Metal Switchboards

emf Switchboards has compiled three metal switchboard systems that should cover the basics, while considering the nuances of what a 'standard switchboard' should be. 

The S Series, which is our standardised switchboards, comprises of just a PAN assembly and an option for a 63A or 100A main switch. Tails from the main switch to the PAN. E/N bar to suit. 

The LC Series switchboard distribution options include: PAN Assembly (includes wiring tails), Multiclip or, Comb bar distribution. Or, you can opt for a switchboard with just the main switch and rails for you to populate. All options come with a 100A main switch and E/N bar to suit. Wiring is not included with multiclip or comb bar unless requested. 

The W Series is our metal option for domestic applications. You can choose if you want any distribution (Multiclip or comb bar) to go with the rails and 100A main switch. Again, wiring is an optional extra. E/N bar to suit. 

In the past, we have created switchboard designs that fit a client's standard application. If you need to add extra MCBs or re-design a switchboard we have shown to suit your needs, please contact us to request a quote.

FAQ

What is Multiclip Distribution?

Schneider Multiclip distribution allows the mixing of 1, 2, & 3 pole MCBs and RCBOs to be mounted on the same rail which also saves on space. These come in 3 or 4 Pole, full or 1/2 row (better suited for smaller applications where its a bit tight) and rated from 63A to 200A. 

What is Comb Bar Distribution?

Comb busbar can be used when there is smaller Amp rating. 100A, 1-3 pole and 12 or 24 way. This also can be a handy solution for smaller enclosures. Please note: you cannot mix & match MCBs & RCBOs on the same rail when you use comb bar. RCBOs don’t fit on the standard comb bar.

What PAN Assemblies does emf use?

PAN assemblies are the standard distribution system we use for MCBs and can be set up for various brands. Our PAN assemblies have steel bolts between the poles to prevent faults if there is a short circuit. RCBOs don’t fit on our PAN assemblies nor can you mix and match MCBs and RCBOs on the same PAN assembly.

I need switchboard components

If you want MCBs and RCBOs in your switchboard, we can wire your board so it is right ready to go, or supply them loose for you to wire in. Send us a list of what you need, and we will take it from there.

Stock & Availability

For complete IP rated enclosures, we aim to keep at least 10 of each size in stock (dependant on shipping and previous orders).  

Lead time from the date of order depends on the complexity of the switchboard, what size it is and how readily available the parts are.
