Why Use European Switchboard Components

Many electronic manufacturers believe that quality is the number one priority when it comes to switchboards. While some businesses use cheaper alternatives, Europe comes out as a prominent producer of electronic products.

Our Clients Require Quality

In Australia, mining, oil and gas industries are subjected to harsh working conditions, particularly those in the northern parts of Australia. They need the highest quality parts available to survive the extreme weather.

If a part breaks and mining operations have to stop for as little as an hour or two, the lost opportunity cost is massive. The mining, oil and gas industries appreciate that spending more up-front can save them a fortune further down the line when the component is on site and needs replacing.

Businesses Require Safety

Some businesses are willing to pay a premium for high-quality parts to ensure the safety of their employees and contractors. A number of government and mining companies in Australia have told us that when it comes to anything electrical, safety comes first. When accidents or equipment failure occurs, it can have deadly consequences.

Why European Components are so Good

European parts have a number of advantages over their cheaper Korean parts. Western Controls uses the CUBIC Modular Switchboard Systems from Denmark in the Motor Control Centres, Main Switchboards and VSC enclosure designs.

Skema

Founded in 1974, Skema’s mission was to become a leading international player in the design, engineering, manufacture and installation of medium and low voltage switchgears and MCCs. Skema is now geared towards the oil and gas industry and is considered the number one provider to international oil and gas and engineering companies.

Western Controls and SKEMA (Italy) formed a partnership in March 2009 to provide a Type Tested Switchboard plus sales and service to the oil and gas industry.

CUBIC

CUBIC was founded in 1973 with a unique idea for a modular system for electrical switchboards and panel boards for the distribution of low voltage power. Their innovative approach has continued through the years and they are now recognised partners within electromechanics worldwide. Their product range is impressive and can supply any type of enclosure for switchboards. CUBIC’s focus has always been on quality, reliability, relations, and concept of products.

Since every business has unique electronic requirements, it is advisable to consult an expert or an agency for more details on switchboards which will work best for your business.

Choosing the Enclosure Material for an Electrical Switchboard

Enclosures can be manufactured from a range of materials. Careful consideration needs to be given to which material is the most appropriate for the switchboard it will protect and the location of the unit. An electrical switchboard located indoors won’t need to be as resilient as a switchboard located outdoors. The environment plays a big part in the material choice, so the internal components and the enclosure itself are protected. The following are common materials used for enclosures: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) Polycarbonate (PC) Fibreglass reinforced polyester (GRP) Aluminium (AL) Powder coated mild steel Stainless steel Grade 316 (SS) Each material has its strengths and weaknesses. Polycarbonate Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer with carbon included in its structure. It is an ideal material because it is high impact and chemical resistance, self-extinguishing, wide operating temperature range, UV resistant, light weight, good insulating properties an...

What is a PLC?

A programmable logic controller is a digital computer used for automation of typically industrial electromechanical processes. Invented in the late 1960’s, programmable controllers were primarily used in machinery on factory floors but they are used in many machines needed across a variety of industries. PLCs are designed for multiple arrangements of digital and analog inputs and outputs. They need to be able to stand the rigors of factory floors and their temperature ranges, electrical noise, vibrations and impacts. A PLC can run an automatic machine year after year with little ‘assistance’ from humans. PLCs are an example of a "hard" real-time system where output results are produced in response to input conditions within a limited time. The PLC programs are a set of instructions to turn on and off outputs based on input conditions and the internal program. PLCs have continued to evolve over the years and become more intelligent. PLCs have been used in electrical communi...

Differences Between Enclosure Materials for Electrical Switchboards

There are two main choices in steel for enclosing your electrical switchboard - stainless steel and mild steel. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Threats Switchboards installed outside are at much greater risk than those indoors. The threats can be compounded by the environment including heavy rain, high levels of humidity, corrosive minerals such as sea salt, dust and UV radiation. If the switchboard is in an insecure area, there is also the risk of vandalism. Stainless Steel The greatest benefit of using stainless steel is that it’s impervious to corrosion and staining. The chromium and nickel within stainless steel stop the corrosion occurring. However, it is harder than most other materials to work with and cut because it is structurally strong. There are multiple grades of stainless steel. The most common one is 304 which contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel while 316 contains 16% chromium, 10% nickel and 2% molybdenum. The increased component of nickel makes h...
