PowerPanels

Panel Types

Comprehensive engineering guides for every major type of electrical panel assembly. Each guide covers design principles, IEC 61439 compliance, component selection, and application considerations.

Main Distribution Board (MDB)
Central power distribution unit that receives incoming supply and distributes it to sub-circuits via protective devices.
Power Control Center (PCC)
High-capacity switchgear assembly for centralized control and distribution of electrical power in industrial facilities.
Motor Control Center (MCC)
Centralized assembly of motor starters, variable drives, and protection devices for coordinated motor control.
Automatic Power Factor Correction Panel (APFC)
Automatically switches capacitor banks to maintain power factor near unity and reduce reactive power penalties.
Automatic Transfer Switch Panel (ATS)
Monitors power sources and automatically transfers load between mains and backup supply during outages.
Variable Frequency Drive Panel (VFD Panel)
Houses VFD units with input/output filtering, protection, and bypass circuits for precise motor speed control.
Generator Control Panel
Controls generator start/stop sequences, synchronization, load sharing, and protective relay functions.
Metering Panel
Centralizes energy metering instruments, CTs, PTs, and communication modules for power monitoring and billing.
Lighting Distribution Board
Distributes power to lighting circuits with individual protection, dimming controls, and energy management features.
Busbar Trunking System (BTS)
Prefabricated power distribution system using enclosed busbars for efficient, flexible high-current power routing.
PLC Automation Panel
Integrates programmable logic controllers, I/O modules, and communication interfaces for industrial process automation.
Soft Starter Panel
Provides controlled voltage ramp-up for smooth motor starting, reducing mechanical stress and inrush current.
Harmonic Filter Panel
Mitigates harmonic distortion from non-linear loads using passive or active filtering to protect equipment and improve power quality.
DC Distribution Panel
Distributes DC power from rectifiers, batteries, or solar inverters to DC loads with appropriate protection.
Capacitor Bank Panel
Houses fixed or switched capacitor banks with detuning reactors for reactive power compensation.
Custom Engineered Panel
Bespoke switchgear assemblies designed to meet unique project requirements beyond standard configurations.
Medium Voltage Switchgear
Metal-clad or metal-enclosed switchgear for switching and protecting circuits operating between 1 kV and 36 kV.
Relay Protection Panel
Houses numerical and electromechanical relays for overcurrent, differential, distance, and other protection schemes.
