In an environment where precision, reliability, and compliance are critical, ACDC Dynamics leads with engineering excellence. Its dedicated panel workshop has become a trusted partner in delivering turnkey, custom-built panel solutions for industrial, commercial, and utility clients across South Africa and internationally.
Over the past year, the panel workshop has completed several high-profile builds that showcase ACDC Dynamics’s technical capability and manufacturing scale. The following projects illustrate the depth of its capability and expertise…
One standout project was a 400 VAC, 4,000 A main distribution board for a biogas facility in Limpopo. Built to IEC 61439 standards, the board meets strict requirements for temperature rise, dielectric strength, and a short-circuit fault rating of 65 kA. It features modular construction, a heavy-duty busbar support system, arc flash mitigation, and Form-3b separation with integrated metering for real-time power quality monitoring.
Another flagship build was a 2,500 A, 50 kA low-voltage switchboard for an industrial refrigeration plant. This panel featured advanced protection relays, power factor correction (PFC) equipment, and an automatic transfer switch (ATS) to ensure uninterrupted power supply during grid fluctuations. Thermal management, control gear, and component layout were carefully engineered using ACDC Dynamics’s own CAD modelling capabilities. This allowed for precise planning and efficient heat dissipation. The panel then underwent rigorous in-house testing to ensure full compliance with both SANS standards and client specifications.
ACDC Dynamics also recently completed a 1,600 A motor control centre (MCC) for a mining client. Featuring variable speed drives (VSD), direct online (DOL) starters, soft-starters (S-S), and programmable logic controller (PLC) integration, the MCC uses fully withdrawable modules for operational flexibility and maintenance safety. It was thoroughly tested to guarantee performance under harsh environmental conditions.
Each project reflects the workshop’s ability to exceed client expectations. Every panel is manufactured and tested under strict quality control to meet both design requirements and compliance standards. ACDC Dynamics’s qualified team of wiremen, technicians, and engineers work collaboratively to deliver robust, tailored solutions.
In parallel, its transformer workshop continues to deliver exceptional results.
ACDC Dynamics offers a wide range of standard and custom-built transformers. Starting from PCB transformers (1.5 VA to 40 VA) through to bespoke printed PCB designs, its team is equipped to meet even the most specific requirements.
If you need to step down voltage for a compact project or a larger installation, it offers a versatile range of transformers and power supplies to suit your needs. ACDC Dynamics’s power supply units range from 10 VA to 25 VA for low-voltage equipment, while its direct current transformers span from 50 VA to 1,500 VA, delivering up to 525 VAC and 110 VDC.
It also supplies air-cooled, dry-type power transformers up to 1,000 VAC, and stocks single-phase transformers from 10 VA to 50,000 VA. Custom tapping is available, and ACDC Dynamics’s technical team is ready to assist with expert advice and specialised voltage solutions.
For larger applications, it offers three-phase transformers that range from 100 VA to 100 KVA, with various connection types and voltage options. If a standard option won’t do, ACDC Dynamics can build to your exact needs using quality materials and trusted engineering practices.
“No matter the application, our solutions are built for performance, compliance, and long-term reliability,” the company said.
“Together, our panel and transformer workshops form an integrated solutions hub,” the company said. “We are capable of delivering end-to-end electrical solutions with technical assurance and reduced lead times.”
