Benefits of Modular Switchracks

Electrical Switchracks can be some of the most complex electrical products used for controlling electrical infrastructure in industrial and commercial applications.

Traditionally switchracks were designed and built for on-site assembly. The frame, electrical components and other necessary material were delivered to the site directly for complete assembly. The major drawback of this process is the duration of time the raw material is awaiting assembly. Furthermore, weather and environmental conditions caused major wear and tear on unassembled material. Transporting and buying exact measurements of building material from companies was more costly than purchasing material in bulk. Different lead times for raw material delivery also led to greater accrued costs and risk of damage.

Today, the modular factory-built construction process is gaining prevalence. In this process, the materials used in on-site construction are used to construct switchracks in a controlled factory environment. The significant advantage is that the entire switchrack is completed in a factory-controlled setting and transported to the job site for final installation. Thus, modular switchracks speed up the process of installation and allow for later expansion without having to purchase a new switchrack . Apart from this, there are many other benefits of modular switchracks. Let us dive deeper to find out the benefits of modular switchracks and their industrial applications.

Benefits Of Modular Switchracks

Prefabricated modular switchracks are factory assembled and assure a centralized and controlled product. Listed below are some of the benefits of a modular switchrack:

Faster

The modular construction of switchracks ensures quick delivery with the highest quality as it sidesteps the possibility of underproductive staff or unreliable contractors. In fact, prefabrication takes less time in comparison to traditional construction methods. The decrease in construction time enables businesses to save on construction financing costs.

Savings

Modular switchracks are less expensive than welded switchracks as the modular switchrack manufacturing companies can purchase construction materials and electrical equipment in bulk which helps them keep the cost of the factory-built assembly lower than what you would pay for building on-site. Moreover, sizeable on-hand inventory gives the flexibility to make changes mid-production without waiting on long lead times or paying expedite fees for changed orders. Costs are saved by avoiding delays and damages due to weather and the environment. In addition, the ability to progress work as a parallel operation in the modular switchrack manufacturing company’s factory and on your construction site results in significant savings. Moreover, prefabricated switchracks let you save time and money on subcontracted engineering fees.

Quality

Prefabricated manufacturing occurs in a controlled manufacturing environment and follows specified ISO 9001 standards and thus ensures better and uniform quality. Moreover, in modular switchrack manufacturing companies, factory tolerances and workmanship are of higher quality and consistency in comparison to what can be achieved on-site

Safety

Given sub-assemblies are manufactured in a factory-controlled environment using dry materials, there is a reduced risk of problems associated with moisture, environmental hazards and dirt. In addition, indoor construction environments present considerably fewer risks for accidents and other liabilities.

Switchracks: Industrial Applications

Free-Standing Switchrack Assemblies have the following applications:

• To offer a complete motor control center in one integrated package.
• Indoor and outdoor applications.
• In wet, damp or corrosive locations like marine installations, lumber mills, sewage treatment plants and food preparation areas.
• In harsh and hazardous environments where flammable vapors or gases are present such as petroleum refineries, pipeline compressor stations, chemical and petrochemical plants, gas gathering plants, drilling rigs, both onshore and off-shore.
• In areas with hazardous dust like coal-handling facilities, grain processing and handling plants and specific food processing industries.
