Individual configuration of flush-mounted fuse boxes

A decisive factor for the selection of the right flush-mounted distribution box is the size and number of TE (division units / 1 TE = 17.5 millimetres). Depending on whether you want to use the housing as a small distributor or for larger sub-distribution. For this reason, you can choose the right model from various sizes. Depending on how many modules such as fuses and RCDs you want to install on the individual mounting rails (also called top-hat rails). 1 TE usually corresponds to one switch or one fuse.

Flush-mounted distributors in various sizes:

• 8 to 70 module places (TE) selectable
• 1-row, 2-row, 3-row and 4-row
• As standard, 12TE can be used per mounting rail (TS35 rails), but more individual divisions are also possible.

In addition to the size and the modules that can be integrated per DIN rail, other factors are decisive. For example, you can choose from transparent or opaque doors in different colours and from materials such as polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Door hinges on both sides are also possible.

Flush-mounted distributors with transparent doors , for example, offer the advantage of allowing a quick and easy view of all the components installed inside. This is because many integrable fixtures have signal or warning lights, the status of which can thus be easily checked at a glance through the polycarbonate door without having to open the enclosure. Very practical, if this was additionally equipped with a safety lock. This is particularly advantageous for multimedia distributors, control cabinets or server cabinets. But it is also a quick and easy way to check the status of the fuses in the distribution box. At the same time, transparent doors offer an additional “eye-catcher”, particularly in the case of flush-mounted distributors, when it comes to a tidy and cleanly wired interior.

Choose optionally from a wide range of accessories:

• Security locks
• Various screw connections (e.g. for pressure compensation, drainage, etc.)
• Double terminals and various insulated PE & N terminals
• Protective covers
• Busbars

Our distribution boxes are delivered ready for use. In addition to detailed assembly instructions, the appropriate number of terminals (insulated standard screw terminal) and corresponding mounting rails are installed depending on the number of modules. All fastening screws are of course also included in the scope of delivery.

The PE & N plug-in terminals can be adapted on request. As optional accessories we offer double-row insulated terminal strips or screwless insulated terminal strips to ensure ease of installation.

Scope of delivery at a glance:

• PE & N plug-in terminals ( quick-connect terminals)
• Mounting rails
• Mounting plates for multimedia distributors
• Cover
• Fastening screws
• Detailed assembly instructions
• Transparent polycarbonate door or opaque ABS door
• Sealing plug
• If individual module slots are not required, corresponding blind covers are also included in the standard scope of delivery.

The installation of small distribution boards and sub-distribution boards for power distribution is not something you want to spend a lot of time on in your day-to-day operations. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure flexibility, customizability and reliability while keeping assembly simple. The installation should be possible intuitively. For this purpose, the different series of our flush-mounted fuse boxes offer various advantages.

• The Flush-mounted multimedia distributor DISBOX-XT convinces not only by high functionality and security, e.g. by the powder-coated and impact-resistant door, or the ventilation slots for cooling and a better W-LAN signal. The left or right selectable door hinge and the perforated mounting plate allow high flexibility during installation. The perforated and continuous mounting plate with a 3.2mm perforation made of galvanized stainless steel inside the multimedia distributor is ideal for mounting your communication systems, such as WI-FI routers, switches and patch panels. Additional brackets for the router, connection clamps or double Schuko sockets can also be purchased from our shop. By flush-mounting the distribution box, we offer the possibility of making the complete technology virtually disappear. The sheet steel door is only minimally built up and does not stand out in any building with its white colour (RAL9003).
• The DISBOX-MT flush-mounted distributor allow maximum flexibility in cable routing. In the lower part of the housing there are pre-stampings on all sides for cable routing and can be used very flexibly. While the other series only have pre-stampings for cable routing at the top or bottom, the cables can be inserted here from all sides. The user is very free in the choice of cable routing and can decide without restrictions which is the best way for the given installation situation.
• The DISBOX-G flush-mounted small distribution boardhave various pre-stampings on the back in order to be able to insert flush-mounted or flush-mounted cables into the housing at the top or bottom accordingly. In this way, a completely “clean” cable routing can be realised, in which no surface-mounted cables are visible that could disturb the overall visual impression of the flush-mounted distributor. In addition to the insulated standard screw terminals included in the scope of delivery of the flush-mounted small distribution board , we also offer double-row insulated terminal strips or screwless insulated terminal strips to ensure a high degree of ease of installation.
• The DISBOX-K flush-mounted distribution boxes offer various pre-stampings in the wall box in order to insert flush-mounted or in-wall cables into the housing at the top or bottom. The ultra-slim front design protrudes only 5mm from the wall inlet.
• For the safe and standard-compliant use of the distribution boxes, the possibility of unambiguous assignment of the installed components is of utmost importance. In our fuse and distribution boxes of all series, we provide clear labelling of all module mounting positions and also of the associated terminals. This makes wiring much easier and saves time.
• Mounting rails for smaller sizes – For the smaller sizes (2-5 modules), the mounting rails are already integrated in the housing. We have already reproduced the shape of a TS35 mounting rail in the mould of the injection moulding tool and integrated it in the housing base. This means that the individual installations can be snapped on and wired very easily.
• Mounting rails for larger sizes – For the three larger enclosure sizes (12-54 modules), one or more mounting rails made of galvanized sheet steel are mounted and supplied accordingly. We only use the TS35 rail type.

• Consider sufficient space for installation work on the flush-mounted distributor (cable entries and cable routing).
• Consider height of comfortable posture during operation of integrated modules such as circuit breakers and switches
• Attach a distribution plan for the circuits to the inner door
• When selecting the design or size of the flush-mounted fuse box, do not only consider currently required modules, but also plan sufficient space for future terminals and switching elements, e.g. additional electricity meters or similar.
• Avoid crossings and cable bundles in order to prevent the generation of dangerous heat.
• Use clamps for strain relief so that flexible cables do not tear
• Check that covers are in place and that built-in devices such as circuit breakers or the timer are correctly seated on the mounting rail.
• If the ambient conditions of the distributor are damp or too warm, use a damp room distributor (IP65).
• All circuits should be protected by a residual current circuit breaker. For this purpose, at least 2 residual current circuit breakers should be installed, otherwise all circuits will be disconnected from the power supply in the event of a fault current. Especially in industrial plants, but also in private homes, the light should not go out if a fuse blows, because otherwise troubleshooting is made very difficult.
• Correct marking and individual protection by circuit breakers of the usual rooms bedrooms living room, study, hallway, etc., so that in the event of an overload or short circuit in one circuit, the others are not affected. Correct labelling is also important because in the event of a fault, it is usually necessary to act quickly.
• Separate and power-specific fuse protection for one circuit for lighting and one circuit for sockets.
• Do not mount the cover frame and door of the flush-mounted distributor until the electrical installation has been completed.
