A switchgear configurator builds and prices electrical distribution equipment by selecting voltage rating, bus ampacity, breaker schedule, enclosure NEMA or IP rating, and layout, while the rules engine validates interrupting ratings, fault current, and connected load so every quoted lineup is compliant and buildable.
The real selections behind a switchgear or panel lineup
Low and medium voltage classes such as 208V, 480V, 600V, and 5kV/15kV, with three-phase configuration and system grounding options.
Main and branch breaker schedule with frame, trip, and pole selection, plus interrupting rating checks against available fault current.
Main bus ampacity in copper or aluminum, with connected-load totals validated so the schedule never exceeds the bus.
NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 4X, and 12 or equivalent IP ratings selected for the environment, with gauge, finish, and gasketing.
Section count, device spaces, metering, surge protection, and physical fit verified across the lineup.
UL 891 / UL 67 references, SCCR ratings, arc-flash labeling, and required clearances captured with each configuration.
Quote complex lineups without errors or engineering bottlenecks
Interrupting ratings, SCCR, and bus ampacity are checked together, so no under-rated lineup is ever quoted.
NEMA and IP ratings are matched to the environment, eliminating field returns from wrong-rated enclosures.
Estimators build complete breaker schedules and price lineups without waiting on engineering for each job.
Each lineup yields a submittal and BOM. See it within the industrial automation configurator platform.
