What Routine Testing Should a Switchgear Panel Go Through?

IEC 61439-1 requires every assembly to pass routine verification before dispatch. The core checks are:

  • Dielectric test — confirms insulation withstands the specified test voltage.
  • Insulation resistance — measured across live parts and earth.
  • Wiring and operation — inspection against the drawings and functional checks of protection and controls.
  • Clearances and creepage, protective circuit continuity, IP and torque checks.

Ask for the test record with every panel you buy. Read about our quality process.
