Article Overview

Distribution boxes come in a variety of models including low-voltage fixed and withdrawable switchgear, SPN boards, and explosion-proof types, each designed for specific electrical applications and safety requirements.

Low-Voltage Fixed Switchgear

  • GGD Series: Used in power industries such as substations and power plants; features high breaking capacity, stable performance, and novel structure; AC 50Hz, rated voltage 380V .
  • GDH Series: Similar to GGD, with manufacturer-specific parameters; widely used in industrial power supply systems .
  • PGL Series: Provides stable power supply in various settings; low-voltage fixed switchgear with reliable performance .

Low-Voltage Withdrawable Switchgear

  • GCK Series: Composed of power distribution center cabinets and motor control centers; AC 60Hz, working voltage ~660V; suitable for motor control and lighting equipment .
  • GCS Series: AC 50Hz, rated working voltage 400V; used in power plants, oil facilities, and high-rise buildings with high power consumption .
  • MNS Series: Compact, stable, and versatile; widely used in small power plants, industrial enterprises, hotels, and buildings .

SPN Distribution Boards (Eaton Memshield 3)

  • Rated at 125A with 4, 7, 10, 13, or 16 single-pole outgoing ways .
  • Type A boards fully tested with conditional short-circuit rating of 15kA to BS EN 61439-3 .
  • Compatible with high-performance MCBs (B, C, D curves) dual-rated at 10kA IEC 60898 & 15kA IEC 60947-2 .
  • Optional metering solutions for electrical consumption monitoring and compliance with building regulations .
  • Accessories include blanking modules, door locks, clean earth kits, and vertical interconnection kits .

Explosion-Proof and Hazardous Environment Models

  • BXM(D) Series: Suitable for explosive gas environments; excellent explosion-proof performance; used in petrochemical plants and oil platforms .
  • BHD Series: Designed for explosive dust environments; dustproof performance; used in coal and smelting industries .
  • BXP Series: Dual explosion-proof for gas and dust; ideal for petroleum, chemical, and military applications .

CHINT Final Distribution Boards

  • Provide safe distribution of electrical power to multiple circuits with overload, short-circuit, and earth fault protection .
  • Equipped with circuit breakers, earth leakage protection, and modular design for easy upgrades .
  • Customizable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications .

Schneider Electric Low-Voltage Switchboards

  • Compliant with international standards for low-voltage control and distribution .
  • Designed for reliability, safety, and long-term performance in commercial and industrial settings .

Key Considerations for Selection

  • Application environment: Industrial, commercial, residential, or hazardous areas.
  • Voltage and current ratings: Ensure compatibility with system requirements.
  • Safety features: Overload protection, earth leakage, explosion-proof design.
  • Modularity and expandability: Ability to add circuits or upgrade components.
  • Compliance: Adherence to local and international electrical standards. This comprehensive overview covers the main distribution box switch models and specifications, providing guidance for selecting the appropriate type based on application, safety, and performance requirements.
