I was curious; of the members who build panels, how often do you have to have a panel UL certified.
As some of you know I design and build panels for use in-house where I work. Mostly conveyor systems, but some other small panels. I just did two 6 motor panels and I'm in the middle of a 30 motor panel. The city of Fort Worth won't pass my electrical inspection unless the MCPs are UL tested. Luckily, we build the panels to 508A, so it's not a problem to get stickered. My local UL inspector is very thorough and helpful as well, and except for the $1400 dollars per panel, my relationship with UL has been great. But I was curious if others have this situation as well.
