Electrical feeders are an important part of electrical engineering panels. Electrical panels come in different categories like control panels, PCC panels, MCC panels, etc. They have a large number of electrical components which help in managing the control of the electric power supply properly.
Electrical components have a large number of data in them which can help in gaining information about the electrical flow accurately. This data can be used with industrial automation technologies, to help control, manage, and secure the data.
In this post, we will learn about the various industrial automation technologies used in electrical feeders.
A feeder is an electrical distribution network system, which does the job of supplying power from a main source to various loads requiring electricity.
Electrical power from a main transformer or substation is fed to an electrical bus bar of a feeder panel. This bus bar distributes three phase supply to various small cabinets, requiring power.
The electrical cabinets have control circuits in them which are used to supply power in a controlled manner to various loads like motors, lighting, industrial machinery, PLC control panels, etc. This means, each cabinet housing is connected to a corresponding electrical load, and these loads get power from the bus bar which has supplied mains power to their corresponding cabinets.
In this way, a feeder controls electrical power by first taking the input and then giving the output through various controls.
Let us have a look at some of the automation technologies used in electrical feeders:
