Typical applications

  • Machine and section feeds
  • Workshops and warehouses
  • Commercial utilities

Key features

  • MCCB / MCB outgoing
  • Busbar and neutral options
  • Labelled circuits

Selection notes

Build the load schedule before choosing the board: list every outgoing circuit with its load, voltage and phase, then total the load per phase. A board with an unbalanced load runs hot on one phase and trips early, so aim to spread single-phase loads evenly.

  • Pick the incomer (isolator or MCCB) from the total current with allowance for diversity, and check its short-circuit rating against the supply fault level.
  • Outgoing ways of moderate current can use MCBs; larger or motor feeders usually need MCCBs.
  • Add residual-current protection where people can touch the equipment or where the supply standard requires it.
  • Leave spare ways for future expansion.
  • Label each circuit and provide a neutral and earth bar for every way.

Choose an enclosure rating for dust and moisture on the shop floor. The related lighting distribution board is for lighting circuits, with component choices under MCBs, MCCBs and RCCBs and RCBOs. Confirm all ratings with a qualified electrical engineer.

Frequently asked questions

How many spare ways should a distribution board have?

Leave some spare ways for future loads; the number depends on how likely the site is to expand. A load schedule helps judge it, and it is cheaper to plan now than to replace the board later.

When do I use an MCB instead of an MCCB?

MCBs suit small final circuits up to modest current; MCCBs suit larger feeders, motors and higher fault levels, and have adjustable settings. Choose by current and breaking capacity. Breaking capacity should be above the fault level at the board in both cases.

Why balance the load between phases?

An unbalanced load overloads one phase and causes neutral current and voltage imbalance. Distribute single-phase circuits evenly across the three phases. Where loads vary by shift, check the highest simultaneous load on each phase and move circuits between phases until currents are close.
