Tronic ABS Distribution Board 280 x 380 x 130 mm

Our review

This Tronic unit is a distribution board made from ABS plastic, sized 280 by 380 by 130 millimetres. In practice it is the enclosure that takes a single electrical supply and divides it into separate circuits, each protected by its own fuse or circuit breaker. That makes it relevant to anyone organising power in a home, shop, workshop or small commercial space where several circuits need to run from one point. Because it is described as weatherproof, it is worth considering for positions where damp or dust is a concern, though you should confirm the installation environment suits the material. Before buying, check the number and rating of breakers you need to fit, since no specifications are listed here, and compare the internal space and mounting arrangement against other consumer units of similar size. Also think about whether you want a plastic enclosure or a metal one, and whether a qualified electrician will install it, as circuit protection work should be done by someone competent.
