Types of Switchboard Panel Meters

The NEC defines a switchboard as "a large frame, single panel, or assemblage of panels on which overcurrent, switches, and other safety devices, buses, and generally instruments are installed on the face, back, or both." These assemblies are often accessible from both the front and back, and they are not designed to be fitted in cabinets.

Switchboards meters and panelboards are similar in that they are generally rated for up to 600V, although switchboards and load centers can handle larger fault currents.

Let's talk about the many types of switchboard meters presently.

  • Central switchboards

The highest levels of safety, quality, efficiency, and endurance are required. When these characteristics are required for electrical power distribution, a CUBIC electrical switchboard is the best option.

The Modular System includes a main switchboard.

Any Modular System main switchboard provides an infinite number of options for effective power distribution up to 6300 A.

  • Switchboards for distribution

When the highest levels of safety, quality, efficiency, and durability are required for electrical power distribution, and electrical switchboard solution may be the best choice.

Distribution switchboards that are both operational and worker safety.

Our Modular System, which is ideal for effective power distribution up to 6300 A, is used to build low voltage distribution panels.

  • Control panels

Control panels can be built quickly and easily with the Modular System's basic components. The control panels can now be used in conjunction with main switchboards, desktops, or 19" racks thanks to this feature.

If a cable section is required, it can be built as an incorporated element of the control panel.

  • Marine panels

Marine panels up to 6300 A can be built using tested busbar systems.

Because of its dimension flexibility, the switchboard may be constructed to fit the typically limited space on ships. As a result, the switchboard can be erected free-standing, maximizing the available area. This permits access to the switchboard from both the front and back, with connections made from the switchboard's top, bottom, or sides.

  • Modular 19" rack

19" rack enclosures are commonly used in data centers, server rooms, and web hotels to house many units of electronic equipment. Scientific and audio equipment can also be housed in 19" racks. Moveable or floor-standing 19" rack enclosures are available.

  • Motor Control center (MCC)

A motor control center (MCC) is an electrical switchboard with one or more motor starter sections.

When the power effect requirement surpasses 1000 A and several motors and engines must be controlled, motor control center solutions are frequently the best option.

 

Final Thoughts

Electricians have a wide range of choices when it comes to panelboards, switchboard meters, and switchgear when designing a facility's electrical system. There are always workable answers based on whatever conditions are at play at a particular institution.
