Define the application before comparing prices

An MCC, a main distribution switchboard and an automation panel serve different purposes. Identify the equipment, its interfaces and the parties responsible for each part of the supply.

Provide a single-line diagram, load list, voltages, currents, environmental conditions, available space and expansion requirements. If information is missing, agree who will survey it and when the design will be approved.

Compare equivalent technical offers

Ask for a requirement matrix covering rated current, short-circuit conditions, enclosure protection, maintenance access, materials, circuit identification and control-system communication.

The Authomathika catalogue distinguishes conventional panels, distribution and control solutions, and medium-voltage switchgear. Evidence and tests must relate to the actual configuration offered. Features from one product line should not be assumed for another.

Agree acceptance and delivery responsibilities

Define drawings, bills of materials, inspections, applicable test records and final documentation before ordering. Include a witnessed factory acceptance test when the project requires it.

Clarify transport, installation, wiring, configuration, commissioning and support. Factory acceptance does not replace integration and verification at the installation site.

Requesting an engineering proposal

Authomathika combines electrical engineering, panel manufacturing and automation integration. Share the panel type, industry, location, available drawings and installation window when requesting an assessment.

The catalogue is a starting point. The final configuration depends on the plant survey and the conditions of the particular project.
