1.2 Components of a lighting panel
a. Electrical enclosure
Normally, the body of the shell is made of high-grade material that is resistant to rust; anti-power transmission; resist impacts from outside the environment.
The body part is like the home of all internal components.
Both plays the role of protecting the control system and ensuring the safety of the user.
b. MCCB circuit breaker
This is the part that plays a role in short circuit, protecting other components.
c. Timer
It is a time controller to set up time to turn on and off devices.
d. Copper bar
Play the role of connecting electrical devices together to form a complete lighting system.
d. LED lights in the lighting panel
This is a specialized lamp in electrical cabinets with an on / off switch.
Its apply to many different types of electrical cabinets: outdoor electrical cabinets, industrial electrical cabinets.
Lighting panel lights help control operations; electrical system repair in the cabinet takes place more conveniently and quickly.
2. The principle diagram of the lighting panel
2.1 Drawings of lighting panels
Each type of cabinet will have different electrical control settings. However, basically all contain parts like the drawing below.

2.2 Connection diagram of the lighting panel
- In order to connect the lighting control system, electrical technical expertise is required.
- Simultaneously, the drawing must be correctly connected to ensure the installers' safety and users in the future.
Refer to how to connect the MBT lighting panel
2.3 How lights in electrical cabinets work?
- The operating lighting system is controlled and switched automatically by the time relay installed inside the electrical cabinet. Each cabinet will be set up to operate to suit the lighting devices that are connected.
- Daytime mode automatically turns lights off 100%.
- Evening mode from 18:00 to 22:00, the system will automatically turn on 100% of the lights.
- Late-night mode from 22h-6am turns on ⅓ number of bulbs to avoid wasting electricity and reduce monthly electricity bills.
- When turning on the light, the voltage must be stable at 220V during the control cabinet's operation.
