The Difference Between Power Cabinet And Power Distribution Cabinet

Apr 05, 2023

10kv high-voltage cabinets and 400v low-voltage cabinets (regardless of incoming lines, outgoing lines, metering, capacitance, contact, voltage change, etc.) can be called power distribution cabinets.


The equipment below the 400v low-voltage cabinet is called a power cabinet if the secondary side outgoing load is a power facility (such as a fan, a motor, a water pump, etc.). The loads are lamps, switches, and sockets, which are called distribution boxes.


Distribution box: small power distribution box, which contains power switch and safety device.


Control box: a small control distribution box, which contains a power switch/safety device/relay (or contactor), which can be used for specified equipment control, such as motor control.


Power distribution cabinet: Actually, it is a large-scale distribution box, which can provide power output with higher power or more channels.


Control cabinet: In fact, it is a large-scale control box, which can provide control output with higher power or more channels, and can also realize more complex control.


Control panel: only the front control cabinet, all internal devices are installed on the panel.
