What is a sub-distribution board

The sub-distribution board is used when a part of the installation is located far from the main distribution board or requires separate distribution and protection.

When is it used

  • On another floor.
  • In a garage or storage room.
  • In an external building.
  • In a space with many independent loads.

What needs to be calculated

The supply line for the sub-distribution board must be calculated based on the total load, length, voltage drop, and cable protection.

Important

The sub-distribution board should not be connected haphazardly from a random line. It requires proper power supply, grounding, and coordination of protective devices.
