PROTECTION OF MACHINERY IN INDUSTRY
Industrial production depends largely on the performance of machinery. To ensure that machines and systems organized for purposes such as production, packaging, and stacking continue to operate, electricity must be used efficiently. Indeed, even a minor electrical malfunction will slow down work, reduce productivity, and cause disruption in one or all stages of production. It is possible to prevent this by using the necessary equipment.
Electrical Systems in Factories
Factories have a more complex electrical installation compared to other buildings. The installations in these spaces are designed to achieve the highest efficiency in the shortest time. The grids for production machinery, lighting, personal areas, and sections like the cafeteria or infirmary come from different sources. However, the majority of the energy consumed is optimized through these machines and systems.
Every machine has a specific voltage amount it must receive to operate. In some systems, it is possible to measure and adjust this voltage value through an operator. In advanced automation systems, values such as temperature and pressure can also be monitored and controlled. However, even for the most capable operators, it is impossible to notice instantaneous electrical fluctuations—or even if noticed, to prevent them without damaging the device.
What Happens When Voltage Rises?
Voltage fluctuations can occur in electrical installations for many reasons. Even the circulation of electrical charges accumulated in cables and transformers poses a risk in itself. Sustaining certain functions of the factory with autonomous systems such as solar or wind energy does not eliminate the risk of high voltage. When this voltage enters circulation, it can create a surge that causes serious damage to production systems. In fact, it has often been observed that major fires and damages arise from simple electrical circuit errors.
Machinery and Equipment Safety
Managing the installation through an automation system can provide significant protection. The sustainability of an installation designed according to internationally accepted IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standards will be higher. On the other hand, the optimization of machines with the installation and control systems—such as operators and sensors—must be well-executed, and they should be prevented from drawing energy below or above what is required from the grid.
In addition to all this, attention must be paid to the repair and maintenance of devices. Furthermore, it should not be forgotten that programming errors can also lead to voltage imbalances.
Organization is necessary to prevent electrical accidents, but it is not sufficient. No matter how well the organization is structured, it is not possible to prevent sudden surges or to be definitively protected from the destruction of external factors like lightning. It is well known that traditional protection systems like surge arresters and regulators often fall short.
To be protected from voltage imbalances in complex electrical systems and to protect factory machinery, you can use Trimbox.
TRIMBOX Ensures the Safety of Machinery
To ensure continuity in an industrial enterprise and to be protected from accidents that cause loss of life and property, it is necessary to prevent human errors; therefore, it is essential to install devices that provide security without manual intervention. Trimbox, which can be easily integrated into the installation, protects your devices by preventing voltage imbalances in factories.
Unlike standard protection devices such as regulators and surge arresters, Trimbox does not have a single function. While grounding the electrical load caused by external factors like lightning or static electricity within the installation, it simultaneously ensures that the system operates smoothly. It quickly prevents imbalances caused even by a severe load, reducing the energy to standard levels.
Trimbox, which has a high upper limit, functions as a fuse when this limit is exceeded. In such cases, after grounding the energy, it will automatically disconnect from the circuit, preventing damage to the installation and devices.
Simple precautions sometimes save lives. The best investment we can make for our family, our business, and our environment is protective measures. With Trimbox and GNDSeries, you can be protected from electricity-related damages and resulting electrical contact fires.
