The Dorman Smith Modis 25 modular distribution switchboards and associated devices are now available with a 3200A rating. The innovative and cost-effective Modis concept combines an effective and compact switchboard system with a space-saving, high stacking density and provides a complete solution for almost all practical switchboard system applications.

Benefiting from its modular design and construction, Modis switchboard systems are extendable and easily modified, ASTA certified, fully type-tested in accordance with EN60439-1:1999 and include Form 4b Type 2 or Type 6, as standard. Horizontal busbars from 1250A up to 3200A are available as well as a wide range of busbar fault withstand options up to 80kA for 1 second.

The ‘pallet to Power Room’ slogan is another highlight of the self-assembly Modis switchboard range. Reverse-packed into a series of ‘collared boxes’ and shipped as a flat-pack kit on a pallet, each switchboard can be quickly and easily assembled with the help of a comprehensive build documentation.

Modis switchboard systems integrate world-class components from Tyco Electronics’ product portfolio. These include Dorman Smith circuit breakers and fuse combination units, Crompton Instruments metering instrumentation and Bowthorpe EMP surge suppression units. Third-party equipment, for example capacitors for power factor correction, can also be accommodated.

With a strong emphasis on quality and design, Modis switchboards have found acceptance in numerous prestigious local and global contracts.
