1.1 HISTORY
Since its inception in the 1973, positronic has been one of the few Indian companies that
served the local market in India as well overseas for Oil & Gas, Water and other
industrial projects.
Over the years since its incorporation, the company expanded its operations by adding
innovative manufacturing capabilities. It added new manufacturing locations in
Ahmadabad and Vadodara in India to its portfolio till date.
3. CONTROL PANEL
PCC panel full form is Power Control Center in Distribution and control for a various
electrical power source in Industry.
In Other Words, PCC panels are a distribution boards rule contain any power and would be
simply power distribution.
Panels are used to supervise and control the voltage and power of the power system.
These panels are made of high-quality raw material and are extremely sturdy in fabrication.
Main power instrument panel which consists of feeder breakers and provide breakers, monitoring
devices and control devices.
A reputed PCC panel manufacturer read all field data received for electrical power panels are
designed.
Which has a motor starter, fuse or circuit breaker and power disconnected.
A special instrument called a motor control panel is used to control motors in most industries.
In many commercial & Industry applications multiple electric motors are required and it is often
desirable to control some of the motors.
The apparatus designed for this type of function is the motor control centers MCCs.
A motor control center is an assembly to control some or all electric motors in a central location.
It consists of multiple enclosed sections having a common power bus and with each section
containing a combination starter, which in turn consists of motor starter, fuses or circuit breaker,
and power disconnect.
A motor control center can also include push buttons, indicator lights, variable-frequency drives,
programmable logic controllers, and metering equipment.
1.2.3.CONTROL PANEL
A control panel is a flat, often vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are
displayed or it is an enclosed unit that is the part of a system that users can access, such as the
control panel of a security system.
In its simplest terms, an electrical control panel is a combination of electrical devices which use
electrical power to control the various mechanical functions of industrial equipment or
machinery.
An electrical control panel includes two main categories: panel structure and electrical
components.
Normally, a main switch, and in recent boards, one or more residual-current devices (RCDs) or
residual current breakers with over current protection (RCBOs) are also incorporated.
The range has been designed with unique features ensuring user safety, convenience, easy
handling, and quick simple installation.
Safeguarding you from any kind of short circuits or over currents, the special application
distribution boards are built to last long.
The Best way is to install Auto Power Factor Correction Panel (APFC), which automatically
controls the Power Factor of the Power System close to unity.
This panels are fully integrated with latest technology Power Factor Relay and Power Saving
Capacitors.
Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) Panels APFC or Automatic Power Factor Control
Panels are mainly used for the improvement of Power Factor.
Power Factor can be explained as ratio of active power to apparent power and it is a key factor in
measuring electrical consumption.
Everyone knows that how costly electricity has become in present time.
In case of power failure, the manual changeover switch can be changed to the generator /
inverter position.
This way, power supply will continue to the load points through the inverter or generator.
When power supply restores from the power house, simply switch back the changeover switch
position to the “Main Power Supply”.

1 . Order Entry
3.Pre-production review
4.production chart
5.quality control
6.shipping
With many of our customers, this step occurs before we receive an order.
4.1.3.Pre-production Review
1. After Engineering Submitter approval, Quality Control reviews the panel design
on last time to insure it’s production ready. This reduces production delays by
solving Problems before the parts are ordered.
3.After all vendor responses are received, we schedule production and send
purchase Orders to all parts vendors with confirmed pricing and the desired
delivery date as One week prior to start of production.
4.1.4.Production start
All required control panel manufacturing data has already been prepared, so we can begin
(prepare for final assembly) before the parts arrive. This allows us to shift when certain aspects
of control panel manufacturing occur to facilitate a quick delivery schedule or to normalize
production loading.
We use industrial wire processing equipment to produce all wires 14 Gauge or smaller.
After the shortest distance wiring calculation program has been run in our panel design software
to determine all required wire lengths by type (color, gauge), we import the wiring data into our
wire machine and produce all required wires in sequence by type (color, gauge) as follows:
o Wire End A – Cut the wire. Strip the wire. Print directly on the wire
insulation
(Wire No, From Device ID: Terminal No) at a programmed position from
the
end
o Wire Middle – Print directly on the wire insulation (Wire No) at a
programmed
interval.
o Wire End B – Cut the wire. Strip the wire. Print directly on the wire
insulation
(Wire No, From Device ID: Terminal No) at a programmed position from
the
end
Prepare Nameplate / Device ID / Terminal labels
We use industrial color graphic printing equipment (Multi Color Printer, Adhesive Laminator,
Precision Cutter) and industrial label material (NEMA 4X label face, color foils, Adhesive) rated
-50F to 150F to produce all labels.
Final Assembly
Punch or drill all required holes to accommodate all components, DIN Rail and wire duct Per the
design drawings. Install DIN Rail and wire duct. Mount all components, pre-Produced
component Device ID labels, Terminal Block labels, and Door mounted Device Labels.
Install all pre-produced wires per the data printed on each wire and per the design drawings.
4.1.5.Quality Control
All physical aspects of the panel are inspected. The placement of all physical
devices are compared to the design drawings and inspected to verify they are
mounted per the manufacturer’s recommendations. The Device ID, Terminal Block,
Panel ID and Operator Device labels are inspected to insure they’re mounted and
oriented properly.
