HOW TO CHOOSE A SOLUTION THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU
WHERE WILL IT BE INSTALLED?
The installation position of a distribution board will determine what level of dust and waterproofing is required, as well as what
material it is made from and if any mounting accessories are required.
Application Recommended Solution
In an electrical cupboard or switchroom Evolution E43
Inside, on a wall Evolution E43; may require optional lock accessory
Inside, in a dirty or wet environment like a factory Evolution E65
Evolution E65; may require
Outside, undercover out of the weather optional rain hood
Outside, with no protection from the weather Evolution E65 with rain hood or Evolution E66
In a corrosive environment like a Evolution E66 Stainless Steel
chemical factory or near the ocean in a salty atmosphere
Where washdown is required like a food processing plant Evolution E66 Stainless Steel
HOW MANY CIRCUITS ARE THERE?
The number of outgoing circuits determine the number of poles. Standard or RCD protected single phase circuits will need 1 pole each.
Three phase circuits will need 3 poles each for standard circuits or 5 - 6 poles each for RCD protected circuits. Add up the number of
required poles, including spare poles for future expansion and round up to the nearest whole dozen to determine the size of the board.
All Evolution ranges are available in sizes from 12 - 96 poles.
IS A MAIN SWITCH REQUIRED?
How would the board be isolated if an electrical contractor needed to modify it, such as adding a circuit? If the board can be
isolated at a nearby location like a main board, then a main switch may not be required. Whether a main switch is required may also be
determined by the state or supply authority wiring rules. All Evolution ranges are available as standard with no main switch, a
250A switch disconnector, or a moulded case circuit breaker. Other options are available.
WHAT COLOUR?
The Evolution Range is available in the following colours:
- RAL7035 Grey or RAL2000 Orange for Evolution E43 and Evolution E65.
- Unpainted for Evolution E66 Stainless Steel.
All ranges can be optionally resprayed into any colour. Specify the RAL colour required at the time of ordering.
