Functions

Electrical distribution – designed for distributing electrical power to different circuits: lighting, sockets, equipment, automation, heating, ventilation or other consumers.

Installation of modular equipment – equipment can be installed inside on a DIN rail: circuit breakers, residual current devices, RCBOs, contactors, time relays, surge arresters, electricity meters and other modules.

Protection against environmental effects – the IP54 protection class helps protect the equipment installed inside against dust and water splashes, making the board suitable for more demanding operating conditions than simple indoor distribution boards.

Safe locking – the door with a lock allows access to electrical equipment to be restricted. This is relevant in shared premises, warehouses, technical zones, workshops or commercial facilities.

Convenient cable entry – 5 cable openings with a diameter of 20 mm allow easier entry of supply and distribution cables into the board.

Strong metal enclosure – the 0.8 mm thick steel enclosure provides mechanical strength and durability to the structure.

Use

For household users: suitable for a private house, garage, workshop or utility building when electrical protection and distribution equipment needs to be installed neatly in one place.

For electricians: convenient for installing circuit breakers, RCDs, RCBOs, contactors, surge arresters, meters and other DIN rail modular equipment.

For engineers / designers: suitable for designing small or medium-sized distribution units where a 36-module metal board with IP54 protection is required.

For business and commercial premises: can be used in warehouses, service areas, shops, technical rooms or small production zones where a lockable electrical distribution board is required.

Advantages

36-module capacity – sufficient for a medium-sized electrical distribution system
3 rows for DIN equipment – convenient layout of protection and control components
Metal enclosure – stronger than standard plastic distribution boards
IP54 protection – better protection against dust and water splashes
Surface-mounted installation – no wall recess is required; it can be mounted directly on the surface
With lock – protects against access by unauthorized persons

Disadvantages

Metal construction is heavier than plastic distribution boards – weight approx. 6.80 kg
IP54 is not a fully sealed protection against strong water jets – for outdoor installation, the mounting location and additional protection should be assessed

FAQ

What is this modular distribution board intended for?
This board is designed for electrical input, distribution and installation of modular DIN rail equipment. Circuit breakers, residual current devices, RCBOs, contactors, surge arresters, electricity meters, relays and other modules can be installed inside.

Is this board suitable for outdoor use?
The board has an IP54 protection class, so it is protected against dust and water splashes. However, when installing outdoors, direct rain, sunlight, snow and condensation should be considered. For outdoor conditions, it is best to install it under a canopy or in an additionally protected location.

How much modular equipment can be installed in this board?
The board has a capacity of 36 modules and 3 rows, so up to 36 standard module-width devices can be installed. The actual capacity depends on the width of the components used, as some devices may occupy 2, 3, 4 or more modules.

Does the board have DIN rails?
Yes, the board has DIN rails and is therefore suitable for installing standard modular electrical equipment.
