UL 508A Panel: Certified Safety and Compliance in Industrial Control

A UL 508A panel is an industrial control panel that has been certified to meet the UL 508A standard—a widely recognized safety benchmark for control panels in the United States and Canada. This certification ensures that the panel is designed, constructed, and labeled in accordance with stringent safety and quality standards set by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Whether you're operating in manufacturing, water treatment, HVAC, or any automated system, a UL 508A panel provides peace of mind with verified reliability and code compliance.

For expert-built UL 508A certified panels, trust Xtreme Automation LLC, a leading provider of custom control panels engineered to the highest safety and performance standards.

What Is a UL 508A Panel?

UL 508A is the standard for the construction of industrial control panels that operate at 600 volts or less. A UL 508A panel must:

• Use UL-listed components
• Meet wire sizing, spacing, and protection guidelines
• Undergo labeling and documentation requirements
• Pass quality and safety inspections by a UL-certified shop
• Include a UL certification label indicating it meets UL requirements

These panels are often required by electrical inspectors, especially in commercial or industrial environments where code compliance is mandatory.