All electrical aspects of the panel are inspected. Because wire connection data is
pre-Printed on each end and each end is pre-stripped to the manufacturer’s
recommended Strip length, the focus is insuring each wire is landed properly. Point
to point wire testing Is performed to verify visual inspection. Then power
connections are tightened per the Manufacturer’s torque recommendations. Then
function testing is performed to insure Panel functions as specified.
4.1.6. Shipping
When QC testing is complete, we send an automated Release to Shipping email. This notifies
our customer that we’re preparing their control panel manufacturing order for shipment. This
also gives them an opportunity to change the Shipping Address. We take detailed photos of all
panels in the shipment. This verifies how everything looked prior to shipment, and helps us
provide better troubleshooting assistance if a problem occurs in the field. 12 We package the
shipment based on the shipment type and weigh it. We apply Drop N’ Tell indicators and labels
so our customer can determine if the shipment was dropped during transport. If the shipment is
tall, we ship it direct (one truck, secured with a no tamper seal, with no terminal transfers) to
insure it doesn’t have an opportunity to be mishandled (tip over) during shipment. We also apply
Tip N’ Tell Indicators and labels so our customer can determine if the shipment was tipped over
during shipment. We determine the best shipping option through our shipping broker and
schedule pick up. When the shipment is picked up, we send an automated Shipping Notification
email. This identifies the Shipper Name, Shipper Tracking No, and Shipper Tracking Website
Link so our customer can track the shipment.

3. Insulation resistance
6.2.1. HV Test
A dielectric withstands test is an electrical test performed on a component or product to
determine the effectiveness of its insulation. The test is a means to qualify a device's ability to
operate safely during rated electrical conditions. Voltage withstand testing is done with a high
voltage source and voltage and current meters. A single instrument called an "HV Tester” is
often used to perform this test.
It applies the necessary voltages to a device and monitors leakage current. The current can trip a
fault indicator. The tester has output overload protection. The test duration must be under the
safety standard being used. The test time for most standards, including products covered under
IEC 60950, is 1 minute.
Fig.13 HV test
High voltage tests on power and control wiring 2.5 kV for one minute on the power circuit and 2
kV for one minute on control
• Ensure that proper earthing is provided to H.V. Test set, fulfilling the interlocking required to
make the set "ON".
• Increase the H.V. voltage smoothly up to 2.5KV for the 60s and start the timer for count down.
The main pair of contacts carry the current at normal load and these contacts are made of copper.
The additional pair is the arcing contact and is made of carbon. When the circuit breaker is being
opened, the main contacts open first, and during the opening of main contacts the arcing contacts
are still in touch with each other. When a fault occurs on the electrical power system, fast and
reliable protection means everything. If a circuit breaker fails to clear the fault at that critical
moment, the resulting damage can be disastrous in terms of both personnel injury and equipment
damage.
Even though circuit breakers can be very reliable, they tend to gather dirt, moisture, and
contaminants while in service. Breakers used in hostile environments can be exposed to various
corrosive contaminants, which damage not only the insulation system but also metal components,
including the main contacts inside air circuit breakers.
To test for insulation resistance, an instrument known as a meager is used. A meager instrument
applies a known DC voltage to a given wire for a given period to test the resistance within the
insulation on that particular wire or winding. Voltage must be employed as the resistance
checked with an ohmmeter may differ when there is no report of potential differences. It should
also be noted that if you apply a voltage that is too high for that insulation to withstand, then you
could potentially damage the insulation so there is a procedure to conduct the test. When
performing insulation testing, it is recommended that auxiliary equipment, such as potential
transformers and lightning arresters, be removed from the stationary switch gear. Insulation
resistance tests are made with the circuit breaker in an open and closed position, whereas the
insulation test for the switch gear bus is made with one phase to ground at a time, with the other
two phases grounded.
Dry film thickness (DFT) is the thickness of a coating as measured above the substrate. This can
consist of a single layer or multiple layers. DFT is measured for cured coatings (after the coating
dries). The thickness of a coating depends on the application and type of process employed.
Proper thickness should be determined by recommended coating system parameters.
A coating is the most critical component in an anticorrosive coating system. The main function
of a coating is to provide corrosion protection by adhesion to the substrate. It is critical that the
applied thickness be sufficient to ensure corrosion protection as well as proper adhesion.
Film thickness is measured to ensure its compliance with ASTM, ISO and other specifications.
There are coating inspection tools that are used at every stage of the coating process to ensure
DFT meets correct specifications.
Ferrule Printing Machines are acknowledged for their fast marking technique under low
temperature level, utilization of thermal transfer technology based marking process and a number
of latest features. These electricity driven printing systems use AC adapter as their source of
power. The latest design of their thermal head helps to raise their marking speed. Besides storing
large amount of memory, these equipments allow their operator to access stored data in personal
computer via their application software. These adopt USB interface or pen drive to obtain data
stored in PC for high volume marking job. Parameters like font density and size can be adjusted
as per the exact printing requirements of customers.
