A custom control panel is built as per the order requirements of the customer and is designed for a specific purpose. Custom control panels are unique in their designs and the material used to meet the exact requirements of the customer. Depending on the different types of operations, the types of these custom control panels vary. High efficiency of operation is always desirable from these panels as they are modulated to meet the needs of the customer. [ Read More ]

Electrical surges cause process and equipment failure and reduce electrical components and motors’ lives. Motor starters are a kind of protective equipment for the motors that not only provide for their operation but also prevent electrical overloading. The electrical equipment acts as a “fail-safe” controller that deactivates the essential components and saves the system whenever the current exceeds the safe limit. A short circuit and fault may impact the system, and in these cases, a soft starter is reliable security equipment that protects the process and the system from damages. Below are some critical aspects of the appropriate configuration and use of a motor soft starter that should be kept in mind.  [ Read More ]

Thankfully, you can now take care of your power bills with the help of a lighting control panel. Mentioned below are some of the benefits of why using a controlled lightening panel will be beneficial for you. [ Read More ]

It is necessary to be aware of the basic and essential elements/aspects while choosing an electrical control panel or cabinet. The electrical panels are exposed to certain environmental variables and need to store adequate components (in a proper way) for controlling the process machinery and the electricity consuming systems. Therefore, apart from the build quality, there may be many other aspects to consider when looking for an efficient and appropriate control panel design. Below are four of the critical and key aspects of the design of an industrial control panel, which should be evaluated carefully to ensure that a safe, cost-effective, and reliable option has been deployed to control electrical supply in a facility.

The NEC or National Electric Code defines industrial control panels as an assembly consisting of two or more components forming power-circuits. It may also be any other combination of control and power circuit components. The panels often come in pre-assembled forms, and the factory-fit and wired assemblies include different and multiple control equipments like the motor controllers, switches, relays, and other components. One important aspect to note here is that an industrial panel listed in UL (Underwriters Laboratory) will not have an externally connected load.
