Abstract

Currently, the construction of many industrial buildings, government and non-government

guidance are needed so that electrical panel products can compete and be accepted in the
market. Currently the number of students is 169, with 7 teaching staff, but the lack of
teaching staff with experience in making electrical panels is a major problem. The purpose
of this activity is to assist partners to improve the quality of electrical panel products
according to standards. While the method of this activity there are several stages, namely
an explanation of the general description related to electrical panels and evaluation of the
resulting product panels. The second stage is assisting in determining material
requirements, preparing work equipment, the process of reading the circuit block diagram
of the electrical panel. The third stage is direct assistance to the electrical panel assembly
process. The activity has been carried out at SMK Muhammadiyah Klaten Utara for 2
