BOTH DOMESTIC AND INDUSTRIAL
DISTRIBUTION BOARDS
We provide high quality distribution boards for both domestic and industrial settings.
THE FUNCTION OF A DISTRIBUTION BOARD
A distribution board is sometimes referred to as a consumer unit, especially in domestic settings. It can also be described as a fuse box. Its function is to split the main power source into the various secondary or subsidiary circuits that require electrical power, whether in a domestic, commercial or industrial setting. The distribution board will also include fuses and breakers that protect the circuits. The distribution board or panel is usually enclosed, particularly in a workplace, for extra safety.
INDUSTRIAL DISTRIBUTION BOARDS
Distribution boards for industrial settings are able to accommodate many machines at once and a high voltage and amperage. When you are choosing one, you need to think about 4 key points:
-
How many circuits does it need to accommodate
-
Does it need a main switch
-
Where will it be installed
-
What is the load and current needed for each circuit
-
Circuit protection – it should have fuses to protect each circuit
-
Capacity – consider how much power the board will handle
-
Ease of installation – make sure the instructions are clear and you have all the tools you need
-
Flexibility – can you add extra appliances?
-
Future capacity – you need a board that will be able to accommodate your future plans
