How to Select an Electrical Panel for a Factory

Build a load schedule

List equipment input ratings, operating hours, simultaneous demand, starting method and future additions. Record utility and generator capacities, supply conditions and the proposed single-line diagram.

Specify safety and reliability

Establish fault levels, protection coordination, earthing, isolation, access and required continuity. Assess harmonics, motor starting, enclosure temperature and environmental exposure.

Practical project example

For a new production area, list motors, lighting, HVAC and electronic drives separately. Review starting demand, essential-load backup and fault levels with the electrical designer before comparing panel quotations.

Review before manufacture

Approve drawings, feeder schedules, component ratings, control logic and cable interfaces. Request assembly verification and factory checks appropriate to the design, then plan installation and site commissioning with qualified personnel.

Frequently asked questions

What information should I provide for a project recommendation?

Share the equipment datasheets, load or string schedule, installation conditions and single-line diagram. Confirm the proposed configuration with the project electrical designer.

Are the examples a GEESYS product specification?

No. Worked examples explain selection principles. Use the selected product datasheet and approved project design for actual ratings and installation requirements.
