You decide which brands go inside the cabinet
Components are the cabinet's internal organs — the brands need to be spelled out
Two identical-looking cabinets can differ by a full tier in cost and reliability depending on the component brands inside. Our approach is to hand the brand decision to you while providing engineering input.
| Brand | Positioning | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| Schneider | Mainstream low-voltage electrical brand | Breakers, contactors, relays and more; common on export and high-end domestic projects |
| ABB | Mainstream low-voltage and drive brand | VFDs, molded case circuit breakers and more; common in VFD panels |
| Siemens | Mainstream industrial automation brand | PLC, drives, low-voltage electrical; common in automation cabinets |
| Chint | Cost-effective domestic brand | Breakers, contactors and more; common on budget-sensitive projects |
| Customer-specified | Purchased as required | Any specified brand purchased to your requirement, listed in the BOM |
The brands above are examples of common choices, not an exclusive list; final brand and model are subject to engineering confirmation and the BOM.
Three principles
- Genuine channels — Purchased through brand-authorized channels or reputable distributors, fully traceable;
- Itemized disclosure — Every component in the BOM is listed with brand, model and quantity — no vague "domestic equivalent" substitutions;
- Brand preference honored — Specify the brands you want and we buy to your list. If lead time or compatibility is an issue, we flag it up front; equivalent substitutions are made only after your confirmation.
FAQ: Component brand questions
Component brand questions
What brands are used inside the cabinet?
Commonly Schneider, ABB, Siemens, Chint and similar brands, and we can also purchase brands specified by the customer. The final selection is governed by engineering confirmation and the technical agreement, with brand and model itemized in the BOM.
Can I specify component brands?
Yes. Specified brands are purchased to your requirement. If a brand has a lead time or compatibility issue, our engineers will explain it in advance and propose an equivalent alternative, which is implemented only after your confirmation.
Are the components genuine? How is that guaranteed?
Components are purchased through brand-authorized channels or established distributors, and procurement channel and batch information can be provided. On arrival they are checked against the BOM item by item for brand, model and anti-counterfeit markings, and samples of critical parts are retained for traceability.
Send us your BOM and we'll advise on component selection
With your budget range or specified brands, our engineers will recommend component selection and cost trade-offs for your project.
