Distribution box ELEKTROPLAST Elegant surface-mounted modular 1x12 modules IP40 298x198x96 mm

Surface-mounted modular distribution box ELEKTROPLAST Elegant designed for 1 row of 12 DIN modules. With compact external dimensions of 298 x 198 x 96 mm and an IP40 protection rating, this enclosure is intended for indoor electrical installations where organized mounting of circuit breakers, residual-current devices and terminal blocks is required. The box provides a tidy layout for wiring, convenient front access for maintenance and a secure surface-mounted attachment method suitable for residential and light commercial panels.

Advantages

The ELEKTROPLAST Elegant distribution box combines compact size with a standard modular layout to simplify installation and panel assembly. Its IP40 protection rating protects internal components from solid objects while allowing appropriate ventilation for enclosed electrical equipment. The surface-mounted design eliminates the need for wall recessing, enabling faster installation and easier retrofitting. The enclosure material and construction ensure stable mounting of DIN-rail modules and predictable alignment of breakers and terminals.

Suitable for

• Indoor residential electrical panels and meter rooms
• Small commercial installations and office electrical distribution
• Retrofit projects where surface mounting is preferred
• Housing of circuit breakers, RCDs and terminal blocks in a single-row configuration

Key specifications

• Mounting type: surface-mounted cabinet for modular DIN devices
• Module capacity: 1 row × 12 modules (standard DIN width)
• External dimensions: 298 × 198 × 96 mm
• Protection rating: IP40 (indoor use, protection against solid objects >1 mm)
• Material: durable non-conductive enclosure suitable for electrical installations
• Access: front opening for maintenance and module replacement

How to use

Mount the distribution box on a stable vertical surface using appropriate fasteners for the wall material, ensuring the cabinet is level. Install a standard DIN rail inside the enclosure and secure circuit breakers, RCDs and terminal blocks according to the required electrical schema, leaving adequate space for wiring. Connect incoming and outgoing conductors using appropriate cable glands or knockouts as provided, and observe local wiring regulations and safety standards. Close the front cover after completing installation and verify proper operation of all protective devices.

Usage recommendations

Use the box in dry, indoor environments only. Do not expose the enclosure to direct water spray or outdoor conditions beyond IP40 limits. Ensure all work is performed by a qualified electrician and that the panel is de-energized during installation and maintenance. Select breakers and RCDs compatible with the single-row 12-module layout and follow manufacturer torque and mounting guidelines for reliable operation.
