Objectives of Separation
There are many benefits of separating an assembly to give access to one part of the assembly while other parts remain active. In particular, this approach provides protection from live parts in adjacent functioning units and protection from the movement of foreign bodies from one unit to another.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Form 1, Form 2, Form 3 and Form 4 control panels? +
The different forms describe the level of internal separation within a control panel. Form 1 provides no internal separation, while Forms 2, 3 and 4 progressively separate busbars, functional units and terminals. Greater separation can improve safety, maintenance access and continuity of operation. The appropriate form depends on the application, operating environment and project requirements.
Which form of control panel do I need? +
The right form depends on factors including the application, maintenance requirements, required level of separation and the importance of keeping other parts of the system operational during maintenance. Bensons will review your specification and operating requirements before recommending the most appropriate Form 1, 2, 3 or 4 solution.
