Control panel fabrication is quite a challenging operation. This job should always be placed in the hands of experts with vast engineering skill and ample experience to do the job right the first time.  

When you hire a professional company, they will follow the best control panel fabrication practices.

Here are some of the best practices the experts follow.

Your service provider will make sure to check that there is plenty of space in the panel design. In most cases the hardware is packed tightly together, creating a small enclosure. This is to save material and space, but it is a good practice to use a larger enclosure whenever it is possible. Control panels that have ample space are more organized and cleaner.

An expert in control panel fabrication will ensure the wire duct is large enough accommodate all the necessary wiring for present and future applications. It is important to plan ahead and keep some extra room in the wire duct once all the wires have run through it, including the field wires. According to experts working on control panels and power distribution systems, many builders use self-tapping screws to save time during the fabrication process. While it can save time, these screws do not provide the strong connection required for the hardware to be mounted. The more labor-intensive method is always better than using self-tapping screws.

These are just a few of the best practices for control panel fabrication. When you choose a reliable and experienced control panel system builder, you will have peace of mind that all best practices are followed properly.
