What does an electric control panel do?

An electric control panel allows you to control a specific set of equipment, e.g. a pump set. Think of it as a switchboard; it allows you the regulate the operations carried out by each piece of equipment. This is why electric control panels have very high utility in industrial procedures.

Apart from being one of the best water pump dealers in Mumbai, Vijay Engineering Machinery Company is a leading provider of high-quality electric control panels. We provide a variety of electric control panels for numerous industrial processes.

Know your electric control panels

VEMC Analogue Control Panel

Packed with features like overload protection, trip indicator, dry-run protection, reverse phase protection, etc., this panel is ideal for borewell operations, dewatering, secondary cooling systems, etc.

VEMC Digital Control Panel

This microcontroller-based panel has an easy-to-read digital display. It comes with all the features of an analogue control panel, along with remote sensing dry-run protection.

Fire Fighting Control Panel

This control panel automatically controls water pumps (main and jockey pumps) in case of fire. It also includes a Diesel Engine Starter and battery charger to provide for electricity cuts, along with a fire alarm system. It performs all functions automatically (except switching off diesel engine powered pumps) and enhances fire safety in any industrial space.

Diesel Engine Control Panel

Suitable for firefighting systems in remote areas, this panel can work without electricity. It comes with an automatic diesel engine starter & battery charger, a hooter alarm, trip indicator, remote engine monitoring, etc.

MCC Control Panel

This panel enables you to control multiple pumps or motors from a central location automatically. It comes with complete motor protection from any electrical faults along with various other features like overload protection, reverse phase protection, PLC protection, trip indicators, etc.

VFD Panel for Hydropneumatic Systems

Ideal for residential areas, townships, IT parks, and certain industries (textiles and pharmaceutical), this PLC-VFD driven panel works on auto operation based on differential pressure and level. It regulates the operation of multiple pumps in ‘working’ or ‘standby’ modes and ensures that all pumps are used equally.

Customised Panels

These panels are available in three variants:

1. Power panels: Regulate power distribution according to the needs of individual systems in industries, pumping stations, etc.
2. Annunciation panels: Raise an alarm and provide the live status of the problem in case of any malfunction in a system.
3. AMF panels: Switch the power to the emergency standby generators in case of power failures.

VEMC is also among the leading Kirloskar pump dealers in Mumbai. To know more about our other products, be sure to check our website.

What is an HVAC system?

Today, good air conditioning/heating have become indispensable, be it residences or office spaces. HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. It may also be referred to as HVACR, ‘R’ being refrigeration. It uses outdoor air to regulate and maintain preferable temperature and humidity indoors. Ventilation is of utmost importance here because it ensures the circulation of fresh air indoors.
