Thank you for your videos. Because I watched them, I was able to intelligently answer questions about this topic at a job interview. I got the job on the spot for $40,000/year. They opened 430V, three-phase panels and had me explain them as part of the verbal test. I passed. No more repairing TVs for me. This will be the first full time, professional job that I have had since 2001. Frank
I really wish more tech schools would teach this way. I went through 2 years of TSTC , and graduated, and it was never presented to me in such a straightforward way.
This channel is fantastic. It's really helping me understand a wide range of material that I employ daily at work, where training can be insufficient at times. Excellent videos! Keep them coming. The simplicity and professionalism makes it easy to follow, and when you want to learn about a particular item/subject those videos are available.
I used to build electrical control panels, painted the enclosures, laid out, mounted and wired the components and then tested the entire panel. Moved on to programming and selling PLC's. Have to say building the panels was the more enjoyable part.
Teach yourself IEC 61131-3 PLC programming and try to get promoted to an engineer for a big jump in pay without needing to go through 4 years of useless college. Just a tip. GL on your new job.
LOL! The rats nest is usually found under the wire duct covers because the schematic is missing and is no longer accurate anyway!!! Every time you power up the panel, all the office toilets flush! The third shift tech, who was troubleshooting the radio section just left for a 3 week vacation and his pass down notes don't make sense. The CEO's inspection tour starts in 30 minutes... MAN I LOVE(D) MY JOB! I've been downsized to a maintenance helper in a place where maintenance means cleaning - possibly even toilets.
I worked in manufacturing for decades. This was WELL explained without the need of getting into in depth analysis of each component. Young folks should consider this well paid, blue collar profession... building panels, or connecting them to machinery , or interfacing/ programming to use with other panels & computers.
ReadyTo SaveIt having been a panel wiremen for 20 years, I’m afraid I don’t share your enthusiasm. Good panel builders are a dying breed. The work here in the UK is mostly under paid considering the skill and qualification level required to be truly competent. I’m lucky that for the past 10 years I’ve worked at a place that does pay well, but this incredibly rare where I live. Most of this work is on a temporary unstable basis and underpaid. I certainly wouldn’t recommend any young up and coming people to consider this as a career. At least not where I live in the UK.
This is a fantastic tutorial, working with software, this has helped me understand the structure and components you would typically find inside a control panel. Thank you
Great video. Straight forward with clear explanation. I'm going to open a panel now to identify the components. My electrical instructor sent me this video. Thanks Harry.👍
Same here. I started working plant maintenance 1 year ago, have learned a lot in the past year but the electrical issues I run into troubleshooting is the one that I’m not familiar with. Just enrolled in tech school to start Industrial Electricity courses though.
Wow great video! This really breaks down the basics and would serve as a great introduction for a lot of people that applies to much larger and complex control panels as well. Keep the videos coming! I look forward to seeing more from your group.
finally someone that explain this, I started an industrial maintenance course but everyone except me seems to already know electrical mumbo jumbo so i am desperately trying to catch up
Imufur Indeed, he does an excellent job at the Introductory level... almost a "sales pitch" to get you interested, without bogging all down in details. There IS much to learn, depending on what level you will work with in the building, installation & maintenence of these panels. A basics of electricity course, shops skills level (drilling,tapping holes etc) , and wiring diagram reading and documentation of , might be the next series of learning courses for you. A good "hands on" mentor, is invaluable if you can latch onto one. Good luck !
Very good video. Best yet I've found. I work in an industrial plant and was "thrown into" this sort of electrical stuff. I started as a contractor on site doing HVAC work. So I am "reverse engineering" my knowledge, so to speak, of the stuff upstream of the machine. This helped.
wow its actually really cool for you to be given that position. Hope they gave you a raise in pay for it. I want to do this type of work in the future.
I learned a lot Watching your videos thank you so much .in my previous job I used to assemble Flow meters where i connect and wire different type of components now the company moved out and had to look for another Job anyhow i found a great Job doing this in the begging they didn't have too much trust on my because I'm a woman but i teach them that i could do the Job sometimes they send me out of the country because I'm bilingual i speak Spanish i enjoy working with panels
🤯 LOL. I need to get better at this stuff. Thanks for showing it, rather than a diagram. For some reason this make so much more sense to me than diagrams.
Great panel wiring presentation but how is AC power fail from the relay to the PLC gonna help,because when the main power fails the whole circuit will be off. Unless you install a 24Vdc output UPS and a 24Vdc power supply module for the PLC😊
How is the job and economic outlook in this sector. I'm studying EET in college and I'm worried I won't find a job without internship experience. RN ,I'm learning circuit basics but I'm self teaching on PLC, PID. I still get confused by all the components and their purposes.
I’ve been looking for a video like this. What is the correct name for paper holder on the door? What is the correct name for the seal that keeps the rain and ants out.
Great video explained, I only have one concerned.... at minute 1:26 this guy is explaining something about the source suppressor that it's fine. Buuut....... why the outlet at the left size as been mark with "5A max", if the outlet is basically and normalized for 20 A??? What kind of outlet is that??? Or where do that sell those @RSP Supply ? Here at USA don't have those if this (the outlet) is a 5A; have a great day....
I have to work on this shit everyday. Finding problems in these type of control panels can be very frustrating. I had to teach myself being a industrial mechanic.
punkdevito If you can work on mechanical, electrical, welding, plumbing, etc part for the industries then you are not just a simple mechanic or electrician, you are a general technician.
It depends on your requirements..start first with your design for sequencing then figure out your components..then from there you can tell what size and what type your panel is..but always keep in mind always put a leg room for your wires and never evere use a NEMA type 1 enclosure for your panel
Dude I did the same got there he showed me this panel and I was like I have no idea and he basically said I wasent fit for the job and I have maintinence experience I just never had to mess with these panels before

