Side and rear plates

Side and back panels for switchboards - key safety features

Side and rear panels for switchboards are the foundation of safety for electrical installations.   In everyday practice, we see how important a role these components play. They provide not only protection against contact, but also stability of the entire structure. Our experience shows that the correct selection of these components is crucial for long-term and failure-free operation of switchboards.

Onninen offers a wide range of side and back plates. Products from renowned brands such as Eaton and Legrand are available. Each of them offers solutions tailored to various needs. We are often asked about the differences between these brands. In our experience, the choice depends on the specific requirements of the project.

Types of side and rear panels for switchboards - offer overview

Our range includes various construction elements of switchboards. They include:

• Blocks and side panels
• Top covers
• Mounting walls
• Back walls
• Partitions
• Main frames

Each of these elements performs a specific function in the structure of the switchboard.   The blocks and side panels provide protection against contact from the side. The top covers protect the interior from contamination. The mounting walls are used to mount electrical components. The rear walls close the structure from the rear. The partitions divide the interior into sections. The main frame is the backbone of the entire switchboard.

Many customers ask us about the criteria for selecting side and rear panels. The key aspects are the dimensions of the switchboard, the IP protection level and the expected loads. In our daily practice, we provide advice taking into account the specifics of each project. Recently, in the implementation of a large shopping center, we used panels with increased impact resistance.

Innovations in the field of side and rear panels for switchboards

The market for side and rear panels for switchboards is growing dynamically.   We observe a trend towards lighter but equally durable materials. Manufacturers are introducing solutions that facilitate assembly and servicing. In the case of office space reorganization, we most often recommend modular board systems. They enable easy adaptation of switchboards to changing needs.

Our experience shows that customers increasingly ask for ecological solutions. In response to this demand, we offer boards made of recyclable materials. Onninen especially recommends products from the ECO line, which combine care for the environment with high quality of workmanship.

In practice, we encounter various challenges regarding side and rear panels. One of them is the need to provide adequate ventilation while maintaining a high level of protection. The solution is special panels with a passive ventilation system. They provide air circulation without compromising safety.

The correct selection of side and rear panels is crucial to the functionality of the switchboard.   In the case of installations exposed to vibrations, we recommend plates with a reinforced structure. For environments with high humidity, plates with anti-corrosion coatings work well. Our experience shows that investing in high-quality plates translates into long-term reliability of the installation.

We often come across questions about the possibility of adapting plates to individual needs. In response to these expectations, we offer a customization service. It includes, among others, making non-standard holes or selecting special coatings. We recently carried out a project for a production plant, where the use of plates resistant to aggressive chemical environments was crucial.

In our daily practice, we see how important a comprehensive offer is. That is why, in addition to the panels themselves, we also supply assembly and sealing accessories. We also provide technical support at every stage of project implementation. Our experts provide advice on the selection of optimal solutions.

Safety is a priority when designing and installing switchboards.   Side and rear panels play a key role here. They provide protection not only against contact, but also against the influence of external factors. In our offer you will find products that meet the highest safety standards. All panels we offer have the necessary certificates and approvals.

We are observing a growing interest in smart solutions in the field of switchboards. In response to this trend, we have introduced boards adapted to integration with building management systems. They enable monitoring of temperature or humidity inside the switchboard. This solution works particularly well in industrial facilities and data centers.

At Onninen, we focus on comprehensive solutions. That is why, in addition to side and rear panels, we offer a full range of products for the construction of switchboards. This includes, among others, mounting rails, glands and ventilation systems. This approach ensures full compatibility of all components and guarantees the highest quality of the final installation.

We invite you to contact our specialists who will help you choose the optimal solutions for side and rear panels for switchboards.   Our knowledge and experience are at your disposal. Together we will find the perfect solution for each project, regardless of its scale and complexity.
