Below you will find the technical charts for the following:
- Calculating short circuit currents
- Average full load motor currents
- Technical data
For calculating short circuits, we have sourced this information from a document found on the Schneider Electric website here. However, if you don't have the time to download and browse through 35 pages, we have just the page here to help you. Calculating_short_circuit_current.pdf
Average full load motor currents table can be found in Schneider Electric's catalogue on page P25. Click here to view the Average_full_load_motor_currents.pdf
For general technical data, use the following link Technical_data.pdf downloaded for you from Schneider Electric's catalogue. You will find this page on P26.
If these charts still don't answer your questions and you have access to a Schneider Electric Cataloge, flip to the technical references section in the back to find more charts and tables. Or, you can give us a call to talk to our experienced switchboard builder sparkies. We have designed and built all the switchboards shown throughout our website, so if you need to call on some switchboard experience or advice, feel free to contact us.

Tips on how to make your outdoor switchboard last longer.
Non-metallic outdoor switchboards in New Zealand get a bad rap for not being able to withstand the harsh U.V rays. But, when a switchboard is made with the right composites, and in the right configuration, an NZ U.V rated polycarbonate switchboard should see out at least 5 years of outdoor service. Read on to find out what else can affect the longevity of a polycarbonate enclosure.

Chemical resistance of thermoplastic enclosures is determined by its ability to sustain mechanical integrity while being exposed to specific chemicals. Obviously, temperature, chemical concentration, level of mechanical stress, and duration of exposure are variables that can greatly influence the performance of an enclosure in a particular application.

Get to know the Cubo P System and how it works.
If you are looking for a versatile, expandable, waterproof, durable switchboard system, look no further than the Cubo P range. Designed around a series of bases with open sides, this system allows you to create numerous configurations to best suit your application. Read on to learn the nuances of Cubo P and perhaps get some ideas for that tricky job you haven’t quite figured out yet. Please give us a call if you need any help with designing a switchboard using Cubo P, or understanding how the parts work together.

All thermoplastic enclosures we stock are manufactured using high-quality, halogen-free, and recyclable polycarbonate or ABS plastic. Although plastic is much lighter than steel, it has very high impact- resistance, in addition, any dents or bumps are not as noticeable in plastic as they would be with steel. Thermoplastic is also easier to machine, maintain, and alter than steel or aluminium enclosures with similar impact and chemical resistances.

IK rating, which is the international standard for determining how well electrical enclosures protect against external mechanical impact. The higher the IK rating is, the better impact resistance it has. Typically, industrial grade enclosures require IK rating from IK06 up to IK10.
