Switchboard: A distribution switchboard is divided A distribution switchboard is divided
into a number of functional units, each comprising all the electrical and mechanical elements thatand mechanical elements that contribute to the fulfillment of a given function. It represents a key li k i th d d bilit h ilink in the dependability chain.
Distribution switchboards are Distribution switchboards are critical to the dependability of an electrical installation. They must comply with well-defined standards Picture: Switchboard panel with open-type comply with well-defined standards governing the design and construction of LV switchgear assemblies

Switchboard Parameters:
Rated Operational Voltage (Ue) : This is the maximum continuous voltage at which equipment may be used.
Rated Insulation Voltage (Ui) : The highest operating voltage that will not cause a dielectric strength failure. The rated insulation voltage is used as a parameter for dielectric strength tests and forvoltage is used as a parameter for dielectric strength tests and for the creepage distance. The rated insulation voltage must always be higher than the rated operating voltage (Ue).
Rated Impulse Voltage (Uimp) : The peak value of an impulse voltage of which the circuit of an assembly is capable of withstanding without failurewithstanding without failure.
Rated current (In) : Maximum current that the device can carry continuously without abnormal temperature risecontinuously without abnormal temperature rise.

Switchboard Parameters:
Rated short time withstand current (Icw) : Maximum short time withstand current that the equipment can carry without damage.
Rated Peak withstand current (Ipk) : The rated peak withstand current of a circuit of an assembly is the value of peak currentcurrent of a circuit of an assembly is the value of peak current assigned to that circuit by the manufacturer which that circuit can withstand satisfactorily.
Rated short-circuit making capacity (Icm) Maximum current (peak) a device can make at its rated voltage according to the (p ) g gconditions of standard. Devices without protection like switches, must be able to withstand short-circuit current with a value & duration resulting from action of the associated protection device.duration resulting from action of the associated protection device.

Technology in Switchboard
Traditional distribution switchboards: Switchgear and fuse gear, etc. are normally located on a chassis at the rear of the enclosure. Required careful designing having knowledge of dimension of all components. (Example: Universal Enclosure panels)p )
Functional distribution switchboards: Made up of functional d l th t i l d it h d i t th ithmodules that include switchgear devices together with
standardized accessories for mounting & connections, ensuring a high level of reliability & a great capacity for last-minute and future changes.
