An electrical switchboard is a device that receives electrical energy and distributes it further. It also protects networks against short circuits and overloads. Switchboards are used for power and lighting installations on commercial, administrative and public sites. It is a metal or plastic box with a door that houses the necessary equipment: switching and protective devices. In every case a design is prepared, and the electrical installation work is carried out on its basis. Switchboards, at an affordable price, are installed in line with the standards, so complete safety is ensured.

Switchboard installation

This is a responsible task that Vision Lighting Ukraine electricians carry out to a professional standard. Depending on the site, different types of device are installed. It may be a main distribution board, which distributes electrical energy throughout the building or a part of it. The distribution board houses emergency automation and metering devices.

A separate type is the input distribution unit, a set of electrical structures. It is installed in residential and public buildings at the incoming supply line. It can contain fuses, isolators and emergency lighting switches.

Switchboard assembly

At the design stage our specialists resolve all questions about the power supply system of the site. The board is assembled with expertise, to standard or custom diagrams. The type of device is chosen based on the operating conditions, the type of wiring and the number of breakers. Switchboard installation, at a reasonable price, follows strict requirements. The main condition is unobstructed access to the device in case of an emergency.

In many cases ready-made modular enclosures are installed. They are small and house a DIN rail and the necessary equipment. For larger equipment, boards with a mounting panel are used: wall-mounted steel cabinets with weather-resistant powder coating. They are well protected against corrosion and harmful external factors.

Fitting a switchboard

Clients who work with us are satisfied with everything. If needed, we dismantle the old switchboard, a service required during major refurbishment. Switchboard replacement is carried out to the highest quality. First the preparatory work is done, then the electricians assemble the complete unit.

Electrical switchroom installation follows strict rules, and mistakes are not acceptable. Vision Lighting Ukraine specialists understand this very well, so switchboards are installed properly. First the fixings are mounted, then the electrical connections are made according to the diagram. At the final stage the connection of all devices is checked and the tests required by the standards are carried out. After commissioning, the site is handed over to the client.
