High-Quality Surface Mount Switchboards
MJS Electrical Supplies provides a solid selection of surface mount switchboards, all designed for safety, durability, and easy installation. Perfect for residential, commercial, and industrial applications where a flush mount installation is not feasible, these enclosures are fixed directly onto the wall's surface. Our range offers durable solutions that protect critical electrical components, while still providing easy access for maintenance and circuit identification. Explore our extensive collection of electrical Switchboards to find the perfect fit for your project requirements.
Selecting Your Surface Mount Switchboard
You know how they say ‘Measure twice, cut once’? Electrical works are no exception. Choosing the correct size switchboard is the crucial first step for any installation. Our inventory is tailored to meet your project’s unique needs, offering a wide array of pole configurations, from compact 4-pole boards to expansive 36-pole models. This ensures you can find the perfect enclosure, whether you're working on a small domestic shed or a large commercial system.
Our range includes options for every scale:
- Small-Scale Applications: For minor installations like granny flats, sheds, or basic residential circuits, we offer smaller boards, including 4, 8, and the popular 12 pole surface mount switchboard. These provide a neat and secure housing for essential circuits.
- Standard Residential & Commercial Use: The mid-range sizes, such as 18-pole and the versatile 24 pole surface mount switchboard, are ideal for standard family homes and small commercial spaces. They provide ample room for modern electrical demands like air conditioning, pool equipment, and dedicated appliance circuits.
- Large & Complex Systems: For larger homes, multi-dwelling units, or light industrial applications, the 36 pole surface mount switchboard is an excellent choice. This larger board offers extensive capacity for numerous circuits, safety switches, and surge protection devices, future-proofing the installation for potential expansion.
Enclosure and Circuit Identification
Proper organisation within your switchboard is the easiest way to deliver both safety and efficiency. Our surface mount switchboards are designed for clear circuit identification, featuring label sheets or designated spaces to mark each circuit breaker. This simplifies fault-finding and maintenance for electricians. For outdoor installations or when the electricity meter needs to be housed separately, consider our durable Meter Boxes, which provide excellent protection from the harsh Aussie elements.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a surface mount switchboard?
A surface mount switchboard is an electrical enclosure that’s mounted directly onto the exterior of a wall. Unlike flush mount boards that sit inside the wall cavity, these are used when wall penetration is not possible or practical, making installation simpler and faster.
2. How do I know what size switchboard I need?
The required size depends on the number of electrical circuits your property needs. A licensed electrician can perform a load calculation to determine the necessary number of poles. We offer a wide range, from 4 poles for small jobs up to a 36 pole surface mount switchboard for larger applications, with common sizes like the 12 pole and 24 pole surface mount switchboard for typical residential use.
3. Are surface mount switchboards weatherproof?
Many surface mount switchboards are designed with an IP (Ingress Protection) rating, which indicates their level of protection against dust and water. It's very important to select a switchboard with an appropriate IP rating for its intended environment, especially for outdoor or wet area installations.
4. Why is circuit identification important?
Clear circuit identification is a safety requirement under Australian standards. It allows electricians and homeowners to quickly identify which switch controls which circuit, which is vital for isolating power during maintenance, an emergency, or when troubleshooting faults.
5. Can I install a surface mount switchboard myself?
No. In Australia, all electrical work involving switchboards must be performed by a licensed electrician. This is to ensure that the installation complies with safety regulations and the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules, guaranteeing the safety of your property and its occupants.
