SUBBOARD FOR BACKUP LOADS IP RATED OUTDOOR

Overview

A subboard for backup loads (outdoor, IP-rated) is an electrical distribution board designed for outdoor use to manage and distribute electricity specifically for essential backup circuits. It connects to a backup source (solar inverter, UPS, or generator) and ensures critical appliances continue to operate during grid outages. The IP-rated enclosure protects the board from dust, water, and weather conditions.

📊 Key Features

• Outdoor Use: IP-rated enclosure (commonly IP65) for weather and dust protection.

• Backup Load Circuits: Dedicated circuits for essential appliances (lights, fans, fridge, security systems, etc.).

• Circuit Protection: Includes MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) or fuses for each load.

• Robust Enclosure: Made of metal or flame-retardant plastic to withstand outdoor conditions.

• Easy Access & Maintenance: Clearly labeled circuits with front access for breakers.

• Integration with Backup Source: Connects to inverter, generator, or hybrid systems for uninterrupted supply.

• Safety Compliance: Designed according to electrical standards for outdoor distribution boards.

📋 Typical Specifications

• Number of Circuits: 4–12 MCBs (varies by model).

• Voltage Rating: 230/240 V AC (single-phase) or 400 V AC (three-phase).

• Current Rating: 10–63 A per MCB depending on load.

• Enclosure Material: Powder-coated metal or UV-resistant plastic.

• Ingress Protection: IP65 (dust-tight and protected against water jets).

• Dimensions: Varies, e.g., 400×300×150 mm for compact versions.

• Mounting: Wall-mounted with cable entry options from top, bottom, or sides.

🧰 Purpose & Benefits

• Reliable Backup Distribution: Keeps essential loads powered during grid failures.

• Outdoor Durability: Weatherproof design protects circuits from rain, dust, and sun.

• Safe & Organized: Provides individual protection for each backup circuit.

• Simplifies Wiring: Separates backup circuits from main board for easier maintenance.

• Expandable: Additional circuits can be added if needed.
