HARTING Electric box (breaker panel)
When you’re sourcing distribution boards, switchgear enclosures, modular panels or consumer units, the choice of enclosure defines everything that follows: wiring layout, heat dissipation, access, maintenance. HARTING distribution boards and enclosures bring a system-based approach—durable materials, modular design, compatibility across components. In practice, you’ll usually see HARTING electrical enclosures in control rooms, machine bases, switchgear cubicles and commercial-building distribution areas.
What Your Specification Should Cover
From experience, the key parameters you should check when evaluating HARTING distribution boards and modular panels are:
- Material and rating: standard sheet steel vs stainless or aluminum; required IK/impact rating, protection rating (IP54, IP65) depending on indoor or outdoor location.
- Modularity and flexibility: ability to reconfigure modules, add DIN-rail mounting, adapt to future expansions. HARTING’s modular panels support standard layouts and future-expansion slots.
- Thermal and cable management: adequate internal space, ventilation, cable entry glands and fixed knock-outs. Poor enclosure choice often leads to wiring congestion and heat problems.
- Access and maintenance: hinges, removable panels, locking, and ease of wiring changes. When you choose HARTING, the enclosure system has been engineered for maintenance-friendly access.
HARTING Consumer Units & Modular Panels
For smaller installations—office floors, tenant sub-distribution, light industrial—HARTING consumer units and modular panels provide structured compartments: breakers, SPD (surge protection devices), metering all in one frame. A typical configuration might be a 2-row panel, pre-mounted rails, labelled terminal blocks ready for field wiring.
For procurement, standardising on a few panel sizes (e.g., 12-module, 24-module, 48-module) covers most projects and simplifies stock. You’ll avoid the “custom one-off” panel that sits in the warehouse unused.
HARTING Switchgear Enclosures & Configuration Boards
In larger installations—plant-rooms, data centres, factory mains—the enclosure becomes the backbone of serviceability. HARTING switchgear enclosures are built to house feeders, busbars, large breakers, cable trunking and monitoring hardware. They include considerations like tap-off compartments, busbar mounting, labelling, cable access from bottom/top.
From experience you’ll find that if you specify the correct board early and stick to a standard series, commissioning goes faster, wiring personnel know what to expect, and future expansions go smoother.
Buying Logic for Wholesale Procurement
When ordering HARTING distribution boards and enclosures in bulk, here are practical guidelines:
- Stock standard sizes: order the most commonly reused formats (for example 48-module 2-row panel, 72-module 3-row panel).
- Choose material variants: keep one indoor steel version, one outdoor IP65 version to cover most environments.
- Include accessories: blanking plates, mounting brackets, cable entry kits, internal rails all matter. Bundling them reduces missing-part delays.
- Stock for future flexibility: modules should allow additions; you’ll avoid buying new enclosure every time the load grows.
- Manage logistics: enclosures are bulky. Consolidated shipments from one supplier (Bank of Lamps) reduce freight cost, customs complexity, and lead-time.
- Ensure documentation: datasheets, CE certification, wiring diagrams—all must accompany each SKU to support large contracts and compliance audits.
Why HARTING Enclosure Systems Make Sense for Projects
Choosing HARTING means fewer surprises. Installers don’t struggle with odd panel dimensions, custom wiring duct is pre-planned, mounting and labelling logic is uniform. For procurement you benefit from a coherent enclosure ecosystem: standard modules across jobs, simplified spare-part logic, faster installation times. From experience, such standardisation pays off in lower labour cost, fewer errors and more predictable rollout schedules.
