Modular distribution board ELEKTROPLAST RM 7S 1x7 surface-mounted IP30 model 6.1

ELEKTROPLAST RM 7S 1x7 surface-mounted IP30 model 6.1 is a modular distribution board designed to house up to seven DIN-rail mounted devices. Intended for residential and light-commercial electrical installations, this compact enclosure provides organized space for circuit breakers, surge protection devices, residual current devices, and auxiliary modules. Its surface-mounted design makes it suitable for retrofits and locations where flush mounting is not feasible.

Advantages

The enclosure supports one row of up to seven standard DIN modules, simplifying the layout of protective and control equipment in a small panel. Its IP30 rating offers basic protection against solid objects, helping to prevent accidental contact with live parts. The surface-mounted form factor allows for quick installation on walls without the need for recessed boxes, and the modular interior lets installers change or expand circuits with minimal modification.

Suitable for

• Small residential electrical panels and apartment units
• Light commercial or office installations with limited module count
• Retrofit projects where surface mounting is required
• Organizing circuit breakers, RCDs and small control devices in a compact enclosure

When it may not be suitable

This distribution board is not intended for outdoor use or locations requiring higher ingress protection; IP30 does not provide protection against moisture or heavy dust. It is also unsuitable for installations that require more than seven DIN modules per row or where a multi-row distribution board is necessary for complex or large-capacity electrical systems.

Key specifications

• Mounting type: Surface-mounted enclosure
• Module capacity: 1 row × up to 7 DIN modules
• Ingress protection: IP30 (basic protection against solid objects)
• Application: Residential and light-commercial internal electrical installations
• Construction: Modular body designed for DIN-rail mounted devices

How to use

Install the enclosure on a suitable flat vertical surface using appropriate fasteners for the substrate. Fit a standard DIN rail inside the cabinet if not preinstalled, then mount circuit breakers, RCDs, and other DIN-compatible modules according to circuit design and local wiring regulations. Ensure all conductors are sized and terminated correctly, and verify protection devices are positioned for safe access and maintenance. After wiring, close the cover and secure any screws or latches to prevent accidental opening.

What to consider before purchase

• Required number and type of DIN modules to ensure capacity meets current and future needs
• Location conditions—verify indoor use only and that IP30 is sufficient
• Mounting surface and available space for surface-mounted installation
• Compatibility with chosen protective devices (size and DIN-rail mounting)

Usage recommendations

Follow local electrical codes and safety standards when installing and wiring the distribution board. Use appropriately rated protective devices and ensure clear labeling of circuits to facilitate maintenance. For environments with moisture or dust exposure, select a distribution board with higher IP rating.
