What Is a Distribution Board?
A distribution board is a vital part of an electrical system, commonly installed in commercial and industrial properties. It distributes electricity from the main incoming supply to individual circuits throughout a building. Depending on the installation, it may use a three-phase incoming supply with outgoing single-phase or three-phase circuits protected by Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) or Residual Current Breakers with Overcurrent Protection (RCBOs).
When Should a Distribution Board Be Replaced?
|
The existing board is damaged or outdated. |
Additional circuits or capacity are required. |
|
Existing protective devices are unsuitable. |
An electrical inspection identifies safety concerns. |
How Much Does Distribution Board Replacement Cost?
Costs depend on the board type, number of circuits and any additional remedial work. Just Sparky can assess your requirements and provide a suitable quotation.
Do I Need an EICR Before Replacement?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) can help identify existing faults before replacement. The appropriate inspection and testing arrangements depend on the installation and the work required.
How Long Does Replacement Take?
Replacement time depends on the size of the board, number of circuits and any additional repairs. Straightforward installations may take several hours, while complex projects can take longer.
