Description
A Feeder Pillar Panel is an essential component for safe, reliable, and centralized outdoor power distribution. It acts as a robust enclosure housing critical electrical switchgear, protection devices, and control equipment, distributing electricity from a main supply to various outgoing circuits.
Feeder Pillar Panel: Robust & Reliable Outdoor Power Distribution
The Feeder Pillar Panel is a highly durable and efficient solution designed for the safe distribution and protection of electrical power in outdoor and challenging environments. Engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions and provide secure access, our feeder pillars are critical for managing power to a wide range of applications, from public infrastructure to industrial sites.
Serving as a central hub for power take-off and control, these panels ensure operational continuity, enhance safety, and allow for efficient maintenance and monitoring of electrical loads.
Key Features
- Robust Weatherproof Enclosure:
- Constructed from heavy-gauge Mild Steel (MS) or Stainless Steel (SS) (e.g., SS304, SS316) for maximum corrosion resistance and longevity.
- IP55, IP65, or IP66 rated options available, providing superior protection against dust ingress, rain, jets of water, and other environmental factors.
- UV-stabilized powder coating (for MS enclosures) ensuring long-lasting finish and resistance to fading or chipping.
- Ventilation louvers with insect screens to prevent overheating while maintaining ingress protection.
- High-Quality Internal Components:
- Copper Busbar System: Fully rated and insulated for main incoming and outgoing circuits, ensuring efficient power transfer.
- Leading Brand Circuit Breakers: Options for MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker), MCCB (Moulded Case Circuit Breaker), RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection), and RCD (Residual Current Device) for comprehensive overcurrent, short-circuit, and earth fault protection.
- Main Isolator/Switch Disconnector: For safe isolation of the entire panel during maintenance.
- Metering Options: Digital or analog voltmeters, ammeters, and energy meters to monitor power consumption and supply parameters.
- Control Devices: Timers, contactors, relays, and PLCs for automated control of loads (e.g., street lighting schedules).
- Enhanced Safety & Security:
- Fully gasketted doors with robust 3-point or 5-point locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access.
- Internal gland plates for secure and neat cable entry/exit, often removable for ease of installation.
- Dedicated earthing/grounding points and internal earth bars for comprehensive electrical safety.
- Clear labeling of circuits, components, and warning signs for safe operation and maintenance.
- Modularity & Customization:
- Available in various sizes and configurations to meet specific current ratings, number of outgoing ways, and component requirements.
- Flexible internal layouts to accommodate different types of switchgear and control equipment.
- Plinth or pole-mounting options for diverse installation scenarios.
Benefits
- Uncompromised Reliability: Ensures consistent and stable power distribution even in the harshest outdoor conditions.
- Superior Safety: Protects personnel from electrical hazards and equipment from damage due to faults or environmental factors.
- Long Lifespan: Constructed from premium materials and finishes to guarantee years of trouble-free operation, reducing replacement costs.
- Ease of Installation & Maintenance: Designed with practical features like removable gland plates, ample wiring space, and hinged doors for efficient setup and servicing.
- Scalability & Adaptability: Customizable configurations allow the panel to grow or adapt to changing power requirements.
- Regulatory Compliance: Manufactured to international standards (e.g., IEC, BS EN) ensuring acceptance and safety in various regions.
- Centralized Control: Consolidates power distribution, protection, and monitoring into one secure, accessible unit.
