1. Distribution Boards
The scenario of electrical sub and final distribution boards have changed in the
last few years. There seems to be more demand for more outgoing ways, more
protection, more metering and more control.
Distribution of electricity is at the heart of building services. New generation
distribution boards meet the demands of modern buildings, more metering
and energy efficient solutions through control devices.
A distribution board is one of the components of an electricity supply system
which bifurcates an electrical feed into subsidiary circuits while protective fuse
or circuit breaker for each circuit in an enclosure. Usually, a main switch and in
recent designs, one or more RCD (residual current devices) will be
incorporated. While fitting distribution boards, for reasons of aesthetics and
security, these panels are fitted into closets, cupboards, attics, garages and
basements that are out of sight. Large building may install it in panels and
number them for accessibility. They may have multiple circuit breakers due to
higher.
Some low voltage circuit breaker distribution boards are suitable for
applications up to 250A in single phase and three phase configurations
including metering to meet the latest building regulations.
There are some very modern distribution boards that are easy to install and
the option of adding additional enclosures. These enclosures are for metering,
remote switching and other control products which allow them to be
configured a different ways. In most of these the central busbar will be fully
insulated with non removable barriers. Some of them have plug on features
that allow quick fitting of outgoing MCB’s and RCBO’s. Control panels may be
fitted alongside these and the wires passed through a central channel. These
are high performance distribution boards that are suitable of demanding
installations. Their versatility of adding incoming devices makes them a
preferred choice. Safety features like the insulating barriers are an added
advantages. Plug on features aid easy installation. There are a range of boards
available for multiple uses and situations, the choice is aplenty.
A variety of distribution boards are available for Domestic, Industrial and
Commercial use. Choosing a reputed manufacturer is the key. Choose one who
has a reputation for maintaining good standards.
