A Typical Greenhouse installation has many separate electrical control panels.
Typical American Greenhouses Electrical Pannel Installation
You can make your installation simple and less costly by having:
- No separate 575V or 480V Circuit Breaker Panel
- No separate 208V Circuit Breaker Panel
- No cables and conduit between Circuit Breaker Panels and Motor Control Panel
- No separate Computer Panel
- No separate Computer Override Switch Panel
- No separate Motor Control Panel
- No cables and conduits between Computer Panel and Override Switch Panel
- No cables and conduits between Computer Panel and Motor Control boxes
- No cables and conduits between Override SwitchPanel and Motor Control Boxes
Scratch from your installation
What you can take out to make it simple
Save money
- By not installing separate Circuit Breaker panels, Computer panels and motor starter boxes
- By not installing all interconnecting cables for all these enclosures
- By not terminating all these external cables (both sides)
- By installing less conduit
- By not having to “trouble shoot” all external wire connections
- By not servicing and maintaining all separate boxes
Do not only look at purchasing cost of individual equipment when you start
But look at the total cost of the final installation
The end result can be …..
Electrical Combination Panel
Everything in just one panel
- Drawings of all circuitry provided with the panel
- Installation can be done by any electrician even if they are untrained in greenhouse automation systems
- Less clutter of all separate boxes with interconnections and conduit in the greenhouse
- Lower maintenance and troubleshooting costs
- A clean installation in your greenhouse at a lower total installed cost
Final Scheme
Be wise invest in Electrical Combination panels for the long term.
