Distribution Box ELEKTROPLAST ECONOMIC BOX1X8 PE+N SURF IP40 Smoked — 1x8 module surface-mounted N+PE

ELEKTROPLAST ECONOMIC BOX1X8 PE+N SURF IP40 Smoked is a surface-mounted distribution box designed for indoor electric installations requiring a compact 1x8 DIN-module configuration. The unit features a smoked transparent cover that allows visual inspection of installed devices without opening the enclosure, and it includes separate neutral (N) and protective earth (PE) terminals. The IP40 rating provides basic protection against solid objects and is intended for dry, indoor environments such as homes, apartments, or light commercial spaces.

Advantages

The distribution box offers a compact footprint for mounting up to eight DIN-modular devices in a single row, simplifying circuit organization in small installations. The smoked transparent cover combines protection with visibility, enabling quick visual checks while maintaining a tidy appearance. Separate N and PE terminals reduce wiring errors and make it easier to connect incoming and outgoing conductors. Surface-mount design allows installation on walls without recessed wiring, which is useful for retrofit or renovation projects.

Suitable for

• Domestic electrical distribution in houses and apartments
• Light commercial or office circuits with moderate device counts
• Retrofit installations where surface-mounted enclosures are preferred
• Mounting of circuit breakers, residual current devices and other DIN-rail modular devices up to 1x8 modules

When it may not be suitable

This enclosure is intended for indoor use in dry environments and provides IP40 protection; it is not suitable for outdoor locations or areas exposed to water or heavy dust. The 1x8 module capacity is limited for larger electrical distributions or installations that require multiple rows of devices or higher device density.

Key specifications

• Mounting type: Surface-mounted
• Module capacity: 1 row x 8 DIN modules
• Cover: Smoked transparent cover for visual inspection
• Terminals: Separate neutral (N) and protective earth (PE) terminals
• Protection rating: IP40 (suitable for indoor, dry environments)
• Intended use: Mounting of modular DIN-rail devices (breakers, RCDs, etc.)

How to use

Mount the distribution box securely to a flat wall surface using appropriate fixings for the wall material. Route incoming supply and outgoing circuit cables into the enclosure via the provided knockouts or cable entries, following local wiring regulations. Install DIN-rail modular devices into the single row of rails, ensuring each device fits within the 1x8 module space, and connect conductors to the separate N and PE terminals and the device terminals. After wiring, close the smoked transparent cover to protect the devices while allowing visual inspection. Commission the circuits only after verifying correct connections and compliance with applicable electrical safety standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that 1x8 module capacity meets current and planned device requirements
• Confirm indoor installation location and that IP40 protection is adequate
• Ensure wall type and available space are suitable for surface mounting
• Check compatibility of intended DIN-rail devices (width in modules) with a single-row enclosure

Usage recommendations

For safe and reliable installation, follow local electrical codes, use appropriately rated circuit breakers and protective devices, and consider professional installation where required. Keep the enclosure in a dry indoor location and avoid exposure to liquids or heavy dust to maintain IP40 protection effectiveness.