Congrats Frank!
congrats man
Congrats! Never stop learning
Congrats
You chancer

It would be great if you could make a wiring diagram tutorial aswell, would apreciate it very much!
got a new job,and you just saved my career man..Thank you

I just started as an industrial electrician at a water treatment plant and this helps a lot thanks!

I could only wish that the stuff I have to work on were as neatly laid out and tidy as this. Very good video.
Thank you! We really appreciate the feedback.
Dude I know what you mean.

Oh yeah, the panels I look at are nothing near as neat as that.

We work on the electronic field and we found your video Interesting
Thank you for that, trying to advance in this field and that helped tremendously

@@offspringfan1288 good deal, i started going to tech school for electrical last year as well. It's a great choice to make and good luck!
Glad it was helpful!
Every time before I am about to fabricate a control panel, I watch your videos
No offense but I don’t think you should do it unless you want to fight me
Nice video. Nice panel! You truly captured the basics with no confusion. Good job.
Wow great video! This really breaks down the basics and would serve as a great introduction for a lot of people that applies to much larger and complex control panels as well. Keep the videos coming! I look forward to seeing more from your group.
we need more videos like this. seriously. please
Excellent video. You are a great explainer. The filming and editing quality is great too. Congrats.

Awesome video and well explained my friend , thank you for your knowledge and education 👍🏽
Very concise and insightful explanation. Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
this is exactly what i was looking for ,nice video.
Thanks for your sharing. I 'm currently working as a Control and Service Engineer in Myanmar.
Very professional and great presentation.
Thanks
Thank you. We appreciate the feedback.
very good video to achieve the basic knowledge of the control panel
Thanks for sharing, a very nice overview of an Industrial Control Panel informative 👍
Glad it was helpful!
I learned a lot Watching your videos thank you so much .in my previous job I used to assemble Flow meters where i connect and wire different type of components now the company moved out and had to look for another Job anyhow i found a great Job doing this in the begging they didn't have too much trust on my because I'm a woman but i teach them that i could do the Job sometimes they send me out of the country because I'm bilingual i speak Spanish i enjoy working with panels
I cannot say anything but I love this so much. Thanks a lot!
🤯 LOL. I need to get better at this stuff. Thanks for showing it, rather than a diagram. For some reason this make so much more sense to me than diagrams.
A really nice video. I am currently working for a company that builds those and other electrical panels.
Great job ,I want more videos with serious problems .
Lovely video. Wish to have alot more walkthrough like these.
Really Good Tutorial As always :) Keep the good work i'm really learning a lot as a Computer Engineer !
Hope that he read your comment ☺️
very well made video. very clear descriptions . Well done !!!!!!!!!
Excellent, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
superb video for the uninitiated chemical engineer looking to dip his toe into power and control panels!
Well done
I love how you divide the terminal blocks by signal type. Where i work we divide the terminal blocks alot different.
You explained this so well thank you
Please make a video explaining all the MARKINGS (and buttons) on
1. Circuit Breaker
2. Contactor
3. Timer
4. Overload Relay
Very much applicable and appreciated your ideas to learned, thank you very much.
Nice explanation.
Great panel wiring presentation but how is AC power fail from the relay to the PLC gonna help,because when the main power fails the whole circuit will be off. Unless you install a 24Vdc output UPS and a 24Vdc power supply module for the PLC😊
Im 47 now. I wish i had know all this when i was 18
No UA-cam 😕
Great video and informative .
Glad it was helpful!
Great video really professional
Great video. Cheers!
Excellent video.
Thanks a million.
Plz make video for how to read panel drawing paper
Both informative and well presented video
Thank you for the video. It really helps
Even tho I don't need this, it will come in handy just in case!
amazing video, very informative
I wonder why neutrals are not passing through breakers? Same question about DC GND.
Greate video and exellent explainer , Thanks so much..
