Electrical control panels are a core part of industrial and commercial electrical systems. They house the components used to control, monitor, and protect equipment such as motors, pumps, conveyors, and automation systems. Typical components inside a panel include breakers, contactors, relays, PLCs, VFDs, power supplies, and metering devices.
Control panels are designed based on multiple factors like voltage levels, load type, environmental conditions, and safety requirements. Different applications require different panel types, such as power distribution panels, motor control panels, PLC automation panels, and VFD panels. Using the right type of panel is critical for both system performance and operator safety.
