LOW-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR BUILT RIGHT
CUSTOM LOW-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR SOLUTIONS
from simple to sophisticated
At Enercon, we design and manufacture custom low-voltage switchgear for industrial, power generation, distribution, backup power, and critical infrastructure applications—including the complex projects others won’t touch or simply can’t. Complex specs? Tight timelines? Unique configurations? That’s where we thrive.
But just because we can handle the complicated doesn’t mean we can’t deliver the simple. Whether your project needs a straightforward lineup or a fully integrated control and switchgear solution, we bring the same level of quality, precision, and attention to detail every time.
​
As a UL 1558-certified shop, Enercon designs and manufactures custom low-voltage switchgear up to 1,000V for power generation, distribution, and backup systems. We work with all major circuit breaker brands and tailor every build to fit your system requirements—no off-the-shelf shortcuts.
​
From basic backup systems to critical infrastructure, Enercon delivers the low-voltage switchgear that keeps power flowing and projects on track.

Complex or simple—we make it easy. Talk to our team about your next switchgear solution.
How to Choose the Right Low-Voltage Switchgear
Choosing the right low-voltage switchgear starts with the electrical requirements of the application—not simply the size of the lineup. System voltage, amperage, available fault current, circuit breaker configuration, protection and control requirements, installation environment, available footprint, and future capacity should all be considered when specifying equipment for an industrial or critical-power project.
Voltage and System Requirements
Confirm the system voltage, power sources, distribution requirements, and how the switchgear will integrate with generators, controls, and other electrical equipment.
​
Amperage and Capacity
The switchgear’s current rating must support the electrical load and anticipated system requirements. For example, a 3,000-amp lineup provides greater current capacity than a 2,000-amp lineup, but the higher rating can also affect bus design, equipment footprint, breaker sizing, thermal considerations, and project cost. The correct rating should be based on the electrical design rather than simply choosing the highest available capacity.
Protection and Breaker Configuration
Circuit breaker selection, fault-current requirements, protective devices, and system coordination all influence the final switchgear configuration.
​
Controls, Footprint, and Installation
Projects with limited space, complex controls, or significant field interconnections may benefit from integrating controls and switchgear into a coordinated lineup.
​
Enercon works with customers to evaluate these requirements and develop custom low-voltage switchgear around the needs of the power system rather than forcing the project into a standard configuration.

​
What to Look for in a Low-Voltage Switchgear Manufacturer
There is no single “best” low-voltage switchgear manufacturer for every project. The right provider depends on the electrical requirements, required certifications, equipment configuration, circuit breaker preferences, controls integration, testing requirements, available space, project schedule, and long-term service needs.
​
When evaluating low-voltage switchgear manufacturers, consider:
UL 1558 Capabilities
Confirm that the manufacturer can provide equipment built to the standards required by the project.
​
Custom Engineering
Complex industrial and critical-power applications may require equipment designed around unique electrical specifications, footprints, controls, or installation conditions rather than standard catalog configurations.
​
Circuit Breaker Flexibility
The ability to work with multiple major circuit breaker brands can help meet owner standards, compatibility requirements, and long-term serviceability needs.
Controls Integration
Integrating controls and switchgear can reduce equipment footprint, field wiring, site interconnections, and installation complexity.
​
Testing and Project Support
Engineering collaboration, testing, validation, and support throughout the project can be particularly important for mission-critical power systems.

Low Voltage Switchgear FAQ
To request a quote for custom low-voltage switchgear, provide your voltage requirements, system application, circuit breaker preferences, control integration needs, available footprint, compliance requirements, timeline, and any project drawings or specifications. This helps Enercon evaluate the configuration, identify engineering requirements, and recommend a switchgear solution that fits the power system instead of forcing an off-the-shelf design.
Yes, Enercon can build custom low-voltage switchgear around major circuit breaker brands based on the project’s electrical design, owner standards, and system requirements. This is especially useful for facilities that need brand consistency, replacement compatibility, serviceability, or integration with existing power distribution and backup power systems.
Yes, custom low-voltage switchgear is a strong fit for data center backup power systems because it can be engineered around redundancy, generator integration, load requirements, and available electrical room space. For data centers, switchgear must support reliable power distribution, fast transfer coordination, and long-term uptime requirements without creating unnecessary installation complexity.
Integrated control and switchgear can benefit data center power infrastructure by reducing equipment footprint, simplifying site interconnects, and improving coordination between backup power controls and power distribution equipment. This is valuable in data centers where space, uptime, commissioning speed, and system reliability are major project considerations.
Integrated controls and switchgear are a strong fit when a project needs to reduce floor space, simplify field wiring, shorten installation time, or limit the number of site interconnects. Combining controls and switchgear into one coordinated lineup can help power generation projects move faster while reducing complexity during installation and commissioning.
UL 1558 certification means the low-voltage switchgear is built to meet a recognized safety and performance standard for metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear. For buyers, this supports code-aligned procurement, tested reliability, and greater confidence when the switchgear is used in power generation, distribution, backup power, or critical infrastructure systems.
Custom low-voltage switchgear can reduce installation time by aligning the switchgear layout, controls, breaker configuration, and site interconnects before equipment reaches the field. Enercon’s integrated control and switchgear approach is designed to simplify installation, reduce complex on-site connections, and help power generation systems get deployed more efficiently.
The cost of custom low-voltage switchgear depends on voltage, amperage, breaker selection, controls integration, enclosure requirements, UL 1558 requirements, project complexity, footprint constraints, testing needs, and timeline. A straightforward lineup may cost less than a fully integrated control and switchgear solution, but custom engineering can reduce downstream installation and coordination costs.
