Development of Electrical Cabinet Prototypes Based on Technology of Laminated Conductors

The traditional technology used in the production of electrical cabinets is generally outdated and complex. Therefore, there is a need for a new production technology that minimises both production time and physical labour. As part of this research, a brand new, patented laminated conductor technology was used to connect electrical cabinet components. The assembly process is based on the alternating layering of conductive and insulating layers. By using laminated conductors with a rectangular cross-section, the main advantage of the implemented technology is the possibility to connect the components in a fully automated production process. Other advantages include reduced size as well as simpler installation and use. The basis of this technology is the web application used to upload circuit diagrams and configure the electrical cabinet. Before prototyping the electrical cabinet, a digital twin is created based on the previously collected plans. For research purposes, two prototypes were built, one with a AC power supply and the other with a DC power supply. The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test results are given in this study for both prototypes.
