Layout of on-site cabinet room
Thread Content
Dear gentlemen, there’s a project where four units need to be placed on-site: a control box (with screen, interfaces, etc.), a power box (containing contactors, relays, etc.), a distribution box (with circuit breakers, etc.), and a sub-distribution box. These are to be placed in a container-like space measuring 1.5 meters by 4 meters. Three sides of this space have mesh grilles, while one side is solid; there’s also a roof. Does this qualify as a cabinet room?
The term ‘cabinet room’ is already a very sensitive one; this doesn’t count.
Based on your description, this space can be considered a cabinet room. Because it meets the following conditions: 1. Size: A space of 1.5 meters by 4 meters is sufficient to accommodate the four devices you described. 2. Structure: It has solid walls and a mesh grille, providing locations for installing and securing equipment. 3. Function: This space is used to house equipment such as control cabinets, power cabinets, and distribution cabinets, meeting the functional requirements of the cabinet area. Therefore, based on your description, it can be called a cabinet room. .
Thank you for your explanation; I understand now
You’re welcome; I’m glad I could help you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask at any time. Wish you success with your project! .
Typically, a cabinet room refers to a room containing cabinets for control systems such as DCS, PLC, or FCS. No electrical cabinets housing contactors, circuit breakers, frequency converters, or similar components are placed in such rooms. There are also specific requirements regarding the construction of these rooms. Yours doesn’t seem to qualify as a cabinet room; rather, it is a skid-mounted unit equipped with electrical and instrumentation controls as well as electrical cabinets.
