UniWave Electric
As the "Great Connection" of the world, Panama's industrial and logistics sector demands an unprecedented level of electrical reliability. From the high-torque requirements of the Panama Canal's lock systems to the sophisticated temperature-controlled warehouses in the Colon Free Zone, the Overload Relay serves as the primary line of defense against motor burnout and costly downtime.
In Panama, environmental factors such as high relative humidity (often exceeding 80%) and saline air in coastal provinces like Colón and Panamá Oeste accelerate the wear of electrical components. Our specialized range of Thermal and Electronic Overload Relays is engineered to withstand these tropical challenges, ensuring that your critical machinery in mining sites like Donoso or manufacturing plants in Chiriquí operates without interruption.
Global procurement managers sourcing for Panamanian projects must navigate a unique hybrid of IEEE (American) and IEC (European) standards. Our factory solutions bridge this gap, offering CE and ISO9001 certified relays that are fully compatible with both legacy American equipment and modern European automation lines prevalent in the region.
The evolution of motor protection in Panama is shifting toward Digital and Smart Overload Relays. While traditional bimetallic thermal relays remain a cost-effective staple for small-scale applications, the large-scale infrastructure projects in Panama City are increasingly adopting Electronic Overload Relays (EOCR). These offer:
Wenzhou UniWave Electric Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer specializing in a wide range of electrical products, including Circuit Breakers (RCBO / RCCB / MCB / WiFi Smart MCB / MCCB / ACB), Isolator Switches, Change Over Switches, AC Contactors, Thermal Relays, Magnetic Starters, Solid State Relays, Distribution Boxes, Voltage Stabilizers, and Voltage Protectors.
With over 25 years of experience, our company is located in Liushi, Yueqing, Wenzhou, China, famously known as the “City of Low Voltage Electrical Appliances.” Our products strictly comply with IEC standards and have obtained internationally recognized certifications, including SAA, CE, CB (IEC), and ISO9001.









Sourcing from our China-based factory offers Panamanian enterprises a competitive edge in "Information Gain" and cost-efficiency. Our logistics network is optimized for the Port of Balboa and Port of Cristobal, ensuring lead times are minimized for urgent replacements or new project phases.
Compliance & Reliability: We understand the importance of Reglamento de Instalaciones Eléctricas de Panamá (RIEP). Our relays are designed to exceed these local safety standards, providing robust protection against overcurrent and thermal damage that can occur during Panama's frequent electrical storms and subsequent power surges.
EOCRs provide superior protection against phase failure and voltage unbalance, which are common in tropical grids. Unlike thermal relays, they are less affected by high ambient temperatures, providing more accurate protection in Panama City's heat.
Yes, all our overload relays comply with IEC 60947-4-1 standards and are CE certified, making them suitable for the rigorous safety requirements of the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) and other major infrastructure projects.
Through our optimized export channel from Wenzhou, sea freight typically takes 25-35 days to reach Panama's main ports, while urgent air freight can arrive in 5-7 working days.
Absolutely. We specialize in heavy-duty MCCB and Overload Relay coordination for mining applications, ensuring high-vibration resistance and protection against heavy-start loads.
