Solving Electrical Panel Challenges with HYDAC's Custom-Built Solutions

When it comes to complex industrial environments like mining sites or data centres, the challenges tied to electrical panel performance are often underestimated. From managing high motor loads and harsh conditions to ensuring simple operation and long-term reliability, the pressure is on for businesses to implement robust control systems that won’t let them down.

One of the most common problems is poor integration. Off-the-shelf control panels often fall short when adapting to the specific needs of an application. Whether it’s mismatched components, lack of flexibility, or limited control capability, these issues can slow operations and lead to costly downtime.

Another issue is complexity. Overly complicated systems make it harder for operators to maintain or troubleshoot on site. In high-pressure industries like mining, where response time matters, having user-friendly electrical systems isn’t just a bonus — it’s essential.

Then there’s the risk of non-compliance. Without adherence to relevant standards and proper engineering, control panels can pose safety risks and fall short of performance expectations, especially in mission-critical applications such as data centres or heavy industrial sites.

That’s where HYDAC comes in.

HYDAC understands that every operation is different. That’s why HYDAC designs and builds electrical panels tailored to each customer’s needs — whether it’s for a remote mine site or a sophisticated data centre.

The local Automation and Control Engineering team specialises in building high-quality electrical panels that simplify control, boost efficiency, and provide peace of mind. These panels are more than just enclosures for wiring and switches — they’re the heart of our complete system solutions, carefully engineered to integrate with hydraulic and cooling systems and stand up to tough environments.

From simple starters to advanced PLC-controlled systems, HYDAC offers a wide range of electrical panels:

• Assembled Motor Starter Panels: Designed for direct-on-line starting of motors, these panels are compact, reliable, and pre-wired for quick installation. Perfect for pump and cooler systems that need straightforward motor control.
   
• Soft Starters (ESPS): Ideal for large motors that require smooth acceleration and reduced mechanical stress. HYDAC soft starters minimise inrush current and extend equipment life, making them a smart choice for heavy-duty applications.
   
• Basic Pump Starters (ESPB): With options for two solenoids, this starter provides easy, dependable control over smaller systems. It’s well-suited for entry-level applications or where only basic functionality is needed.
   
• Pump and Cooler Controllers (ESPE & ESPP): These offer greater control, with capacity for up to 10 solenoids and optional PLC integration. They’re tailored for more complex operations where performance and adaptability are key.
   

What sets HYDAC apart is the commitment to providing turn-key solutions. HYDAC’s panels come pre-tested, quality-assured, and ready for integration. HYDAC follows a proven in-house process — from concept design and component selection to panel build, factory testing, and final documentation — ensuring every detail meets both customer expectations and Australian standards like AS/NZS 61439.

In short, HYDAC makes it easy for the customers. With intuitive layouts, clear labelling, and future-ready design, the panels are built for those who want long-term reliability without the technical headaches.

Whether you’re dealing with variable site conditions, specific project requirements, or tight installation timelines, HYDAC’s electrical panels are designed to deliver performance, flexibility, and peace of mind — every time.

So if you’re after an electrical control solution that’s tailor-made, easy to operate, and built to last, HYDAC has the capability to bring it all together.
