Modular surface-mounted distribution board ELEKTROPLAST RN-24/B Fala 2x12 modules IP40 with N+PE (7.15)

ELEKTROPLAST RN-24/B Fala 2x12 modules IP40 with N+PE (7.15) is a modular surface-mounted distribution board designed for residential and light-commercial electrical installations. It houses up to 24 standard DIN-modules arranged as 2 rows of 12 modules each, provides IP40 protection against solid objects, and includes dedicated terminals for neutral (N) and protective earth (PE). The enclosure accepts common miniature circuit breakers, residual current devices and other modular devices to create organized circuit distribution.

Advantages

The RN-24/B Fala offers a compact, surface-mounted design that simplifies installation in spaces where a recessed cabinet is not feasible. Its two-row 12-module layout allows clear separation and grouping of circuits, while the IP40 rating ensures basic protection in indoor environments. Integrated N and PE terminals reduce on-site wiring time and support tidy earthing and neutral arrangements. The product is compatible with standard DIN-rail modular devices, facilitating upgrades or changes to circuit configuration.

Suitable for

• Residential apartment or single-family home electrical distribution
• Small offices, retail units or light-commercial premises
• Surface mounting where wall depth is limited or flush mounting is impractical
• Installations requiring separation of multiple circuits (lighting, sockets, appliances)

When it may not be suitable

This distribution board provides IP40 protection, which is intended for indoor use and does not offer dust-tight or water-resistant performance; it may not be appropriate for damp, outdoor, or industrial environments that require higher IP ratings. The 24-module capacity may be insufficient for larger installations that require more circuits or dedicated space for auxiliary devices such as busbars or large protection equipment.

Key specifications

• Module capacity: 24 DIN modules (2 rows x 12 modules)
• Mounting type: surface-mounted enclosure
• Protection rating: IP40 (indoor use)
• Terminals: integrated neutral (N) and protective earth (PE)
• Compatible devices: standard DIN-rail miniature circuit breakers and modular devices
• Typical applications: residential and light-commercial electrical distribution

How to use

Mount the RN-24/B Fala on a stable vertical surface using appropriate fixings for the wall material. Install a standard DIN rail inside the enclosure if not pre-fitted, then clip modular protection devices such as circuit breakers and RCDs onto the rail at the required positions. Connect phase conductors to the line terminals of individual devices, and use the integrated N and PE terminals to terminate neutral and earth conductors. Ensure all wiring is performed with the supply isolated and in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations.

What to consider before purchase

• Required number of modules: confirm 24-module capacity meets current and future circuit needs
• Installation environment: IP40 is suitable for indoor, dry locations only
• Compatibility with chosen DIN-rail devices (breaker width and mounting type)
• Space for cable entry and routing when surface-mounted on the chosen wall

Usage recommendations

For safe and compliant installation, perform mounting and wiring according to local regulations and, where required, have work completed or inspected by a qualified electrician. Plan circuit layout ahead of installation to optimize module use and label circuits for future maintenance. Use appropriate cable glands or conduit for surface-mounted entries to maintain neat cable routing.
