1 PANELBOARDS AND LOADCENTRES Easy Selection Guide POWER DISTRIBUTION AND PROTECTION nhp.com.au nhp-nz.com

2 A panelboard is a distribution centre for the electrical circuits within an installation. The mains power comes in and is divided into the sub circuits. When selecting a panelboard, you need an understanding of the number of circuits and the circuit breakers that are going to protect those circuits. There are also other factors, such as the environment of the installation and any accessories that may be needed. There are six steps involved in selecting the right panelboard option. step 1 STEP 1: Select the breaker type: DIN-mount Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB) NEMA Style MOD6 Din-T Safe-T Most times the Miniature Circuit Breakers will be used, however if a contractor is replacing or adding to an existing building, they may require the NEMA style breakers and boards. Panelboards are sold as MOD6, Din-T or Safe-T and come with the correct busbar chassis to accommodate the chosen breaker style. step step 2 3 STEP 2: What is the chassis size? As mentioned, a panelboard distributes sub circuits, so it is important to know how many circuits are required for the installation. Each circuit requires a circuit breaker to be mounted to the chassis; we refer to this as a pole. Boards are sized by the number of poles required. You need to choose between an 18 pole, 24 pole, 36 pole, 48 pole, 60 pole or 96 pole board. STEP 3: Mainswitch? Select whether a mainswitch is required. Sometimes the installer may choose to isolate the board from a circuit breaker or mainswitch in another location. If this is the case, choose No mainswitch for the board. Note: The terms isolator and mainswitch are similar devices, they describe a device that is used only to remove power to the board. Isolators do not provide overload or short-circuit protection, circuit breakers are used for that purpose. Standard mainswitch options are 160A or 250A isolator. 1 pole 2

3 step 4 STEP 4: Type of board: Choose the range of board required to suit the application and environment. MOD6 CONCEPT CONCEPT PLUS 2 CONCEPT PREMIER CONCEPT TOUGH Economical Domestic installations Limited options Light applications Suits Din-T only Sizes up to 96 pole 1.6mm mild steel Accessory box option IP66, weatherproof Larger enclosure size Suits MCCB mounting 300mm depth Stainless steel option Rain hood as standard step 5 STEP 5: Colour options: The colour option describes the look of the panelboard, externally. Standard base/door combinations available are: Oyster Grey (MOD6 only) Charcoal/Grey Charcoal/Orange Orange/Orange Note: The paint options are flexible in the Concept range, but must be specified when ordering the board if it s a non-standard colour. Charcoal/Orange and Charcoal/Grey step 6 STEP 6: Other options: Once the basic layout and look of the board has been selected, we then choose options to be included. Some of the more common options include: ITEM DESCRIPTION IMAGE Split kit The main bars of the chassis are split, so that they become dual fed (from both top and bottom). This applies if the installation needs to be monitored separately, ie. metering light and power circuits separately. Accessory module Empty box of varying height. If you order a Concept Plus accessory module, it will be the same dimensions as the Concept Plus panelboard, making it easy to mount side by side or above/below each other. Typical uses include larger cable terminations, over-size mainswitches, third-party lighting control. Emergency lighting test Tests operation of Emergency Evacuation Lighting for buildings; installed next to the mainswitch, on the horizontal DIN slot. Flush mounting kit Allows panelboard to be mounted in a wall cavity, so closed door is flush with the wall surface. Rain hood Plinth Fitted to flat roof, to give board a sloped-roof so any water dropping above, is deflected away to the front or side channels of the board so no water gets in from the top. When board needs to be floor-standing. This is a steel plate that is the same dimension as the board, but adds about 100mm to the overall height when fixed to the bottom of the board. Lock dog Designed for the purpose of safely and securely locking the DIN-mount MCBs. Captive and non-captive versions are available, depending on whether the device is fixed to the MCB or not. 3

13 A loadcentre is a small enclosure, which houses the protective equipment (circuit breakers and RCDs). A loadcentre is typically used when capacity and/or available space is minimal. Typical loadcentre sizes are 12 and 18 pole, and available options include insulated plastic constructions. Loadcentres can be selected by the following criteria: Breaker type DIN rail mounted (Din-T, MOD6), or clip-tray mounted (Safe-T) Mounting Recessed in a cavity (flush mount), or surface mount Material Plastic or mild steel Protection IP40, IP43, or IP55 rating Padlockable door, door lock kit IP40 Insulated Loadcentres: Standard AS/NZS Suits NHP MOD6 Din-T MCBs and associated DIN equipment Surface mount IP40 Split earth neutral bars Removable earth and neutral bar support Transparent or white door Supplied complete with buscomb Surface mount Pole capacity No. of rows Neutral bar Earth bar Transparent door Number 1) White door Number. 1) /3/3 12 CSB12ST CSB12SW /3/3/3 18 CSB18ST CSB18SW /3/3/3/3 24 CSB24ST CSB24SW /12/12 36 CSB36ST CSB36SW Flush mount /3/3 12 CSB12FT CSB12FW /3/3/3 18 CSB18FT CSB18FW /3/3/3/3 24 CSB24FT CSB24FW /12/12 36 CSB36FT CSB36FW Item Pole capacity Metal backing plate 12 CSB12FMP (for flush enclosure - mechanical protection) 18 CSB18FMP 24 CSB24FMP 36 CSB36FMP 13
