A control panel is essential in systems like grain handling, fuel handling, ash handling, fuel feeding, and dust extraction. It helps control and monitor material movement, allowing for system start/stop, and conveyor speed adjustment. It also monitors flow, temperature, and humidity.

An Electric Control Panel (ECP) consists of electrical devices that control and monitor industrial equipment functions, with components including an enclosure structure and a back panel. Electrical personnel can access the panel for maintenance, testing, and control.

A Motor Control Center (MCC) remotely controls multiple electric motors from a central location, consisting of motor starters, branch feeders, and power busbars, all mounted in an isolated compartment with its own cover.
