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.


Benefits of Using UL 508A Panels
