Pump, Generator, Lighting & Industrial Control Panels
Custom Industrial Control Panels Engineered for Reliable, Application-Specific Operation
Spike Electric designs and manufactures custom industrial control panels for pump systems, generator systems, commercial or industrial lighting, and industrial equipment and machinery. Each panel is engineered around the operating sequence, system voltage, connected load, control voltage, required short-circuit current rating (SCCR), enclosure type, and installation environment. UL 508A-listed panels are available when required and within the applicable listing scope.
Panel designs may include circuit breakers, disconnects, motor starters, contactors, control relays, timers, sensors, operator controls, status indication, and automatic transfer functions when specified. Equipment is factory assembled, labeled, wired, inspected, and functionally tested before shipment.

Control Panels by Application
Select the application that best matches the project. Final component selection, control logic, ratings, enclosure construction, and interface requirements are established from the approved specifications and drawings.
Custom pump control panels provide automatic and manual control of pump motors used in water, wastewater, irrigation, drainage, process, and utility systems.
- Typical functions: Pump start/stop control, level or pressure control, alternation, lead-lag sequencing, alarm indication, overload protection, and local or remote operation.
- Configurations: Single-pump or simplex, duplex, and multi-pump control; single-phase or three-phase systems; across-the-line or other specified motor-control arrangements.
- Enclosures: NEMA enclosure type selected for indoor, outdoor, washdown, or corrosive service conditions, as required by the project.
Generator control panels coordinate starting, stopping, monitoring, alarming, and transfer-related functions for standby and prime-power generator applications.
- Typical functions: Automatic and manual start/stop, engine and generator status, alarm and shutdown indication, remote-start interfaces, battery and charger monitoring, and transfer-system coordination.
- System interfaces: Generator controllers, automatic transfer switches, switchgear, remote annunciators, supervisory controls, and other project-specific equipment.
- Application approach: Control logic and interfaces are developed around the generator manufacturer requirements, approved sequence of operation, and project one-line diagrams.
Lighting control panels provide centralized switching and control for indoor, outdoor, site, security, warehouse, and facility lighting systems.
- Typical functions: Contactor or relay control, time scheduling, photocell control, occupancy-based control, manual override, remote control, and circuit status indication.
- Applications: Commercial facilities, industrial plants, infrastructure, outdoor areas, warehouses, and other projects requiring coordinated lighting control.
- Design basis: Panel construction is coordinated with lighting loads, branch-circuit requirements, control voltage, operating schedule, and environmental conditions.
Custom industrial control panels control mechanical equipment and machinery in industrial and manufacturing facilities. They automate heaters, motors, pump loads, and equipment that combines these devices.
- Typical applications: Elevators, cranes, refrigeration units, large-scale manufacturing equipment, and industrial machinery, from small-scale equipment to special-purpose equipment.
- Construction: An open panel or an enclosure with at least two power-circuit and control-circuit components, such as motor controllers, relays, switches, and auxiliary equipment. Panels are supplied pre-assembled and ready to install.
Open vs. enclosed: Open panels include field wiring, internal terminals, and components mounted on a sub-panel, and must be enclosed before use. Enclosed panels mount their components inside a protective enclosure for indoor service, or for hazardous environments when required by the project. - Design basis: Panels are selected around each facility's operating needs. Heat generated by the panel is accounted for, with cooling or air conditioning included when required.
Engineering, Design & Build Capabilities
Spike Electric develops application-specific control panels from approved project requirements. Engineering deliverables may include panel layouts, control schematics, bills of material, terminal plans, and point-to-point wiring documentation. New panels and retrofit assemblies can be configured around specified or customer-furnished components when appropriate.
Panels are assembled for practical installation, operation, troubleshooting, and future maintenance. Final construction is based on approved drawings, component availability, applicable listing requirements, and the project-defined sequence of operation.
- Application Engineering
Review of control sequences, loads, operating conditions, and interface requirements. - Component Integration
Coordination of protective, switching, control, sensing, and operator-interface components. - Factory Assembly
Panel mounting, wiring, labeling, inspection, and functional testing before shipment. - Electrical Documentation
Panel layouts, schematics, bills of material, terminal plans, and wiring information. - Enclosure Selection
NEMA enclosure type and construction selected for the installation environment. - Retrofit Support
A new back panel with your components pre-wired, so the existing panel and pulled wire can stay in place. Includes a 3D CAD layout, a bill of materials for the upgraded components, and wiring schematics. We also work with your contractor on technical questions during the changeover. - Customer-Furnished Designs: Panels can be built from your own wiring diagram or specifications, and every design comes with an accurate wiring diagram for installation.
- New & Reconditioned Panels: Custom-built panels, panels supplied from leading manufacturers, and inspected reconditioned panels as a lower-cost option. Spike also buys back unwanted control panels after inspecting them.
