I knowthats what the drivers are made for -doing all the screws on distribution boards
If you want to be specific, they are for electrical screws, mine have never seen the inside of a dist board but seen plenty of action in places like this…
yes they do look a little fragile in some sense, a normal driver would just slip.
That's lovely an neat, all the schneider too, very niceI know

That's what I was thinking, anyone would think he works for them!

What's the bank of narrow things with ethernet (TCP IP?) Third row from the bottom?
Those are temperature/pressure controllers (used as alarm units in this case) - they’ve no screen as they send data to the 15” hmi that’s fitted so there’s no point fitting a fancy screen. They are independent monitoring for the system, so if the plc throws a wobbler they will still trip the system out! The relay on each one is daisy chained to the next and eventually end up at the red safety controller which cuts the 2 main contactors in case of a trip.
I won’t point out the ABB breakers thenThat's what I was thinking, anyone would think he works for them!

Fancy alarm clock you have built yourself thereI know

That’s the main isolator - it’s a weird configuration where a ups supply is fed through it, so there’s 4 poles (3ph +n) plus the 2 single phase and then another isolator adjacent to switch off the ups to test the operation (don’t ask, it’s what the customer wanted!) - Schneider don’t do one with the same contact configuration so we had to get it from ABB. There’s a few other bits we got from some other suppliers but it’s mainly SE stuff.I won’t point out the ABB breakers then
Fantastic work. I can imagine that's not a cheap build, even with an automatic ferrule crimper, that's seriously time consuming.
Cheers @Brad93 - it’s my design and programming but I didn’t actually build it, it was done by a proper panel builder! I do get to do the commissioning of them (4 identical panels to do) so I have to check every connection on each one though.
Also had to go to ABB for a few isolator switches where schneider didn't have an equivalent
Tis very neat, but what does it actually do, apart from look pretty
It’s for a test rig/autoclave for hydrogen effects on materials used in nuclear industry - you’re right it’s not cheap but it wasn’t hugely expensive to be honest (I wouldn’t like to be paying for it having said that!). Having 4 identical panels helps as a lot of the money is in the design and development, so it would be pretty eye watering if it was one off!
It’s a test rig for nuclear materials (I think for hydrogen effects). It’s an 8 zone heater system (thyristor controlled), with a couple of pump controls, and lots of safety stuff monitoring temperatures and pressures. It’s replaced a cabinet full of discrete controllers and contactors/relays (we supplied the old stuff as well) - same function just in a much neater format, and hopefully easier to use.
soon as i saw them i knew what they were the guy selling didnt though got a little stubby one as well
