Surface-mounted distribution box ELEKTROPLAST 4.1 with grounding and neutral pole, IP40

Surface-mounted distribution box ELEKTROPLAST 4.1 with grounding and neutral pole, IP40 is a compact enclosure designed to organize and protect electrical circuit components in surface installations. The unit provides a dedicated neutral terminal and a built-in grounding point, allowing neat connection of protective devices, busbars and incoming/outgoing cables. Its IP40 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm, making it suitable for indoor residential and light commercial electrical distribution where the box may be mounted on walls or other surfaces.

Advantages

The enclosure integrates a clearly marked neutral pole and a grounding terminal, simplifying conductor termination and reducing installation time. Its compact surface-mounted design enables installation where recessed mounting is impractical. The IP40 protection level affords basic dust protection and prevents accidental contact with live parts when the lid is closed. The product's neutral and earth provision supports standardized wiring layouts and organized distribution of circuits.

Suitable for

• Indoor residential electrical distribution (apartments, houses)
• Light commercial installations (offices, small shops)
• Surface-mounted breaker and busbar assemblies where recessed boxes are not available
• Retrofit projects and utility rooms with limited wall cavity

Key specifications

• Mounting type: surface-mounted enclosure
• Ingress protection: IP40 (protection from solid objects >1 mm)
• Built-in grounding terminal for protective earth connections
• Designated neutral pole for organized neutral conductor terminations
• Enclosure material: durable insulating plastic suitable for electrical housings
• Capacity: designed to accommodate standard DIN-rail mounted protective devices and busbars (check device dimensions before installation)

How to use

Install the distribution box on a flat, stable surface using appropriate fixings for the substrate. Mount DIN-rail components and busbars inside the enclosure, then route incoming and outgoing conductors through the provided entry points. Terminate neutral conductors on the designated neutral pole and connect protective earth conductors to the grounding terminal. Verify clearances and secure the lid so that live parts are not exposed. Follow applicable wiring regulations and switch off supply before installation or maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use the enclosure indoors only and maintain access for inspection and maintenance. Ensure protective devices and conductors used are compatible with the enclosure dimensions and rated for the intended load. For safety and code compliance, final installation should follow local electrical standards and, where required, be performed by a qualified electrician.
