KE Brown IsoSafe Distribution Board

The KEB IsoSafe Distribution Board enables individual circuits to be safely isolated from the main system in accordance with the latest Wiring Rules, without affecting other circuits governing functions like data processing, automation, process control and essential services. This avoids having to close down an entire switchboard, involving scores of circuits when only one circuit needs to be worked on, to add, inspect, change or replace equipment.

The technology is particularly important to applications where minimising downtime is vital, including banks, data centres, hospitals, telcos, manufacturing plants and other companies where continuity of supply is critical.

Safety and flexibility is provided by using a Schneider Electric Isobar chassis that enables maintenance staff to disconnect and reconnect particular functions without disrupting the entire network. A disconnectable neutral terminal also allows operators to isolate the active and neutral when working on individual circuits.

The switchboard is available in 12- to 72-pole sizes and can be fitted with Schneider Electric RCDs. It includes an Isobar chassis, a main circuit-breaker or isolator, circuit-breaker terminal covers, numbered neutral and earth connections located directly opposite each circuit-breaker and a cable management system that allows open access to cables while retaining them in tidy groups.
