Friday, June 25th, 2021

Egan Company has provided control panel services since 2002. Our skilled technicians are members of Local Union 292.

DAILY JOB OF AN EGAN CONTROL PANEL TECHNICIAN

Control panel technicians assemble, wire, and test electrical control panels in our UL 508A panel shop. Our technicians work closely with in-house control engineers who design schematics and layouts for each panel. By testing every panel, our technicians ensure the quality and performance of the panels before they leave the production facility. 

The panels built in our UL 508A panel shop are the brains behind our customers’ manufacturing or automated processes. These complex panels control everything from mixers, conveyors, and motors to pumps, lights, valves—and everything in between.

Why is UL 508A Certification Important?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2021

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is the largest and best known independent, not-for-profit laboratory in the world that conducts safety and quality testing on a wide range of products. UL is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an audited designator that can designate its standards as American National Standards.

As the standard for industrial control panels, UL 508A certification demonstrates compliance to national safety standards – this certification ensures the proper design, assembly and wiring methods of components within the control panel. Having the UL 508A mark indicates that all requirements have been met and that the industrial control panel manufacturing facility is subject to inspection at any point to certify that standards (including the National Electric Code & NFPA 79) are being upheld. Electrical inspectors look for this mark as evidence of third-party certification.

For instance, at Egan Company, safety is our number one priority, and we are proud to carry several UL certifications. Our UL 508A Panel Shop designs and builds custom, industrial control panels for customers who depend on quality and system design expertise. With precision assembly, panels of all shapes and sizes come to life under UL code. Customers who rely on panels built at Egan include food & beverage producers, concrete producers, and many other industrial product manufacturers.

For customers, having this UL 508A certification means that Egan is furthering our promise to provide safe products.
