Switchboards are an important part of any electricity framework, be it a commercial or industrial setup. The main job of an electrical switchboard is to distribute electricity across sub circuits across a particular electricity framework.

 

Types of switchboards 

 

Electrical switchboards are of different types, and as per the requirements of the applications, they can be custom-made by the leading manufacturers of standard and t safe switchboard manufacturers

 in India. Here are some of the main types of electrical switchboards:

 

1.    General-purpose switchboards

 

Made and supplied by the leading standard and T safe switchboard manufacturers, general-purpose switchboards can incorporate coordinated and well-protected case circuit breakers, formed case circuit breakers, combined switches, metering, and surge protection. By far, most switchboard purposes can be served by making use of a general-purpose switchboard.

 

2.    Fusible switchboards

 

The switchboards of this category are designed and developed especially to find applications in service entrances, commercial, and industrial establishments. Fusible switchboards safeguard the switch feeder as well as branch circuits. Every unit incorporates a switching contact structure that has an instantaneous trip element.

 

3.      Commercial metering switchboards 

 

Commercial metering switchboards are a combination of circuit breakers, undercarriage, surge safety, and meter attachments in a single, well-designed assembly. Metering can be either bulb-type watt-hour meters or electronic occupant metering, as needed by the utility.

 

Made and supplied by the leading standard and T SAFE panel suppliers, commercial metering switchboards are available for EUSERC as well as non-EUSERC utility metering prerequisites and provide electrical frameworks with proper power distribution and metering ability for retail outlets, places of business, and a large number of other commercial multi-metering applications. 

 

4.      Draw-out molded case switchboards

 

Draw-out-shaped case switchboards offer similar essential capacities just like a general-purpose switchboard, with the additional usefulness of offering the draw-out ability for at least one feeder breaker. Draw-out-shaped case switchboards are often applied in basic applications that include medical services and data centers to reduce system downtime when supplanting a breaker.

 

5.    T SAFE switchboards

 

T SAFE panels are also one of the most important switchboards used across industrial applications. These devices are well-known for their safety, durability, and reliability. Made and supplied by Tricolite - India’s leading provider of customized power solutions, the specifications of a T SAFE switchboards are:
