YOUR TRUSTED SWITCHBOARD MANUFACTURERS, SINCE 1999

SERVICES

Design

Our switchboards are designed to safely fulfill all the functions required by the customer, the various electrical regulations and the supply authority rules.  Thoughtful planning makes use of both tried and proven engineering practices together with the latest and innovative methods to achieve this result in the most cost effective way.

​

The design should always exceed the electrical parameters of the installation in terms of load carrying capacity, fault interruption, supply characteristics etc, both present and future.  Due consideration is also given to the operating environment where the switchboard will be installed, to ensure it can withstand all external adverse elements encountered.

Quality

Our switchboards are built using heavy gauge metal which is especially important in adverse situations, e.g. weather exposure.  Metal surfaces have industrial grade power-coated finish applied, having first been pre-treated with zinc primer.  This exceeds the standard used by many of our competitors.

​

Only the best quality switchgear and components are used, sourced from recognised industry leading suppliers with local back up and support, both with warranty and readily available spare parts.

​

Because of our commitment to cost-effective quality our switchboards have been used with great success throughout many regions of South East Australia.

Functionality

Our switchboards are built for ease of operation for the operating personnel with all items logically laid out, clearly labelled and can be safely accessed and operated.  

​

Additionally, switchboards are built for ease of use by the installer, having well designed mounting lugs, generous cabling passages with more than adequate access to device terminals which are sized to complement the cable sizes being used. 

​

Little details like these can make a big difference to your project installation time and far outweigh the advantage that a slightly cheaper price may seem at first glance!
