Hobbs & Associates was awarded a project with a steam plant customer who needed several ventilation systems with multiple motor control cabinets. While putting together the project, Hobbs quickly realized that the ventilation package requirements were calling for multiple Sprecher + Schuh components which created a fairly large undertaking to manage the controls package. Thus, they considered a more effective approach would be to install the components in multi-motor starter panels.

Hobb’s next step: Contact their Sprecher + Schuh Sales Representative, Rich Lussier at Levine, Lectronics and Lectric. Hobbs is well aware that Sprecher + Schuh’s Panel Shop builds compact and efficient custom control panels. They knew that Sprecher would be a great team partner on this project.

Rich connected Hobbs with the Sprecher + Schuh Engineering Team - Mark Harris and Michael Burright. Mark and Mike worked with Hobbs to design a few control cabinets that included hopper panels to manage coal for steam boilers and multiple ventilation systems.

The Engineering Team designed 3 different panels - a NID Hopper Control, NID Penthouse Control and Compressor Control.

  • The (4) hopper panels are enclosed in a 42”H x 30”W 4X stainless steel enclosure - and the content consisted of (16) 1.5HP motor starters KTA7 + CA7. The auxiliaries on the CA7 contactors were wired in pairs (parallel) for damper actuators. The panel also included OFF/ON selector switches and pilot lights for each motor starter.

  • The (4) penthouse control panels are enclosed in a 24”H x 20”W 4X stainless steel enclosure - and the content consisted of (4) 1.5HP motor starters KTA7 + CA7.

  • The (2) compressor control cabinet is the last panel and is very similar to the penthouse panel being enclosed in a Type 4X stainless steel enclosure with the same control circuit. The CA7 auxiliaries are wired to terminals with 120VAC for damper actuators.

This ventilation package met all of Hobbs’ customer’s requirements due to Sprecher + Schuh’s management of the panel(s) layout. This gave Hobbs an edge, and they won the bid.

Hobbs & Associates, a long time Sprecher + Schuh customer, was very pleased with the work of the Sprecher + Schuh Engineering Team and Panel Shop. They plan to utilize the Sprecher + Schuh custom panel shop and engineering support to secure future business!
