What Is a Distribution Board?
A distribution board is the central node of the power supply of any building, providing safe distribution of electricity to individual circuits. A properly designed board protects equipment from overloads, short circuits, and leakage currents. The EKF range available at ALMEP TRADING includes boards of various modifications — from compact household models with 12 modules to industrial cabinets with several hundred modules. Each board is made of high-quality plastic or metal, provides IP43 and higher protection rating, and complies with international safety standards.
Determine the number of consumer groups (lighting, outlets, appliances) Calculate the total load for each group Select the rating of circuit breakers (10A, 16A, 25A) Provide RCDs for wet rooms (bathroom, kitchen) Leave 20% module reserve for future expansions
EKF Board Configuration
EKF offers a full range of modular devices for distribution board configuration: circuit breakers, RCBOs, RCDs, voltage limiters, time relays, and phase monitoring relays. All EKF Basic and EKF Professional series devices are interchangeable and easily mounted on DIN rails. Plastic doors and board enclosures are made of non-combustible polycarbonate, providing additional fire safety.
A distribution board is not just a box with breakers. It is the heart of your home or office electrical safety.
