Control Panel, Distribution & Intelligent Motor Control Centre (IMCC) Design

Electrical Control System Circuits

Circuit design is the foundation of every good control system. From simple relay circuits to complex PLC systems, including specialist motion & position control via a range of technolgies (for example; servomotors, variable speed drives, vision systems, barcode identification, Distributed Control) our experience will ensure your hardware design is tailored to your specific requirements.

Electrical Control & Instrumentation

Understanding process is a key requirement to specifying the instrumentation and control hardware necessary to ensure effective monitoring and control of vital process variables. Here at Finesse our experience covers many industries as well as being automation specialists, with a wide experience of many aspects of engineering (including Electrical, Mechanical, Process and Instrumentation) we have the ability to specify & design complete fully integrated solutions.

We can be supply in a variety of mounting types in addition to a variety of materials such as Polymer, Powdercoated Mild Steel and various grades of stainless steel. IP rating is typically a minimum of IP54 but higher ratings such as Hazardous Area/ATEX certified panels can be specified. Our control panels can be equipped with anti-condensation, panel cooling/heat shedding, GSM units, environmental monitoring, motor control gear (VFDs), power distribution, PLC racks, pushbutton/switch and also HMI control the manufacturers of which can also be client nominated.

Power Distribution

We design and supply IP Rated LV Switchboards with a range of busbar systems in Panel Forms 1 through to Form 4 ranging from compact wall mounted units to larger free standing or floor mounted units with single or multiple incomers. Our designs as always are bespoke and to client specification but we also offer the following technologies; Anti-condensation equipment, Automatic load shedding, Automatic power factor correction, Panel cooling/heat shedding Equipment, Power monitoring Equipment & various forms of circuit breaker appropriate to the application.

Motor Control Centres (MCC) & Intelligent Motor Control Centres (IMCC)

Finesse are a respected supplier to the Oil and Gas, Marine & Utilities markets of certified MCC and IMCC suites. We supply bespoke Control Centres in layouts form 1 through to form 4 typically with IP55 rating but have supplied higher Ingress Protection ratings on request. Busbar, cabling entries and exits, motor starters, PLC and Drives is again to customer specification and nominated manufacturer. Operator controls can be fully automated or manual, locally sited or also located at a remote station and typically include a mix of LED indicator, pushbutton & industrial touchscreen HMI displays.
