Upgrading Electrical Distribution Boards

As technology advances and businesses evolve, the demand for efficient and reliable electrical systems in commercial spaces has become paramount. One essential component often overlooked is the electrical distribution board — a core element that distributes power throughout a building. Many establishments still operate with outdated electrical distribution boards, leading to inefficiencies, safety hazards, and non-compliance with modern electrical standards. This is where an upgrade becomes crucial.

‍

Understanding Old Electrical Distribution Boards:

Older electrical distribution boards, particularly those using obsolete technology or lacking modern features, can pose significant challenges. Common more senior types include:

1. Fuse Wire Consumer Units: Traditional fuse wire consumer units have limited capacity and can be inconvenient to maintain. When blown, they require physical replacement of fuses, leading to downtime and inconvenience.

2. Outdated Distribution Boards: These boards might not meet the power demands of modern equipment and machinery, leading to frequent tripping, insufficient power supply, and potential risks of electrical fires.

‍

Why Upgrade?

Enhanced Safety: One of the primary reasons to upgrade electrical distribution boards is to ensure safety. Outdated distribution boards increase the risk of electrical faults, shocks, and fires. Upgrading reduces these risks significantly.

Increased Efficiency: Modern distribution boards offer improved efficiency and can accommodate higher electrical loads without issues. This means reduced downtime, better power distribution, and enhanced operational efficiency.  

Adherence to Electrical Compliance: Many older distribution boards may not comply with current electrical codes and standards. Upgrading ensures compliance, avoiding legal complications and potential penalties.

‍

Safety Concerns of Not Upgrading:

Operating with outdated electrical distribution boards poses several safety concerns:

1. Fire Hazards: Overloaded circuits or faulty distribution boards increase the risk of electrical fires.

2. Electrical Shocks: Outdated distribution boards might not have modern safety features, increasing the risk of electrical shocks to occupants.

3. Inadequate Power Supply: Insufficient power can hinder operations, damage sensitive equipment, and hamper productivity.
