. An enclosure of a
  control panel holds all the electrical devices.
• Back panel- back panels are metal sheets that are
  fixed on the inside part of the enclosure. The
  back panel allows us to drill mounting holes for
  various devices that lead to DIN rail.
• DIN rails- DIN rail is a metal rail used for
  firmly fixing devices inside the enclosure.
• Wiring duct- this component allows us to smoothly
  direct the wires in an effective way and also
  reduces electrical noises between the different
  devices

• Control panel manufacturers Uganda design,
  manufacture and supply premium quality control
  panels as per the requirements of the clients.
• The electrical components of a control panel
• Main circuit breaker- the main circuit breaker
  can be called as the heart of the control panel.
  Just like a human heart that supplies blood to
  the entire body, the power to the devices of the
  control panel comes from the main circuit
  breaker. The circuit breaker has a disconnect
  from outside so that it is easy for us to cut off
  the power. But it should be kept in mind that the
  topside still has power which can vary anywhere
  between 480 to as low as 120 volts. Control panel
  supplier Uganda Uganda manufactures control
  panels with precision keeping in mind the safety
  of their clients.

• Surge arrester- The power passes from the main
  circuit breaker to the surge arrester that
  protects all the electric devices and components
  inside the control panel from an uneven power
  surge or high voltage. An uneven power surge or
  high voltage is commonly caused due to a
  lightning strike which can damage the components
  in the control panel.
• Transformer- The incoming power can be connected
  to a transformer which reduces the voltage for
  small devices that are located inside the control
  panel. If the power coming inside the control
  panel is above 120 volts, a transformer is used.
  If the power is 120 volts, a power supply can be
  used to reduce the power to 24 volts.
• Terminal block- a terminal block has two
  terminals that join two or more wires together.
  The terminal blocks can be arranged with other
  blocks on a DIN rail to supply power to several
  devices in the control panel.

• Programmable logic controller (PLC)- PLC is the
  brain of the process which stores the logic.
• Relays- The PLC wires will be bind together that
  will close an internal contact and send power out
  to turn ON or OFF the device.
• Network switch- The network switch will be
  located near PLC and will be the center of
  communication from PLC to the devices in the
  assembly line.
• Human machine interface (HMI)- the HMI is a vital
  tool that assists the operator in handling the
  machinery.
• Control panels come in a different size but have
  the same devices.
