Switchboards

Main switchboards are the central hub of an electrical distribution system. They receive power from the utility supply and distribute it safely and efficiently throughout a building, facility, or site. Acting as the primary control point, main switchboards house key components such as main isolators, circuit breakers, and surge protection devices.
Distribution boards (often called DBs) are a crucial part of any electrical installation. Their primary function is to distribute electrical power from a main switchboard or supply source to various circuits within a building or site. Each outgoing circuit is protected by a circuit breaker or a protective device to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Control panels are purpose-built enclosures that house electrical components used to operate, monitor, and control machinery and equipment. Unlike standard distribution boards, control panels are focused on automation and process control rather than simply distributing power. They are widely used in manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, water treatment facilities, and HVAC systems.
Meter panels are dedicated enclosures designed to house electricity meters and associated equipment used to measure and monitor electrical consumption. They serve as the point where utility providers record energy usage for billing purposes, and they form a critical interface between the supply authority and the end user.
Temporary power boards provide safe, reliable electricity to construction sites, events, and short-term installations. They are designed to distribute power during the early stages of a project before permanent electrical infrastructure is in place. These boards are essential for running tools, lighting, machinery, and site amenities.
Supply connection facilities are critical components designed to comply with the Victorian Service and Installation Rules (VSIR), ensuring safety, reliability, and seamless integration with utility networks.
