Multiple 480 contactors in one enclosure

[PeeEeLSee]

Hello all,

I have a question and would like a few opinions if possible. 5x 480 outlets control 5 machine. I want to run them through a contactor each and having PLC control when its able to have power. Any big safety concern in shoving all 5 contactors in a quite medium-large sized enclosure? Will be having 5 line going into the box from these 5 outlets and 5 load back out of the enclosure and into the machines.

Thanks again.

Should be no issue....contactors are electromechanical devices, so no real concern about heat dissipation of electronics. Try to keep wire entry and exit space above and below contractors reasonable for maintenance purposes, but other than that, should be fine.

Practically, it should work. Be aware of LOTO requirements, especially if the 5 supply lines are coming from different sources.
