Abstract

f electrical power in factories or buildings. Through separate wirings, the electrical input that comes into the distribution panel is split up and sent to different parts of the building. At certain temperature, some electric distribution panel components may be highly flammable, posing a fire or explosion risk. As a solution to the issue of excessive temperature rise in the distribution panel, an automatic temperature control system was designed and implemented. The prototype design includes a mechanical thermostat that also functions as a sensor, an electric fan, and a miniature circuit breaker. The design works in such a way that the temperature controller actuates the cooling system when the panel's temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius. The results of the test show that the designed system can detect changes in temperature and turn on the cooling fan to ensure the panel's temperature does not exceed the safe level temperature of 40 0C. This system serves as a tool for solving temperature recognition issues in electric power distribution panels.
