Auto CAD Electrical low Voltage Panel Design
At BURAAQ UK, we deliver precision-driven Low Voltage (LV) Panel Design solutions using the advanced capabilities of AutoCAD Electrical. Our focus is on engineering intelligent, efficient, and fully compliant low voltage systems that support the operational needs of commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects.Low voltage panels—typically operating at up to 1,000V—are essential for the safe and efficient distribution and control of electrical power within buildings, production facilities, and automated systems. Using AutoCAD Electrical, our design team creates smart schematics, detailed panel layouts, and intelligent wiring diagrams, accelerating design workflows and reducing errors through automation and real-time validation tools.
