Electricity is used in almost all areas of functioning. It is hard to imagine everyday life without it, not to mention the activities of companies and enterprises. In order for the devices powered by it to function properly and safely, appropriate accessories are needed. Some of the most important include electrical switchboards , which, as their name suggests, distribute electricity to specific circuits that power individual devices. Which one to choose, taking into account different purposes?
Ready-made electrical switchboards - what is worth knowing about them?
Ready-made electrical switchboards are made of very solid, durable and resistant sheet steel, thanks to which they are protected against various negative factors, such as dust, moisture or mechanical damage. Although they all serve the same purpose, i.e. to distribute current that goes to different circuits, they are divided into several categories depending on the design (board, box and cabinet switchboards are available), the function they have in the power network (main and sub-distribution, shunt-contactor, power, lighting) or the place of installation ( Surface-mounted switchboards and Flush-mounted switchboards ).
However, these are not all the aspects that determine what kind of equipment we are dealing with. It is worth remembering that ready-made electrical switchboards also differ in terms of the method of installation, possibility of moving, operation or rated voltage. They can be used for various purposes, because thanks to their properties they are suitable for gardening, construction work, as well as connected to a photovoltaic installation.

Garden switchboards - what are their characteristics?
A garden is associated with many duties, but also with pleasant relaxation, especially when after finishing work we can stretch out on a deckchair, resting blissfully. Regardless of whether we are working or relaxing, we must have access to a garden switchboard. It should be selected for the conditions on the plot. Modular switchboards are ideal here, which can be flush-mounted, wall-mounted or hermetic with an increased IP protection factor. Usually, this type of switchboard is installed in apartments, service premises and technical rooms, such as a home workshop, garage or garden gazebo. 
Such devices must therefore provide maximum protection of electrical circuits against water, dust, dirt and various mechanical damages. When looking for a garden switchboard, we invite you to the Onninen wholesaler, where a wide range of such equipment is available. For typical garden applications, we recommend, for example, a surface-mounted switchboard with 6 modules and IP 65 protection .
What should construction switchboards be like?
A construction switchboard, also known as an erbetka, is indispensable on construction sites, because thanks to them, electricity is effectively and regularly supplied to various machines and equipment. An erbetka is a specially designed box that must contain the most important elements, such as signaling equipment, measuring equipment, safety equipment, control equipment and distribution equipment. If any of the above parts are missing, the switchboard will not function properly, so before choosing the right one, let's check it carefully. Other models of switchboards should be chosen for smaller construction sites, and others for larger ones, so before choosing the right one it is worth consulting professionals. At the Onninen wholesaler we will get professional help, thanks to which we will definitely match the right solution. Get to know the full offer of switchboards.

Photovoltaic distribution board - necessary for a photovoltaic installation
Another group consists of photovoltaic switchboards, which are an extremely important part of the entire photovoltaic installation. Their main task is to protect photovoltaic panels and inverters against overvoltages in circuits, which concerns direct and alternating current. And such events can occur quite often, for example as a result of atmospheric discharges. Devices of this type can be installed both inside and outside the building. It is definitely worth investing in professional equipment. One of them is a photovoltaic switchboard with a surge arrester (Ui 1500VDC RH-8 UV PVx1) equipped with high-quality equipment protecting photovoltaic panels and inverters. It is made of UV-resistant material, has a high degree of protection IP65, a degree of mechanical strength IK07 and protection class II.
