Automation Electrical Operations
Himel products for automation of electrical operations
Automation of electrical operations is achieved by products and devices that make decisions based on inputs and directions provided, to produce the desirable output. The main drivers of electrically achieved automation processes are sensors, which detect the required raw input data for the system, actuators which seek the output commands in an electrical ecosystem and the controllers which aid in perfect synchronization of the process flow to produce result-oriented decisions.
For modern electrical operations that need to be increasingly unmanned and safer, automation is key. A manual system is erroneous involving skilled workforce to deliver a comparatively smaller output with little to no scalability in the produce. Automation allows scalability of electrical operations, where the output is multifold with minimal involvement of workforce with an identical output always.
Electrical automation is not a standalone result. It is crossover of the electrical systems with electronics, with precise goals for production, structural safety and technology. Often, the process involves switching of electrical signals and processing of data and offers below advantages:
Increased productivity
Automation is often synonymous with untiring round-the-clock operations. The unsafe environment in oil rigs, metallurgy or the chemical industry are not suitable for human-led operations. With automation, humans can be assigned strategic and productive work whereas the monotonous and often risky work at the facility can be automated.
Efficient use of resources
With automation, wastage of raw materials and man-hours is minimized, while maximizing manufacturing efficiency, throughput, utilization, yield, and quality. High-quality electrical products are critical for improving shop-floor operations, resulting in increased yield and production ramps. All operations and activities within the production environment can achieve production goals and commitments when automation is successful.
Greater precision
With the increased use of real time data and analysis at different stages of industrial processes, the ingress of human error is eliminated, resulting in a more precise product throughput. Greater precision is important for wastage minimization. Overall equipment effectiveness, which depends on high-quality electrical products, ensure optimal control.
Safer workforce
Gradual improvement in mechanization and process automation have been central to consistently improving worker safety. Machine failures endanger workers. Automation allows workmen to stay away from the machinery and avoid the possibilities of electrical hazards. High-quality electrical products that have been tested in ambient and anticipated extreme conditions play a vital role in workforce safety.
Easier implementation of TPM
TPM is Total Productive Maintenance which in industries is used to achieve zero breakdowns thus enabling perfect production. With the advent of automation, monitoring and tracking of maintenance have become easy. Assembly lines, machinery, workflow everything can be tracked, and productive maintenance can be achieved by scanning through the parameters such as temperature, pressure, fluids, acoustics, etc. in detail. The scalability, efficiency, and diagnosis of faults is ascertained in a quick period.
Himel products for automation of electrical operations
The products from Himel are engineered and tested to match the highest of industry standards, time-proven in a wide variety of applications involving a combination of manual and automatic control with varying degrees of complexity.
Automatic Transfer Switch Controllers
When the main power is switched off or is lost, Himel Automatic Transfer Switch Controller switches to the other power source, such as the diesel generator in a few microseconds. This allows uninterrupted power supply thereby minimizing out-time and subsequent losses. Himel ATSE are installed in the control panels of the electrical feeder pillars, eliminating the manual operations or switching of power supplies during power outages.
Time Relay
A time delay relay is an automated device or component which uses the electromagnetic principal or mechanical action to delay the closing or opening of contacts of a circuit. One half of the relay coil is always energized while the other must be turned on by an electrical signal through a control devices such as clock, or some other relays. These low voltage distribution products from Himel have both switch-on and switch-off delays to suit the requirement of an electrical circuit.
Modular Contactor
Modular contactors are used in single-phase as well as three-phase power switching. Customized as per the needs of an electrical circuit, contactors with NO – Normally Open and NC – Normally Close contacts are available. Further, the configuration can be a single pole, a double pole or multi-pole versions. Himel Modular contactors provide switching in all single-phase or multiphase loads up to the nominal rating of 63A. Modular contactors from Himel are also available in the ratings of 16A, 20A, 25A, 40A, 63A with 02, 03 and 04 pole variants.
Variable Speed Drives
The solar variable frequency drives convert the power from AC to DC and then back to AC with an altered frequency and voltage level. Solar energy is absorbed by the PV or photovoltaic cells which is converted into electrical energy. The VSDs alter the speed of the motors and increases the operational time of the pumping set besides saving a lot of energy and cost. Himel smart solar VSDs ensure and optimize the use of pumps according to the needs of the user. The auto-switching and energy-saving attributes make it a standout performer.
