Today, we received a favorable comment from a Philippine customer two years ago. The customer had previously ordered a soft start control cabinet from us for use on flood control pumps. After two years of testing, the product did not have any defects and was highly recognized by the customer. Two years ago, this customer told us that he was deeply troubled by floods due to climate problems in the Philippines. At the same time, local industrial infrastructure projects often face power fluctuations and shock problems when equipment is started. Guozhiyun designed a soft start control cabinet based on the needs of Philippine customers. The shell is made of all stainless steel and is durable and adaptable to the local humid climate. The soft start cabinet can achieve smooth starting of the load, reduce the starting current, and reduce the impact of the motor on the motor and the power grid due to the large current when the motor starts, thereby improving the quality of electricity and saving energy. The customer used this soft start cabinet on the flood control pump, which improved the flood control capability and solved the problem of floods caused by electricity for the customer. This type of control cabinet is not only used for flood drainage, but also for water supply, sewage treatment, exhaust and other system control.      

Guozhiyun solved the problem of power load fluctuation and substandard power factor for customers in Thailand all year round. A set of capacitor compensation cabinets was customized and designed. Capacitor compensation cabinets can reduce reactive current in the power system. These reactive currents are exchanged back and forth between the power source and the load, occupying the capacity of the power grid and reducing the power supply capacity of the power supply equipment. By compensating for reactive current, the overall power factor is improved. When the power factor is close to 1, the reactive power flow in the power grid is reduced, the line loss is reduced, the operating efficiency of the equipment is improved, and the electricity cost is reduced accordingly. Main features of Guozhiyun capacitor compensation cabinet: High Efficiency: Adopting well-known brand capacitors and advanced control algorithms to ensure high efficiency power factor correction. Intelligence: Integrated intelligent monitoring system, real-time monitoring of power system status, fault warning and data analysis Durability: Guozhiyun's capacitor compensation cabinet has a compact design, easy installation, low maintenance cost, and is suitable for automation companies of all sizes.    

A large machinery and equipment factory in Lebanon expressed to us the need for efficient management and stable operation of the power system to ensure that the factory's machinery and equipment will not stop suddenly due to power outages. Guozhiyun customized an ATS (automatic transfer switch) control cabinet for them to provide critical power protection.   When the main power supply fluctuates or fails, the Guozhiyun ATS control cabinet can automatically switch to the backup power supply at the fastest switching speed. After switching to the backup power supply, the ATS control cabinet continues to monitor and manage the backup power supply. It will adjust the load appropriately according to the capacity and characteristics of the backup power supply. If the backup power supply capacity is relatively small, the power supply to some non-critical equipment may be temporarily restricted to ensure the normal operation of critical production equipment. This fast and smooth switching capability effectively avoids the huge losses that may be caused by production interruptions, such as equipment damage, production schedule delays, and waste of raw materials.
