Distribution Board Eti-Polam ECT12PO 12M IP40 surface-mounted with white door

The Eti-Polam ECT12PO surface-mounted distribution board is designed to house up to 12 modular DIN-rail devices in a compact wall-mounted enclosure. With IP40 protection and a white front door, the unit provides basic protection against solid objects while allowing easy access to circuit breakers and other control devices. The enclosure is suitable for residential and small commercial electrical installations where a neat, space-efficient consumer unit is required.

Advantages

The distribution board offers a compact footprint and a standard 12-module capacity, allowing straightforward installation of miniature circuit breakers, residual current devices and other DIN-rail mounted components. The white door conceals wiring and devices for a tidy appearance and provides simple access for maintenance. IP40 protection ensures protection against larger solid objects while keeping the internal equipment accessible in normal indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Housing residential circuit breakers and DIN-rail devices in homes and flats
• Small commercial premises requiring a compact wall-mounted consumer unit
• Renovation projects where a surface-mounted enclosure avoids in-wall modification
• Temporary or workshop installations where quick, visible access is needed

When it may not be suitable

This distribution board provides IP40 protection, which is intended for indoor installations where only protection from solid objects is required; it is not suitable for outdoor use or damp locations where higher ingress protection is necessary. For larger installations or projects that require more than 12 modules, a larger or multi-row enclosure will be needed.

Key specifications

• Mounting type: surface-mounted
• Module capacity: 12 DIN modules
• Protection rating: IP40
• Door: white front door for access and concealment
• Intended devices: DIN-rail mounted circuit breakers and control modules

How to use

Install the distribution board on a suitable indoor wall using appropriate fixings for the wall material. Ensure the enclosure is mounted level and at a height that allows safe access to the breakers. Fit DIN-rail devices such as miniature circuit breakers and RCDs to the rail, route and secure conductors through the provided knockouts or cable entries, and terminate wiring according to local electrical codes. Close the white door after wiring is complete to keep the installation tidy and protected.

What to consider before purchase

• Required number of modules and whether 12-module capacity is sufficient
• Installation location suitability — indoor, dry environment due to IP40 rating
• Compatibility with planned DIN-rail devices and accessory space for busbars or neutral/earth terminals
• Mounting surface and available clearance for a surface-mounted unit

Usage recommendations

Plan the layout of breakers and protective devices before installation, leave space for future expansion if possible, and follow local wiring regulations. Use the white door to keep the distribution board visually unobtrusive in living or commercial spaces and perform periodic inspections to ensure terminals remain secure.
