Custom UL508A Control Panels for Water and Wastewater

Energenecs designs and builds a variety of control panels; including duplex lift station pump control panels, motor control centers (MCCs), and variable frequency drive (VFD) control panels. We have extensive experience providing panels with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) using radios, Ethernet, fiber and cellular, which are commonly used in the water and wastewater industry.

Many of the leading consulting engineers in Wisconsin are familiar with our premier panels, related control system expertise and technical services that we bring to their projects.

Operator Friendly Water & Wastewater Control Panels

Energenecs provides operator friendly UL508A control panels by using quality industrial-grade components to ensure reliability. All custom control panels and motor control centers are assembled and tested in our UL panel shop. We encourage all of our clients to schedule a visit and learn first-hand what goes into a water and wastewater control system. Once we gain engineer and owner acceptance of our control system design, we assemble and test the complete panel or system in our shop located in Saukville, Wisconsin

High Quality Components

All of the hardware Energenecs assembles & wires into our panels are superior quality components, such as Allen Bradley programmable controllers, Cutler-Hammer breakers and NEMA rated motor starters, Hoffman & Saginaw enclosures, both stainless steel and painted steel, whatever the project requires. Only quality relays, timers, power supplies, UPS systems, wire terminals are used. We design our UL508A custom control panels large enough so the wiring and components are easily accessible which allows for easier maintenance during the life of the panel.

Professionally Assembled UL508A Control Panels in Wisconsin

All of our Energenecs control panels are assembled in Wisconsin. We take UL very seriously, and it requires skilled shop personnel and electrical engineering knowledge to build everything in compliance with our professional UL certification. In addition, all of the internal panel wires are color coded in accordance to industry standards. Every one of our control panels includes complete custom wiring diagrams. As a control system integrator, our panels are “telemetry and SCADA ready”. Whether it’s a simple alarm dialer, or more complex radio, cellular, internet or fiber, Energenecs has done them all.

Local Parts, Local Service.

We do not use any proprietary components in our UL508A custom water and wastewater control panels. We use common industrial grade components throughout our panels. We take pride in our customers giving us repeat business due to the quality of our systems and services as opposed to being hostage to us due to the use of proprietary components.

In today’s world of “get it done and forget it” mentality, Energenecs is simply unique, among few. Over the past years, I have always enjoyed working with them because I know that they will complete the work on time, within budget and provide for a satisfied client.” – Richard Boya, Electrical & Systems Integration, LLC.

Examples of Energenecs’ Custom UL508A Water and Wastewater Control Panels:

duplex control panels

Custom Duplex Lift Station Pump Control Panel

Pictured is a very common duplex pump control panel for a lift station. The radio/antenna connected to the panel pump controller also talks to a SCADA system. Our stainless steel enclosures are provided with a stainless steel skirt which provides the NEC code electrical clearance coming out of a hazardous rated wet well, and also serves to aesthetically clean up the wire entries into the panel. Typically the left side of a duplex panel contains 120 volt circuitry, while on the right-hand side would have 230/480V motor control. We purposely separate 120v from the higher voltage for safety reasons. Primary automatic control of the two submersible pumps in the wet well uses an Endress Hauser submersible level transmitter, which is reliable and field-proven in hundreds of installations. Our backup floats give an operator peace of mind in case the level circuit, pump controller or a power supply were to fail. When the high float monitor activates, the backup pump control takes over and sends an alarm message to the operator.

Custom Control Panel for 5 Pumps

Excess flow and flood pump control panel for Wheaton Illinois being assembled in our shop. Two 60HP pumps and three 15HP pumps all controlled by this single UL panel measuring 60” x 72” x 18”. Panel required special wire to provide a bend radius of such large wiring as noted in upper right. The 400A cam locks are used for standby generator.

mcc

Rockwell & Eaton Motor Control Center (MCC)

Energenecs takes responsibility for and commonly supplies Rockwell or Eaton MCC’s and variable frequency drives on numerous projects, along with our programmable logic controls. Knowledgeable electrical consulting engineers understand the serious design of the drive and MCC buckets and use our technical field expertise and CAD work to assist the design of these control circuits on their projects.

redundant control panels

Redundant Custom PLC Panel

Pictured is one of many very sophisticated redundant Allen Bradley controllers installed in the Eau Claire, Wisconsin wastewater treatment facility. The PLC rack of modules on top left is a master and the rack to the right of it is a slave. The CPU modules in this class of controllers are synchronized such that if the primary fails, the other controller takes over. On a typical non-redundant panel, if the CPU fails, gets hit by a surge or has an anomaly and halts, everything monitored and controlled by the rack of modules is dead. It’s a serious event.

control panel lift station

Lift Station Pump Control Panel

This lift station pump control panel features Allen Bradley pump controller, level transducer with backup floats, single door stainless steel enclosure, red alarm light on top, enclosure skirt on the bottom, and an easy to connect generator receptacle.
