01 / Executive decision
Hold the next build loop.
Confirmed inverter-door interference blocks release until CAD and evidence gaps are closed.
Build-release blocker
Correct the inverter-door collision in CAD before an internal build, fabrication quote, panel-build quote, or first article.
- Production feedback confirms the inverter hits the door envelope.
- Recheck clearance with terminal cover, wiring, cable bend radius, gasket, finish, and tolerance included.
- Draft internal-builder and supplier questions now; hold release until corrected STEP/PDF evidence exists.
1
Critical blocker
Gate E-01 fails by production evidence, not visual suspicion.
2
Evidence gap
Schematic, terminal schedule, wire list, ratings, enclosure target, and FAT plan are still missing.
3
Clear route
Fix CAD first, then close the questions that affect wiring, ratings, substitutions, and first-article/FAT.
02 / Inputs reviewed
Inputs and evidence quality.
Limited intake: STEP/PDF/BOM evidence plus one production note. Only build-blocking evidence gaps are called out.
| Input category | Status | Used for | Report effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| STEP assemblies | Received | Geometry, cabinet envelope, deep component placement, protruding features. | Enough to route the manufacturability review and identify clearance risks. |
| Mechanical and electrical installation PDFs | Received | Cabinet layout, BOM items, DIN rail components, glands, hinges, inverter location. | Supports physical-risk review, make/buy split, and build-loop scope. |
| Production note | Defect | Door does not close because the inverter hits the door. | Overrides weak visual evidence and drives the executive decision. |
| Electrical schematic, wire list, terminal plan | Evidence gap | Panel build quote, continuity testing, labeling, field troubleshooting. | Creates a pre-release evidence request before panel build. |
| NEMA/IP, SCCR, UL label expectation | Evidence gap | Enclosure rating, component substitution, UL508A path, build qualification. | Must be confirmed before internal builders or suppliers assume environment or compliance scope. |
03 / Build-readiness gates
Build-readiness gate status.
Build-readiness checks separate physical blockers from internal/supplier questions and evidence requests.
| Gate | Status | Evidence | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-01 closed-door clearance | Blocker | Production fact: the inverter interferes with the closed-door envelope. | Correct CAD before prototype/internal build or supplier review/RFQ release. |
| E-02 inverter cooling and service | High risk | Inverter sits near a guard/screen; manufacturer clearance evidence not supplied. | Verify clearance, airflow, and service access. |
| E-03 door open position and service access | High risk | Hinges visible; no hold-open feature found. | Add or verify positive hold-open. |
| E-04 wiring, wire ducts, and tool access | High risk | Dense PG21 glands and 25 x 25 mm duct; fill/tool access unproven. | Check duct fill, circuit separation, and tool access. |
| E-06 electronics board standoffs | Medium risk | Power board present; standoff size/retention not confirmed. | Prefer M4; require retention evidence if M3 remains. |
| E-07 electrical documentation and marking | Needs evidence | Schematic, terminal schedule, wire list, and marking method missing. | Define docs before panel build or supplier review/RFQ release. |
| E-08 electrical FAT/test plan | Needs evidence | Point-to-point, ground, insulation, and functional test plan missing. | Add FAT checklist to Build-06 and panel-build scope. |
| E-10 enclosure protection and cable entry integrity | Needs evidence | NEMA/IP target, gland rating path, gasket, and environment unknown. | Confirm rating before quoting cable-entry assumptions. |
04 / Top build-risk findings
Top build-risk findings.
Four issues drive the build-risk decision and next-loop scope.
BR-02 / High risk
No door hold-open feature found
Add a retainer so service work does not depend on holding the door by hand.
BR-03 / High risk
Inverter cooling needs evidence
Confirm manufacturer clearance, airflow path, and guard removability.
BR-08 / Medium risk
Board standoff retention
Prefer M4. If M3 is unavoidable, require pull-out and torque-out evidence.
05 / Manufacturing route
Manufacturing route.
Sequence after blocker correction.
01
Package intake
Confirm STEP, drawings, BOM, rating, SCCR, and site envelope.
02
CAD correction
Fix door collision, add retainer, verify wired clearance.
03
Build-loop scope
Define the enclosure, panel, wiring, finish, procurement, and FAT scopes for internal builders or suppliers.
04
Scope comparison
Compare assumptions, exclusions, inspection, test plan, ownership, and readiness to build.
05
First build
Build one corrected article before scaling parts, wiring, labels, or batch release.
06
FAT / handoff
Run door, clearance, ground, point-to-point, and function tests.
06 / Build-loop scope
Build scope after correction.
Separate workstreams reduce mixed assumptions for both internal build teams and outside suppliers.
| Work package | Owner / supplier type | Scope to define | Output needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build-00 CAD correction | Internal engineering or contract ME/EE | Resolve collision, update CAD/drawings/BOM, add door stay, check cooling clearances. | Redline list, revised STEP/PDF, owner, and release check. |
| Build-01 enclosure fabrication | Internal shop or sheet-metal fabricator | Cut, bend, weld or fasten cabinet parts, install inserts, hinges, door stay, guard, and finish prep. | Build method, inspection plan, deviations, and handoff evidence. |
| Build-02 panel build | Internal electrical team or UL508A-aware panel shop | Populate DIN rail, mount inverter, breakers, contactors/starters, relays, terminals, wire and label cabinet. | Wiring assumptions, test plan, label path, substitutions, and release blocker list. |
| Build-03 harness and wiring kit | Internal build team or harness/box-build supplier | Precut labeled wire set, harnesses, ferrules or lugs, optional subassemblies. | Wire list basis, test method, release assumptions, and open evidence. |
| Build-04 finish/coating | Internal finish route or finishing subcontractor | Powder coat, paint, anodize, passivation, masking, grounding-point protection, silk screen if needed. | Prep method, coating thickness, masking plan, grounding protection, and acceptance check. |
| Build-06 first article / FAT | Internal QA, selected supplier, or third-party inspector | Mechanical inspection, door close/open test, electrical test, photo report. | Pass/fail criteria, photo evidence, and unresolved issue list. |
07 / Next actions
The customer leaves with a fast correction worklist.
Recommended actions before the next spend-heavy build loop.
Before release
- Correct the inverter-door collision before internal build or RFQ.
- Release revised CAD with closed-door clearance evidence.
- Add a door stay or retainer to CAD, BOM, and assembly notes.
- Confirm schematic, terminal schedule, wire list, ratings, enclosure target, and UL label expectation.
Builder/supplier questions
- Can the first corrected article be built from the revised STEP/PDF package without guessing?
- Which work is in-house vs. supplier: fabrication, finish, panel build, or FAT?
- Who confirms door closure, hold-open angle, gland access, inverter service clearance, and any remaining M3 standoff retention?
08 / Request a Build-Readiness Sprint
Want this review for your CAD/BOM package?
Ask for a sample output or send a short non-confidential note. We will reply with the intake checklist.
A paid Build-Readiness Sprint is customized to your files, build context, tolerances, and release deadline.
- Best for sheet-metal, cabinet, enclosure, fixture, and metal-first electromechanical assemblies.
- Typical output: 24-48 hours after a usable CAD/BOM intake package.
- Supports build/RFQ/first-article/FAT planning by catching issues before spend turns into rework.
Do not send raw confidential CAD/BOM through this public form. Use a sanitized example or transfer files after NDA/SOW.
