Briefly introduce: the specific steps and processes of installing power distribution cabinets in Thailand.

The following are the specific steps and processes for installing power distribution cabinets in Thailand:

Preparatory preparation

Understand the demand and environment: communicate with customers to clarify the purpose, load demand and environmental conditions of the installation location, such as space size, humidity, temperature, etc.

Obtain relevant specifications and standards: Be familiar with local electrical installation specifications in Thailand, such as TIS 1122-2549(2006), etc., to ensure that the installation work meets local requirements.

Prepare tools and materials: according to the installation task, prepare the required tools, such as screwdrivers, wrenches and electric drills, as well as power distribution cabinets, electrical components, wires and cables, grounding materials, etc.

Handling procedures: consult the local electric power department or relevant management agencies to find out the procedures required to install the distribution cabinet, such as construction permit, and submit the application materials as required to handle relevant procedures.

Install basic settings

Determine the installation position: according to the design requirements and the actual situation on site, determine the installation position of the power distribution cabinet. Choose a well-ventilated, dry place that is convenient for operation and maintenance, and avoid installing it in a place that is prone to flooding, dusty or corrosive gases.

Fabrication of foundation bracket: If the power distribution cabinet needs to be installed on the bracket, make a suitable foundation bracket according to the size and weight of the power distribution cabinet. The bracket should be firm and reliable, able to bear the weight of the power distribution cabinet and ensure the installation level of the power distribution cabinet.

Installation of fixing bolts: drill holes and install fixing bolts on the foundation bracket or the ground according to the installation hole position of the power distribution cabinet. The specification and quantity of bolts shall meet the installation requirements of the power distribution cabinet to ensure that the power distribution cabinet can be firmly fixed.

Installation of distribution cabinet

Handling the power distribution cabinet: transport the power distribution cabinet to the installation position, and pay attention to avoid collision and damage to the shell and internal components of the power distribution cabinet. In the process of handling, appropriate handling tools, such as forklifts and cranes, should be used and operated by professionals.

Fixing the power distribution cabinet: place the power distribution cabinet on the foundation bracket or the ground, and fix it firmly by fixing bolts. Check the levelness and verticality of the power distribution cabinet with a spirit level. If there is any deviation, adjust it by adjusting the gasket to ensure that the installation of the power distribution cabinet meets the requirements.

Connecting incoming and outgoing wires: According to the design requirements, connect the power cord to the incoming end of the distribution cabinet and connect the load wire to the outgoing end of the distribution cabinet. When wiring, it is necessary to ensure that the specifications of the wires meet the requirements, and the connection is firm and reliable, so as to avoid loosening and virtual connection. At the same time, we should pay attention to the way of laying wires to avoid interference with other equipment or pipelines.

Installation and wiring of electrical components

Installation of electrical components: according to the design drawings of the power distribution cabinet, various electrical components, such as circuit breakers, contactors, relays, fuses, etc., are installed in corresponding positions in the power distribution cabinet. When installing, pay attention to the installation direction and fixing method of components to ensure that the components are firmly installed and easy to operate and maintain.

Connecting wires between components: according to the electrical schematic diagram, connect various electrical components with wires. When wiring, pay attention to the color identification of the wire and the identification of the terminal to ensure that the wiring is correct. At the same time, we should pay attention to the length and direction of the wire to avoid the phenomenon of being too long or too short and crossing chaos.

Installation of grounding system: install grounding bus in the distribution cabinet and connect the grounding terminals of all electrical components with the grounding bus. The grounding bus shall be reliably connected to the outdoor grounding electrode through the grounding cable, and the grounding resistance shall meet the requirements of local codes in Thailand, generally not more than 4 ohms.

Wiring and cable laying

Planning wiring path: according to the location of the distribution cabinet and the distribution of load equipment, plan the laying path of wires and cables. Try to avoid wires and cables from crossing or parallel with other pipelines and equipment. If it is unavoidable, necessary isolation measures should be taken.

Laying cable tray or trunking: If necessary, install cable tray or trunking for protecting and laying wires and cables. Cable tray or trunking shall be installed firmly, connected tightly and with smooth surface to avoid sharp edges scratching wires and cables.

Laying wires and cables: laying wires and cables along the planned path to the distribution cabinet and load equipment. In the process of laying, attention should be paid to prevent wires and cables from being subjected to external forces such as stretching, twisting and extrusion, and at the same time, the bending radius of wires and cables should meet the requirements to avoid insulation damage caused by excessive bending.

Fixing wires and cables: In the cable tray or trunking, use cable fixing clips or cable ties at regular intervals to fix wires and cables firmly to prevent them from shaking or shifting. Where wires and cables enter the distribution cabinet and load equipment, they should also be fixed to ensure a firm and reliable connection.

Debugging and testing

Check wiring: Before power-on debugging, check again whether the wiring of electrical components in the distribution cabinet is correct and firm, whether the connection of wires and cables meets the requirements, and whether there are any phenomena such as looseness, virtual connection and short circuit.

Insulation test: use an insulation resistance tester to test the insulation resistance of each electrical circuit in the distribution cabinet to ensure that the insulation resistance value meets the requirements. Generally speaking, for low-voltage distribution cabinets, the insulation resistance should be not less than 0.5 megohm.

Grounding resistance test: use a grounding resistance tester to test the grounding resistance of the distribution cabinet to ensure that it meets the requirements of local codes. If the grounding resistance does not meet the requirements, check the grounding system in time, find out the problems and make rectification.

Power-on debugging: Power-on debugging shall be carried out after confirming that the wiring is correct and the insulation resistance and grounding resistance are qualified. First, turn on the main power switch, check whether the power indicator of the power distribution cabinet is normal, and measure whether the input voltage is within the allowable range. Then turn on the switches of each branch in turn to check whether the electrical components of each branch can work normally, such as whether the circuit breaker can close normally, whether the contactor can pull in normally, and whether the relay can act normally. At the same time, check whether the output voltage and current of each branch meet the design requirements.

Testing of protective devices: test various protective devices in the distribution cabinet, such as overcurrent protection, short circuit protection and leakage protection, to ensure that they can operate within the specified time and protect equipment and personal safety. For example, by simulating overcurrent or short circuit fault, check whether the circuit breaker can trip in time and cut off the power supply.

Acceptance and delivery

Self-inspection: After the installation is completed, the installer shall first conduct self-inspection to check whether the installation quality and electrical performance of the distribution cabinet meet the requirements and whether all test records are complete. If problems are found, make timely rectification.

Application for acceptance: submit an acceptance application to the local electric power department or relevant acceptance agencies, and provide installation drawings, test reports and other related materials. The acceptance agency will conduct a comprehensive inspection and test of the distribution cabinet according to the local electrical codes and standards in Thailand.

Rectification and improvement: If problems are found in the acceptance process, rectification shall be carried out according to the requirements of the acceptance organization until the acceptance is qualified.

Delivery: After acceptance, the distribution cabinet will be officially delivered to customers for use. At the same time, provide customers with the operating instructions, maintenance manuals, warranty cards and other materials of the power distribution cabinet, and conduct operation and maintenance training for customers' relevant personnel to ensure that customers can use and maintain the power distribution cabinet correctly.
