FAQs
Protection & Control Panel panels are designed to monitor and protect electrical systems with the purpose of ensuring the system can be controlled and the critical infrastructure is protected from damage. Protection and control panels are mainly utilized to monitor and control Utility and industrial power systems.
Most common Protection panels are:
- Generator Protection
- Transformer Protection
- Line Protection
- Bus Protection
- Feeder Protection
- Motor Protection
Protection and control panels generally have: IED (Intelligent Electronic Devices), selector switches, meters, current test links and miniature circuit breakers or fuse holders on the front. Power supplies, auxiliary relays and terminal blocks mounted internally. Terminal rails allow wiring from the devices & field to be wired to the panel.
An electrical control panel is typically a metal enclosure containing the necessary electrical components needed to control and monitor specific electrical and/or mechanical processes. Each electrical component inside a control panel has a specific purpose in the scheme needed to control or protect the different aspects of a production line or monitoring process.
Control panels are comprised of:
- Enclosures
- Fusing & Protection
- Power and Energy Monitoring and Control
- Power Distribution Systems
- Circuit and Load Protection
- Thermal Management
- Motion and Drives
- Safety systems
- Programmers, timers, and variable frequency drives

- Power factor correction, surge protection and uninterruptible power supplies
- Relays and contactors
Control Panel Protection is a general term and has multiple meanings.
Exterior Panel Protection – Panels require ratings based on the environment they are being installed in, the North American standard is called (NEMA), these Nema ratings indicate the level of protection the panel has based on the environment it is in.
Electrical Protection (certification standards) – Electrical panels need to be fabricated and certified to a level of safety, Safety standards are dictated by numerous governing authorities, such as by the local jurisdiction such as ESA,NEC, CSA,UL and more. Keltour tests and designs all products to a minimum of CSA/UL certification.
