Modular surface-mounted distribution box ELEKTROPLAST EP-Lux Plus RN 1/13 IP55 N+PE (1954-01)

Surface-mounted modular distribution box ELEKTROPLAST EP-Lux Plus RN 1/13 IP55 N+PE is an enclosure designed to hold up to 13 DIN-rail mounted modules including circuit breakers and protective devices, with integrated neutral (N) and protective earth (PE) terminals. The box is intended for surface installation and provides IP55 ingress protection, offering resistance to dust and water jets for use in indoor and sheltered outdoor locations where a compact, sealed electrical panel is required.

Advantages

The enclosure features a sealed design that meets IP55 protection, reducing the risk of dust penetration and water jet ingress. Integrated N and PE terminal blocks simplify wiring and grounding. The surface-mounted format makes installation straightforward on walls or panels without the need for recessing. The unit accommodates modular DIN-rail devices up to 13 modules wide, enabling compact circuit organization and straightforward expansion when additional protection devices are required.

Suitable for

• Small residential distribution boards for single-family homes and apartments
• Auxiliary distribution in workshops, garages, and utility rooms
• Protected outdoor installations such as porches, service cabinets, or sheltered terraces
• Temporary or retrofit installations where surface mounting is preferred

Key specifications

• Mounting type: surface-mounted enclosure designed for wall attachment
• Module capacity: fits up to 13 DIN-rail mounted modular devices
• Protection rating: IP55 against dust and water jets
• Terminals: built-in neutral (N) and protective earth (PE) terminal blocks
• Enclosure use: suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor applications

How to use

Mount the distribution box on a flat vertical surface using appropriate fasteners for the substrate and ensure the enclosure is level. Install a DIN rail inside the box if not pre-fitted, then clip in the modular devices such as circuit breakers, RCDs, or surge protectors up to the 13-module capacity. Connect incoming supply conductors to the appropriate terminals, and use the integrated N and PE blocks for neutral and earth connections. After wiring, secure the cover to maintain the IP55 seal and verify conductors and protective devices are correctly connected before energizing the circuit.

Usage recommendations

For reliable protection and longevity, install the enclosure in locations sheltered from direct exposure to heavy rain and prolonged UV exposure; ensure cable entry points are sealed and use compatible gland fittings where required. Verify that the selected modular devices do not exceed the rated space and follow local electrical codes and regulations during installation and commissioning.
