Electrical Panel Design in EPLAN: Wiring And Busbars

Learn important components inside electrical cabinets, particularly wiring (conductors) and busbars systems (60mm). The course is real-life oriented and it includes 119 photos of electrical cabinets from international projects. 11 lessons in 52m total course length.

Course Decription

This course covers components and circuits inside and outside electrical panels: wiring inside a cabinet and a 60mm busbar system. The course is real-life-oriented, and whether you work as a designer, panel builder, or system integrator, you will have a real benefit.

There are two real treats at the end of the course (last two videos/lessons):

  1. 119 photos of electrical cabinets from international projects: both power and control cabinets, also SIVACON
  2. RiLine60 busbar system in 3D in Eplan PRO Panel: where we experience in 3D how a 60 mm busbar system looks in “reality”.
