Control Panel Builder

A Control panel builder plays a critical role in the manufacturing and operation of various types of machinery and equipment. These skilled professionals design and build control panels that house the electrical and electronic components that control the operation of the machinery or equipment. The control panels they build can be found in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, construction, transportation, and power generation.

The process of fabricating a control panel begins with the design phase. The control panel builder will work with the customer to understand their specific requirements and create a design that meets those needs. This includes determining the size and layout of the panel, selecting the appropriate components, and ensuring that the panel is compliant with industry standards and regulations.

Once the design is complete, the control panel builder will move on to the fabrication phase. This involves assembling the various components of the panel, such as switches, relays, and circuit breakers, and wiring them together. The builder must ensure that all connections are secure and that the panel is properly grounded to prevent electrical hazards.

The final phase of the process is the testing phase. The control panel builder will test the panel to ensure that it is functioning properly and that all components are connected correctly. This may include performing continuity tests, power-on tests, and functional tests. Once the panel has passed all testing, it is ready to be shipped to the customer for installation.

Control panel fabrication is a highly skilled trade that requires knowledge of electrical and electronic systems, as well as experience with the tools and equipment used in the fabrication process. This includes knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) which are the standards for electrical wiring, installation, and inspection.

In conclusion, control panel builders play a critical role in the manufacturing and operation of machinery and equipment by designing and building control panels that house the electrical and electronic components that control the operation of the machinery or equipment. This process requires a high level of knowledge, skill, and experience to ensure that the panels are designed and built to the highest standards and that they are safe and reliable for use in a wide range of industries.
