Elbow Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi all, I want to try to finish building my sub-board for my inverter. I have about 300mm of space to the left of my main board - but I will need more than 12 spaces. So I'm looking for a good quality but not over-expensive surface mount DB with 2 rows. Veti (Major-tech) sells this one for R459: So these DBs are definitely on the cheap side - but this would work size wise and the 12 way I used at the inverter looks neat. I found also this Hager one - VS212TF, This is the "Golf" range - not sure how much it costs and where to get it in Cape Town: Are there other options I should look for - I looked at Schneider but the prices seemed to be very high. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I recall it was on the other side of R600. ElectroMechanika lists it for around R550 ex VAT. Considering what some of the other brands sell for, this is actually not too bad... and the frustration with stupid short earth/neutral bars and dumb things like that when you do go cheaper is just not worth it.

Looks like you cut out the back and fitted it over the top of the recess for your old board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I did... 3 phase comes in the back. I needed to have DIN for all my new stuff but keep Samite for the old bits (top layer). Worked well for what I needed to do and I'm glad I went 3 and not 2 layer. Lots of space for future bits ___ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like each is fed by a different phase from the grid side. Is this so you have finer control over which loads are on the inverter, or just to avoid a 3 phase changeover switch?

Mark Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Finer control - definitely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbrownbear Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 http://new.abb.com/low-voltage/products/system-pro-e/system-pro-e-comfort We sell these boxes, works a treat.. They are a bit pricy but also IP65 rated. IP41 surface mount version is cheaper but we don`t keep them in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