Good afternoon. I really enjoyed the video. Do you have an electrical schematic of the panel featured in this video ?
How is the job and economic outlook in this sector. I'm studying EET in college and I'm worried I won't find a job without internship experience.
RN ,I'm learning circuit basics but I'm self teaching on PLC, PID. I still get confused by all the components and their purposes.
Thank you for sharing this video, very good.
I’ve been looking for a video like this. What is the correct name for paper holder on the door? What is the correct name for the seal that keeps the rain and ants out.
Details......The AC Convenience Outlet is mounted correctly, Ground at the top. This is a controversial issue, thus the term U Ground
Perfection. Great vid.
Great video ❤❤
Thank you!!
What materials do we use to construct back plate ?
Well done video!
great , but u need explain about PLC and surge suppressor
Sir, what mm2 of wire is use for plc , contractor, relay and supply in panel ?
Good work
Nice overview - just what I needed. Also, are there any specific codes that govern control panels other than say NEC?
NFPA79 (closely linked to NEC)
Can you provide the mfr and part number for the din rail mounted analog input terminals shown in the video?
Great video explained, I only have one concerned.... at minute 1:26 this guy is explaining something about the source suppressor that it's fine. Buuut....... why the outlet at the left size as been mark with "5A max", if the outlet is basically and normalized for 20 A??? What kind of outlet is that??? Or where do that sell those @RSP Supply
? Here at USA don't have those if this (the outlet) is a 5A; have a great day....
Why you provide only modicon plc?
Thank you do much, share very helpful
I have to work on this shit everyday. Finding problems in these type of control panels can be very frustrating. I had to teach myself being a industrial mechanic.
being an industrial "mechanic" or an electrician?
Matt D as a mechanic. We work on all parts of the machines. Electrical, mechanical, General maitence, welding, and gas or plumbing to big machines.
punkdevito If you can work on mechanical, electrical, welding, plumbing, etc part for the industries then you are not just a simple mechanic or electrician, you are a general technician.
Matt D what ever the name may be. That's what I do. And everybody at the plant calls us m mechanics
Ok nice, but does it blend?
Dear Goef HAM
Allways isolator sw. is used in power panel and here we are talking about control panel .
That DINN rail loks like it's cut wrong. The hole is cut. It doesn't need to be cut because there is still room on either side.
Hi. What are the areas to consider in order to properly size an electrical panel required for an industrial production line?
We will do a video on that soon.
It depends on your requirements..start first with your design for sequencing then figure out your components..then from there you can tell what size and what type your panel is..but always keep in mind always put a leg room for your wires and never evere use a NEMA type 1 enclosure for your panel
How can i order like that for training purposes only.
You are Awesome!!! thanks for this Video
Cabinet very nice
CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US PANEL SIZE AND TYPE??
Great Video thanks
You really help me..keep up
Is that base plate pre-famulated amulite? Is there anything in place to reduce sinusoidal depleneration?
I also use words when I speak. POLYCARBONATE.
The outlet says 5 amp max. That being the case, why does it allow for a 20Amp plug?
Hellow sir can you tell me a servo motor encoder using the length measurement .in this function a encoder is analog input or digital input
Excellent
Very very helpful..spot on!
I lied on my resume and got an interview. I am so gonna fail when they start asking me questions…
How did it go?
lol. Are you still there
Dude I did the same got there he showed me this panel and I was like I have no idea and he basically said I wasent fit for the job and I have maintinence experience I just never had to mess with these panels before
😆
Don’t lie bro
@1:54 it's called terminal block
very informative
thanks
hi.. i am bilal.. 3 year deploma in electrical... how can. read in this field
How deep the enclosure? Is the Radio be ok with jumper connection? Just wondering.
Much additional site info would be needed for anyone to help you with this.
I ask if you can make a group and we join in it and talk about electricity
ya en el 2012 armaba paneles para robotica
Thanks Sir
Amazing video 👏🏿. Thank you so much!
Great info
