CONTROL & PROTECTION PANELS |
Medelec designs control and protection panels to cater for various applications according to customer requirements, utilising simple conventional control and microprocessor protection units to highly sophisticated numerical protection relays and digital control systems.
Cubicles are designed, taking in consideration, ambient conditions, site installation, space restrictions, and personnel safety without compromising the ease of operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of the control/protection panels.
- engineering design of protection schemes and controls
- selection of protection equipment
- instrumentation, measurement and metering
- engineering design and fabrication of cubicles
schematic and wiring diagrams
- assembly, wiring and testing of cubicle to latest BS and IEC standards
- automatic controls using programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
- design and programming of digital control systems and substation automation
