Discuss Overloads? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Yes, standard motor overloads, I can guess if this is to regulations that the coil voltage is DC and highly likely to be 24v DC... Lucien will know where I'm coming from.
If this is to regulation then the wrong wire colors have been used for 24V DC
Panels etc are not really my game but I thought 24V was white?
DC control when working to En60204 should be dark blue.
how do you know what a vsd is set at?
Do vsd's take in single phase and spit out 3ph
Depends on the brand tbh, some need a plug in programmer/display and others just need a parameter search to look it up. Why the random question, I cannot see a VSD in the pic's?how do you know what a vsd is set at?
I would suggest the builder of this panel is clued up about how to design controls and circuits but is lacking in knowledge of the BS60204 as they have cherry picked certain reg's and totally ignored others, also I would suggest a PLC would have simplified this set-up greatly.

Vsds can be single phase in or 3 phase in. All output 3 phase. They output the same voltage as they are inputted (no doubt there will be exceptions but none that I have seen) ie 230v in single phase = 230v 3 phase out.
400v 3 phase in = 400v 3 phase out.
It may not be compliant with the machine regs but I regularly come across panels a lot worse than that. Just out of interest what's the component that's mounted at the front right of the base of the enclosure?

FFI?

I've seen worse like this work of Art.
Fees For Intervention.
Levied on companies that have a material breach of statute law.
Hopefully these will start to hit home and companies will begin to learn that they need to comply, because not only will they get a PN or an IN, but they will get FFI too, that will cost them out of their bottom line, and they can't insure against enforcement.
It is I think £129/hour currently.
It sounds like a good move, but still suffers from the relevant authority needing to find out about the problems in the first place
What are the requirements that it doesn't meet?.Panel obviously does not meet the requirements of the Machinery, nor Low Voltage Directives, again.
This is becoming a very common theme these days, why I wonder is it that there seems to be an increasing number of panel & machine builders who can't design a panel that complies with statute law?
I can see a few what I would class as cosmetic breaches of the BS60204, I would need more info on what this panel does and controls to know if more significant regulations have been ignored, it is usually the case when someone builds a panel and cannot get the basics right like colour coding and marking of cables correct that they will be a high probability that the panel falls far short of requirement.What are the requirements that it doesn't meet?.

I agree darkwood, just wondering what netblindpaul has seen which doesn't comply with the statue laws he mentions.
Although is the colour really a non compliance with BS60204 as numbers are used? Colours or labels or mixture can be used as I interpret it. What's your thoughts?.
What marking of cables do you see wrong?.
I'm not disagreeing with you here just discussing what issues can be seen.
