Control Panels

Oct 19, 2020

The Goodwin fully automatic control panel has four main modes of operation:
 
1. Manual mode
The operator can Start and Stop the pump as required.
 
2. Automatic with Float switch start
When the high level float switch is activated, the pump will start. When the low current relay senses the drop in power, the pump will stop
 
3. Automatic with Timer start
When the Start Timer is energised (user defined time), the pump will start. When the low current relay senses the drop in power, the pump will stop.
 
4. Automatic with Float switch & Timer start
In this mode, both the high level float switchand the start timer are used. This means that at a pre-determined time the pump will start, but is the slurry level becomes high before this time, the pump will start. When the low current relays senses the drop in power, the pump will stop.
 
 
All Goodwin control panels protect against:
 
  • Earth leakage faults - damage to the cable or pump
  • Current overload - of the pump
  • Phase imbalance - voltage variation of the incoming supply phases
  • Phase rotation - to ensure the pump runs in the correct direction
  • Phase loss - the loss of one or more of the incoming phases
  • Under voltage - if the incoming voltage is too low
  • Over Voltage - if the incoming voltage is too high
 
The benefits of using a Goodwin fully automatic control panel:
 
  • The panel can operate in "Manual" mode, where the operator can Start and Stop the pump as required.
  • When used in "Automatic" mode, it extends the life of the pumps wearing parts, as it will not be left running on snore (running but not pumping) for extended periods of time. The Goodwin panel does this by using an electronic low current relay, which detects when the pump is running on a light load (i.e. Snore).
  • Before starting, a Xenon beacon flashes and an audible (100Db) alarm sounds to warn operatives.
  • The panel is fitted with a lockable "isolator" for safe maintenance.
  • The panel has the facility to be connected to a "Remote" Start / Stop station, including an Emergency Stop.
  • The 90kW & 112kW panels can be supplied for either "Direct-On-Line" starting, or with "Soft Start". All 30kW panels are designed for "Direct-On-Line" starting.
  • All panels are IP65 rated as standard, and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
  • All panels are fitted with rear mounting brackets as standard.
