ELECTRIC.IE • The Magazine & Website for the Irish Electrical Industry • 11 Invicta is easy to install and is the perfect solution for installations that are not typically domestic or commercial, but fall somewhere in between. Invicta provides the flexibility for future additions, which is ideally suited to the ever changing nature of sub and final distribution. Invicta 3 Distribution & Panel Boards The whole nature of electrical sub and final distribution for commercial installations has changed in the last few years. Typically there are more outgoing ways, more RCBOs and/or RCD protection, more metering and more control devices. Electrical distribution is at the heart of a building’s services. Modern distribution boards must enable designs that meet the demands of today, the need for more metering and the demands for energy efficient solutions through control devices or building management systems. Invicta meets the needs of current installations, not those of the past. Our range of Invicta boards makes it easier for you to design and install electrical distribution systems that meet the needs of today and the future. Demand for energy efficiency has led to an increased demand for control. Consider Invicta Type B boards that have integral DIN rails for control devices and that allow different size extension boxes to be fitted on the top, bottom or sides of the board. Why specify Invicta 3 Type B boards? - Multiple incomer choices for 125A and 250A boards - Optimal cabling space - Earth and neutral bars positioned for easier cabling - Screws on earth and neutral bars need less turns to fit cable - Unique trunking entry system – no need for paxolin - Metering fitted next to incomer / within board - Wide range of extension boxes for side, top and bottom - No spacers needed to mount boards, cableways or extension boxes - Removable door and front cover for ease of fitting - 100A tap off for board extensions or MCB. The new Invicta 3 Type B boards are packed full of features to help make your life easier. There are many reasons why they should be at the top of your list. Here are just four: Reason 1: Trunking Cable Entry The Invicta Type B board has an end plate that is adapted for coupling to trunking. Simply remove the gland plate from the top or bottom of the board to leave a smooth return edge. This allows flush coupling to trunking and a smooth entry for cables to meet the requirements of the regulations. Paxolin and other time consuming solutions are a thing of the past. Reason 2: Earth and Neutral Bars The earth and neutral bars are positioned and designed for simpler installation. The neutral bars have transparent IP2X shrouding to make cabling easier. “Our range of Invicta boards makes it easier for you to design and install electrical distribution systems that meet the needs of today and the future.” The screws on both need less turns to fix the cable. Reason 3: Metering The metering kit fits directly into the main board. This saves space and means that there is no need for an extension box. Reason 4: Glazed Door The Invicta Type B board is the best-looking distribution board on the market. Its glazed door allows ‘ordinary persons’ as defined by the 4th Edition to look into the board while denying them access through a lock. For further information contact Hager Ltd.
