ProPanel™ Industrial-Grade Modular Electrical Distribution Panel

Reliable, Safe, and Efficient Power Distribution for Demanding Environments

The ProPanel™ Distribution Panel is engineered to be the central nervous system of your electrical infrastructure, providing robust, safe, and organized power distribution. Designed for demanding industrial, commercial, and large-scale residential applications, it ensures optimal performance and protection for all connected circuits.

Key Features & Innovations

• Robust & Durable Enclosure:
  • Constructed from heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel (or optional Stainless Steel 304/316 for corrosive environments).
  • NEMA Rated: Available in NEMA 1 (Indoor General Purpose), NEMA 3R (Outdoor Rain-tight), NEMA 4 (Indoor/Outdoor Watertight), and NEMA 4X (Corrosion Resistant) to suit diverse environments.
  • Powder-Coated Finish: Electrostatic polyester powder coating provides superior corrosion resistance, scratch protection, and a professional aesthetic.
  • Secure Access: Hinged door with robust, lockable latches or a three-point locking mechanism for enhanced security and authorized access only.
  • Ample Wiring Space: Generous gutters and wire bending space facilitate neat, safe, and compliant wiring, reducing installation time.
• High-Performance Internal Components:
  • Solid Copper Bus Bars: High-conductivity, tin-plated copper bus bars ensure efficient power transmission and minimal heat buildup. Available in 3-phase, 4-wire + ground or single-phase configurations.
  • Main Circuit Breaker/Disconnect Switch: Integrated main breaker (MCCB or Air Circuit Breaker options) provides robust primary overcurrent protection and a central point of disconnection. Rated for high Short-Circuit Current Ratings (SCCR).
  • Modular Branch Circuit Breaker Compatibility: Accommodates a wide range of standard thermal-magnetic or electronic trip branch circuit breakers (e.g., MCBs, MCCBs) from leading manufacturers, offering flexibility in circuit protection.
  • Isolated Neutral & Ground Bus Bars: Clearly labeled, dedicated neutral and ground bus bars with sufficient terminals for all circuits ensure proper wiring and safety.
  • Surge Protection Device (SPD) Integration: Optional built-in or easily mountable surge protection devices to safeguard sensitive electronics from transient voltage spikes.
• Advanced Safety & Protection:
  • Comprehensive Overcurrent Protection: Main and branch circuit breakers protect against overloads and short circuits, preventing equipment damage and electrical fires.
  • Ground Fault and Arc Fault Protection: Optional integration of GFCI/AFCI breakers for enhanced personal and property safety.
  • Clear Labeling: Internally and externally marked circuit identification ensures easy identification and safe operation during maintenance.
  • Dead-Front Design: Internal cover plates prevent accidental contact with live parts, ensuring operator safety during servicing.
  • Interlocking Mechanisms: Optional mechanical or electrical interlocks to prevent hazardous conditions, such as backfeeding or simultaneous closing of specific circuits.
• Ease of Installation & Maintenance:
  • Flexible Mounting Options: Available in wall-mount, surface-mount, or freestanding/floor-mount configurations.
  • Knockouts/Gland Plates: Strategically placed knockouts or removable gland plates for versatile conduit entry and exit.
  • Field-Installable Accessories: Designed for easy addition of accessories like metering kits, control modules, or additional surge suppressors.
  • Maintenance-Friendly Layout: Internal components are logically arranged for quick troubleshooting and replacement.
