Power Distribution Switchboards
Labtec’s Power Distribution Switchboards are designed and manufactured to provide a dependable, high-capacity electrical distribution solution for demanding industrial and infrastructure environments. Built to meet individual project requirements, systems can be configured for supplies up to 4000A and voltages up to 690V AC.
Using proven busbar technology and robust construction methods, our switchboards are engineered to deliver safe, reliable operation while supporting the performance requirements of modern electrical installations. Each assembly is designed to ensure long-term durability, ease of maintenance and operational resilience.
Where continuity of supply is critical, switchboards can incorporate automatic changeover functionality, including seamless transfer between power sources during planned maintenance or unexpected outages. Additional power quality enhancements such as harmonic filtering and power factor correction can also be integrated to help improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
From manufacturing facilities and utilities to energy and infrastructure projects, Labtec Power Distribution Switchboards provide a flexible, engineered solution for reliable electrical distribution.
Motor Control Centres (MCC)
At Labtec Ltd, our Motor Control Centres (MCCs) provide a reliable and efficient platform for power distribution, motor management, and process automation across a diverse range of industrial and commercial installations. Each system is designed and manufactured to meet the specific operational requirements of the project, ensuring compliance with relevant industry standards and client specifications.
Supported by our in-house manufacturing capabilities, we maintain complete control over the design and build process, enabling us to deliver tailored solutions that suit individual site requirements. Our low-voltage assemblies can be configured from Form 1 through to Form 4, with front-access, rear-access, or combined access arrangements available to simplify installation and maintenance. Cable entry options include top entry, bottom entry, or dual-entry configurations, while enclosure protection ratings of IP31, IP54, and IP65 ensure suitability for a variety of operating environments.
We offer a comprehensive range of motor starting and control technologies, including Direct-On-Line (DOL) starters, Soft Starters, Adjustable Speed Drives (ASD), Variable Speed Drives (VSD), and Low Harmonic Drive solutions. This versatility allows us to support applications ranging from straightforward pumps and ventilation systems through to demanding process equipment requiring precise speed and performance control.
Intelligent Motor Control Centres (IMCC)
At Labtec Ltd, our Intelligent Motor Control Centres (IMCCs) combine advanced monitoring and communication capabilities with the proven reliability of traditional motor control systems. Designed and manufactured to meet recognised industry standards, each solution is tailored to the operational requirements of the application while ensuring compliance with client specifications and regulatory expectations.
Engineered for today’s industrial and commercial environments, our IMCCs simplify installation through compact designs and integrated communication networks that significantly reduce wiring requirements and improve system connectivity. The result is faster deployment, reduced infrastructure costs, and a more streamlined control architecture.
By incorporating intelligent devices and advanced communications, operators benefit from greater visibility of equipment performance, energy consumption, and system status in real time. This enhanced insight supports faster decision-making, improved process control, and more efficient plant operation. Built-in diagnostics continuously monitor critical operating conditions, providing valuable information on motor performance, loading trends, maintenance requirements, and fault events. With access to this data, maintenance teams can adopt predictive maintenance strategies that minimise unplanned downtime, extend asset life, and improve overall system reliability.
Local Control Panels
At Labtec Ltd, our Local Control Panels provide an efficient and dependable solution for controlling individual processes and low-power automation applications. Compact in design and built for reliability, they are ideally suited to installations such as pumping stations, scraper systems, telemetry outstations, and fibre network infrastructure, delivering focused control exactly where it is required.
Every panel is designed and manufactured to meet the specific needs of the application, ensuring seamless integration with site operations and plant requirements. Available in configurations ranging from Form 1 to Form 4, our Local Control Panels can be supplied for both indoor and outdoor environments, offering flexibility across a wide variety of installations.
Manufactured using high-quality components and robust enclosure systems, our panels are built to perform in demanding industrial and commercial settings. Whether supporting a standalone process or forming part of a wider control system, Labtec Ltd delivers local control solutions that combine reliability, practicality, and long-term performance.
ICA Panels
At Labtec Ltd, our Instrumentation, Control and Automation (ICA) Panels are designed to provide intelligent control, monitoring, and data acquisition for a wide range of industrial and process applications. Built around the specific requirements of each project, these panels gather real-time information from field instrumentation, enabling operators to monitor performance, respond quickly to changing conditions, and make informed operational decisions.
At the core of every ICA panel is a powerful PLC-based control system, capable of coordinating multiple assets and process functions. From pumps and valves to dosing systems, treatment processes, and remote plant equipment, our solutions deliver reliable automation and precise control tailored to the demands of the application.
Designed for seamless integration with instrumentation, telemetry, and supervisory systems, our ICA panels provide a central point of control for both local and remote operation. Data from sensors, transmitters, and field devices can be processed, displayed, and communicated to higher-level systems, helping to improve visibility, operational efficiency, and process reliability.
Manufactured using high-quality components and industry-proven engineering practices, each panel is built to provide long-term performance in demanding industrial environments. Whether supporting a standalone installation, a site-wide upgrade, or a fully automated process system, Labtec Ltd delivers ICA panel solutions that combine flexibility, reliability, and intelligent control.
Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DfMA)
Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) is a proactive engineering approach that brings together design, production and operational requirements at the earliest stages of project development. By considering how systems will be manufactured, transported, installed, tested and maintained before detailed design is finalised, we create solutions that are more efficient throughout their lifecycle.
The DfMA process helps eliminate unnecessary complexity, improve coordination between project stakeholders and increase predictability during delivery. Components and assemblies can be manufactured and prepared in controlled factory environments, reducing site activities, limiting disruption and improving overall installation efficiency.
At Labtec, DfMA principles are incorporated throughout the design and engineering process to support quality, consistency and risk reduction. By validating designs against real-world manufacturing and installation requirements from the beginning, projects benefit from improved reliability, faster deployment and a more seamless progression from concept through to commissioning and long-term operation.
