An IP65 control cabinet is chosen to protect components from dust and water. This is important in industrial environments, production areas, outdoor setups or installations where cleaning and moisture play a role. But this is precisely where a technical problem often arises: a switch box must remain protected, while heat must also be dissipated. Ventilation […]

A control cabinet always develops heat. That happens from components such as power supplies, PLCs, variable speed drives, relays, contactors, network components and cabling. In a well-designed cabinet, that heat is dissipated in a controlled manner. But when heat generation exceeds heat dissipation, interior temperatures rise. This may seem like a minor problem, but in
When do you need cooling in a control cabinet? Read More »
A control cabinet that gets too hot has usually been giving signals for some time. An inverter occasionally fails. A power supply gets hotter than expected. A fan runs continuously. Or a machine gives trouble especially on hot days or during peak loads. Overheating rarely occurs from a single cause. It is often a combination

Within industrial environments where explosion hazards are present, ATEX zones are often used. Yet in practice we see that the difference between zone 1 and zone 2 is regularly misinterpreted. This may seem like a detail, but it has direct consequences for the design and implementation of a switchgear cabinet. A wrong assessment can lead
ATEX zone 1 vs. zone 2: what does it mean for your control cabinet? Read More »
In many industrial facilities, overpressure is used in a control cabinet to prevent contamination, moisture and harmful external influences. Consider environments with dust, vapors or temperature fluctuations where electronic components are prone to failure. In theory, the principle is simple: through controlled airflow and slight overpressure, you prevent contaminated air from entering the cabinet. In

In industrial environments where explosion hazards are present, overpressure in switchboards is often discussed. In practice, confusion frequently arises here: when is standard overpressure sufficient, and when is a purge system mandatory? This confusion is not without risk. Misapplication of a protection method can lead to unsafe situations, rejection during inspections or downtime of installations.

There is a clear trend in today’s machinery industry: from traditional product sales to service-oriented contracts. The Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) concept allows customers to pay for the use of a machine, rather than purchasing it outright. This requires new technical and commercial insights. At Kwadrant IA, we design and build control panels specifically designed to support
