Added: Tuesday, 2/28/2023


Electricity is used in virtually all areas of operation. It's hard to imagine everyday life without it, let alone the operations of companies and enterprises. For the devices powered by it to operate properly and safely, appropriate accessories are needed. Some of the most important are electrical switchboards , which, as their name suggests, divide electricity into specific circuits that power individual devices. Which one to choose, taking into account different purposes?

Checking the electrical switchboard

Ready-made electrical switchboards - what is worth knowing about them?

Ready-made electrical switchboards are made of very solid, durable and durable steel sheet, thanks to which they are protected against various negative factors, such as dust, moisture and mechanical damage. Even though they all serve the same purpose, i.e. to separate the 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 grid (main and subdistribution, maneuvering and contactor, power, lighting) or installation places ( 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, the possibility of relocation, operation and rated voltage. They can be used for various purposes, because thanks to their properties they are suitable for garden and construction work, as well as when connected to a photovoltaic installation.

Garden switchboards - what are their characteristics?

EMITER hermetic switchgear with AC surge arrester type 1+2, B16A 3F The garden is associated with many responsibilities, but also with pleasant relaxation, especially when, after finishing work, we can lie down on a deckchair and rest blissfully. However, regardless of whether we work or relax, we must have access to a garden switchboard. It should be selected to suit the conditions on the plot. Modular switchboards are ideal here, as they can be flush-mounted, wall-mounted or hermetic with an increased IP protection factor. Typically, this type of switchboards are installed in apartments, commercial premises and technical rooms, such as home workshops, garages or garden gazebos. Surface-mounted switchgear RH-1x6 modules IP65 ONNLINE 1000V DC PV Such devices must therefore provide maximum protection of electrical circuits against water, dirt, dust and various mechanical damage. If you are looking for a garden switchgear, please visit the Onninen wholesaler, where a wide range of this type of equipment is available. For typical garden applications, we recommend, for example, a surface-mounted switchgear with 6 modules and IP 65 protection .

What should construction switchboards be like?

Construction switchboards, also known as erbetka, are indispensable on construction sites because thanks to them, electricity is effectively and regularly supplied to various machines and equipment. Erbetka is a specially constructed box that must contain the most important elements, such as signaling equipment, measuring equipment, and safety equipment. control equipment and switching equipment. If any of these parts are missing, the switchgear will not function properly, so before choosing the right one, check it carefully. Different switchgear models should be chosen for smaller construction sites and others for larger ones, so it is worth seeking advice from professionals before choosing the right one. At the Onninen wholesaler, we will obtain professional help, thanks to which we will certainly find the right solution. See the full range of switchboards.

Photovoltaic switchgear - necessary for a photovoltaic installation

Photovoltaic switchgear with surge arrester Yet another group are photovoltaic switchboards, which constitute an extremely important part of the entire photovoltaic installation. Their main task is to protect photovoltaic panels and inverters against overvoltages in circuits, which applies to direct and alternating current. And such events can occur quite often, for example as a result of lightning 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 switchgear with a surge arrester (Ui 1500VDC RH-8 UV PVx1) equipped with high-quality equipment that protects 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 class II protection.
