## Connection of power cabinets: just about the complex
The power cabinet is, in fact, the heart of the power supply of any object, whether it is a plant, a shopping center or even a private house with great energy consumption. He distributes electricity, protecting the equipment from overloads and short circuits. Therefore, connecting a power cabinet is a responsible task requiring a professional approach. Independent attempts can lead to serious consequences, up to a fire or electric shock.
### Preparation for connection: important details

First, you need to lay cables from the power source to the cabinet, observing the laying rules and using protective corrugated pipes. Then you should connect the cables to the corresponding terminals inside the cabinet, strictly following the connection diagram. After that, the reliability of all connections is checked, any bare wires are excluded. At the final stage, the performance of all protective devices is checked, and a test is also tested for compliance with the parameters of the electrical network.
### Security above all: the necessary precautions
When working with electricity, safety is the main priority. Before starting work, it is necessary to completely turn off the power on the introductory shield. It is recommended to use special indicator screwdrivers to check the absence of voltage. It is necessary to observe all safety rules when working with electric installations, use protective equipment - dielectric gloves and shoes.
