Fabrication of Panels and MCCs
Every panel is built to order: starter panels with variable frequency drives (VFDs) and soft starters, complete motor control centers (MCCs), distribution panels and process control panels. Each one leaves our shop tested, with documented FAT, and arrives ready to be wired up on site.
The panels we build
Every panel is designed around the specific requirements of your application
Power and starter panels
With VFDs, soft starters or direct-on-line (DOL) starting. Integrated protection, metering and communications.
Pumping, HVAC, compressors, fans
Process control panels
PLCs, HMIs, I/O modules, redundant power supplies. For automating production lines, pumping and HVAC.
Production lines, dosing, treatment
Motor Control Centers (MCCs)
Multiple starter buckets in a single enclosure. Distribution busbars, coordinated protection, centralized communications.
Plants with 5+ motors, pumping stations
Why build with Beiton
Our fabrication process
Electrical and mechanical engineering
Single-line diagram design, mechanical enclosure layout, component selection and heat dissipation calculations.
Component selection
Breakers, contactors, VFDs, PLCs, terminal blocks, wire duct — all selected for the application, not off a generic catalog.
Shop fabrication
Mechanical assembly, power and control wiring to standard, cable marking and component labeling with full traceability.
Documented FAT testing
Point-to-point verification, insulation testing, start sequences and fault simulation. All recorded in a protocol.
On-site installation
Shipping, positioning and wiring of the power feeders and the field signals.
Commissioning
Final parameterization, SAT testing under real load, optimization and handover of as-built documentation.
Panels built in our shop
Three steps and typical lead times
Typical lead times for a control panel with one or two VFDs and a PLC. An MCC with 8 to 12 starters takes 8 to 12 weeks end to end.
- 01 Typical time 1–2 weeks
Engineering and drawing approval
Single-line and wiring diagrams, enclosure layout and bill of materials. You approve the drawings before we buy and build.
- 02 Typical time 3–5 weeks
Shop fabrication
Assembly, power and control wiring, wire marking and component labeling with traceability, in our shop in Panama.
- 03 Typical time 1–2 days of FAT
FAT and shipping
Point-to-point checks, insulation tests, sequences and fault simulation, recorded in a test protocol before the panel ships to the plant.
If you are comparing suppliers, see what is included in our electrical and control panels in Panama.
Starter panels are sized with the motor: we also supply industrial electric motors.
What clients ask before we start
Short answers to the questions that usually come up in the first technical conversation. Exact lead times are confirmed in the proposal.
Q01 How long does it take to build a panel?
Q02 Can we witness the FAT?
Q03 Which component brands do you use?
Q04 Do you build stainless steel panels?
Do you need a control panel for your project?
We build custom panels with in-house engineering — from the single-line diagram through commissioning at your plant.
