What You Receive With Your Panel
Tested Before Dispatch
IPA tests panels before they leave the workshop. Depending on the project scope, testing can include Factory Acceptance Testing, continuity checks, insulation resistance testing, functional testing, visual inspections and torque checks.
This process helps identify issues before the panel reaches site, reducing the risk of commissioning delays and installation rework.
Practical Documentation
Clear documentation helps contractors install, test and maintain the panel with fewer questions.
- EPLAN or CAD schematics
- General arrangement drawings
- As-built drawings
- Cable schedules
- I/O lists
- Termination schedules
- Component schedules
- Test records
- Inspection reports
- AS/NZS 61439 design-verification records where required
Compliant Construction
Applicable switchboards are design-verified to AS/NZS 61439, with thermal performance, fault containment and system safety addressed as part of the project requirements. Testing is completed against relevant Australian electrical standards and customer specifications.
Prepared for Delivery
Completed panels are checked, documented and prepared for transport from our Luscombe workshop. IPA supplies electrical control panels Australia-wide, giving contractors and site teams a completed assembly that is ready for installation.
