Local Control
Panel (LCP)

Local control panels are generally there to control the machine or equipment locally or remotely and installed in the close proximity of the controlled device.

A Local Control Panel is used in the automation of the machinery in motor control applications that are a part of water-based or Oil Based systems. This type of control panel consists of several power components that control the function of the pump motor, and also the various devices for operator control. To enable the automation of the machinery, additional sensors are employed. Pump Control Panels are available in a wide range of designs and configurations. They use distinct equipment like circuit breakers, switches, combination starters, vacuum and electromechanical contactors to control the various motor-controlled applications across water-based systems.

Most Pump Control Panels are used outdoors. In such instances, they are protected with the help of NEMA 3R or 4X rated enclosures. What purpose does this enclosure serve? It enables you to install the control panel near the water supply system like a well, and you needn’t worry about the control panel suffering water damage.

Others are designed according to the specific industrial requirements. There are specific applications that require a customized design, and such designs are developed to meet the preferences of the client.
