Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If copper bars are extensively used for connecting power distribution components in a cabinet body, then reliable current conduction is achieved, but the internal structure becomes complex, assembly time increases, and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The power distribution system is segmented into modular units, each with integrated copper bars. This segmentation reduces the overall complexity by breaking down the extensive copper bar network into manageable, pre-assembled modules that can be independently handled and installed.
Solution Approach 2:
The copper bars are merged with the power distribution components to form integrated modules. By combining the copper bars with the power distribution units during manufacturing, the system reduces the number of separate connection steps required during assembly, thereby simplifying the internal structure and reducing assembly time while maintaining reliable current conduction.
2Reliability
If copper bars are extensively used for connecting power distribution components, then current distribution is ensured, but assembly time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The copper bars are pre-assembled and integrated with the power distribution components during manufacturing before the modules are installed in the cabinet. This preliminary action ensures that current distribution connections are already established and tested, eliminating the need for time-consuming on-site assembly and connection work.
Solution Approach 2:
By merging the copper bars with power distribution components into integrated modules, the system reduces the number of separate assembly steps. The modules are designed to be installed as complete units, thereby reducing assembly time while ensuring reliable current distribution throughout the system.
3Reliability
If a large quantity of copper bars are used for connections, then complete power distribution is achieved, but costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The power distribution system is divided into modular units, each containing integrated copper bars. This segmentation allows for optimized copper usage within each module, ensuring complete power distribution is achieved within the module while reducing the total quantity of copper bars needed for the entire system compared to extensive point-to-point connections.
Solution Approach 2:
By merging copper bars with power distribution components into integrated modules, the system achieves complete power distribution through the modular architecture. This approach reduces the total quantity of copper bars required by eliminating redundant connections and optimizing the copper bar layout within each integrated module.
