Switchboards and Enclosures
Switchboards and enclosures provide safe and efficient distribution of electrical power from residential homes to large buildings and manufacturing sites to large infrastructure projects.
Electrical Switchboards contain components like circuit breakers, switches, power monitoring and control devices to effectively distribute and manage the energy from the grid to the equipment or socket. Switchboards simplify the operation and maintenance of electrical systems, ensuring reliable power distribution.
Enclosures, on the other hand, are designed to provide a protective and secure environment for electrical equipment. They act as a barrier between the operator and components while also safeguarding these components from external factors such as dust, moisture, and accidental contact. Enclosures are available in various materials to meet your applications needs like, resistance to corrosion, impact, and other environmental conditions. Protecting the components inside an enclosure extends the lifespan to maintain optimal performance.
Switchboards and enclosures come in various sizes, shapes, and configurations to cater to different applications and installation requirements. Switchboards and enclosures are designed to meet safety standards, incorporating insulation, grounding, and ventilation. This ensures the prevention of electrical hazards and minimises the risk of electrical fires or accidents.
We offer modular electrical distribution switchboard enclosures and control panel switchboard enclosures for electrical distribution, intelligent power and motor control applications. Our online switchboard configuration tool (Flex Select) provides instant quotations and instant technical drawings on order placement. It’s quick and efficient to use and all orders are shipped within 48 hours!
Our ASCO range of switchboards add and shed distribution circuits, manage prioritised loads and optimise operational flexibility for facilities that require large amount of energy at various times.
Schneider Electric Australia is a leading manufacturer of residential, commercial, and industrial switchboards. Ranging from light to heavy-duty to modular heavy-duty, we have a switchboard enclosure for every application.

An enclosure is a protective housing for the distribution of electricity to various circuits within a home, office, building or facility. Enclosures can come with din rail or chassis mounting options for components such as circuit breakers, fuses, switches, and other devices.
The primary purpose of an enclosure is to provide protection to the electrical components mounted within. An enclosure provides a safety barrier from the active components within, protecting against accidental contact and environmental conditions like dust and moisture.
Our purpose build enclosures are designed to neatly organise all the electrical components and wiring connections. Enclosures are available in flush mount or wall mount options and typically made of metal or non-conductive plastic with removable covers or doors for easy access.
Flush Mount Enclosure: A flush mount enclosure is designed to be recessed into a wall or surface, creating a seamless and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Wall Mount Enclosure: A wall mount enclosure is designed to be attached directly to a wall or surface and available in various sizes and materials.
Plastic Enclosures: Plastic enclosures are made of materials like polycarbonate or ABS a nd are lightweight, cost-effective, and non-conductive. Plastic enclosures are often used in residential and light commercial settings where electrical insulation and corrosion resistance are required.
Metal Enclosures: Metal enclosures, are known for their durability, strength, and resistance to impact and environmental factors.
A chassis is the structural framework within a distribution board for the purpose mounting and distributing power. Comb busbars are similar and typically used in din rails installations.
Chassis and comb busbars are insulated, ensure proper alignment of components. They offer multiple connection points, usually in the form of slots or terminals, where circuit breakers, switches, or other devices can be easily connected.
An electrical chassis and comb busbar, eliminate the need for individual wiring between each circuit or load, reducing installation time and minimising the risk of wiring errors.
We offer three types of chassis, the first is a traditional metal chassis available in 250A or 400A with 6 to 72 poles in single or three phase models. Our second chassis is fully encapsulated offering additional safety by providing superior protection against direct contact, reducing potential hazards for electrical maintenance workers. It is Australian made to suite Australian standards and is adaptable to most industrial and commercial applications. Our third chassis called ‘Isobar’ has a unique busbar disconnection system with a switched neutral feature, it’s encapsulated, making it one of the safest chassis in the market for both the installer and end user.
Comb busbars are available in 12, 24 or 57 modules at 80A or 100A. They range from single phase to three phase plus neutral for a wide variety of applications.
