The invention relates to the field of energy-saving control of a central air-conditioning system, in particular to an energy-saving control cabinet of an air conditioning unit. The energy-saving control cabinet comprises a cabinet body and a cabinet door. A three-phase circuit breaker, three current transformers, a power frequency bypass contactor, a variable frequency switching contactor, a motor overload protector, a frequency converter, an intermediate relay and a single-phase miniature circuit breaker I are arranged on a lower mounting plate in the cabinet body. A single-phase miniature circuit breaker II, a direct-current switch power supply and an intelligent data processing unit are arranged on an upper mounting plate in the cabinet body. An intelligent operation touch screen is disposed on an upper cabinet door plate of the cabinet door. An alternating-current ammeter, an electricity meter, an alternating-current voltmeter, a signal indicating lamp, a manual frequency adjusting knob, a frequency operator operation panel, a start-stop button, a manual / automatic selection change-over switch, a three-phase main circuit breaker operating handle and a power frequency / variable frequency selection switch are disposed on a lower cabinet door plate of the cabinet door. By the energy-saving control cabinet, water valves and fans of the air conditioning unit can be intelligently controlled according to load changes, simplicity in mounting and debugging is realized, and energy-saving control on the air conditioning unit is realized.
