Recessed Distribution Board Eti-Polam ECM12PO 12M IP40, white door

Eti-Polam ECM12PO recessed distribution board is designed for indoor electrical installations that require a neat, concealed housing for circuit breakers and DIN-rail mounted devices. The enclosure accommodates up to 12 modules and features an IP40 protection rating with a white door, making it suitable for standard residential or light commercial wiring layouts where basic mechanical and contact protection is needed.

Advantages

The recessed design allows the distribution board to be flush-mounted within walls, reducing visual impact and saving space. With a capacity for 12 modules and DIN-rail compatibility, the unit supports common circuit breakers and auxiliary devices used in small installations. The IP40 protection provides protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and accidental contact while the white door offers a neutral appearance that integrates into most interior environments.

Suitable for

• Residential apartment or house electrical distribution for up to 12 modules
• Small commercial premises with basic distribution needs
• Replacing or upgrading surface-mounted boards to a recessed solution
• Indoor installations with standard wiring schemes and DIN-rail components

When it may not be suitable

This distribution board is not intended for outdoor use or environments requiring higher degrees of ingress protection, such as IP65-rated enclosures for wet or dusty locations. It is also not designed for large installations that require more than 12 modules or specialized enclosures with built-in surge protection, metering, or heavy industrial ratings.

Key specifications

• Mounting type: recessed (flush) wall mounting
• Module capacity: 12 DIN modules
• Protection rating: IP40 (indoor use, protection against solid objects & accidental contact)
• Door: white, opaque
• Intended equipment: DIN-rail mounted circuit breakers and accessories
• Application: residential and light commercial electrical distribution

How to use

Install the recessed distribution board in a prepared wall cavity following local electrical codes and mounting instructions. Secure the enclosure within the wall, ensure the DIN rail is properly fitted, and mount compatible circuit breakers and protective devices. Route the incoming and outgoing conductors through the provided knockouts or openings, make proper terminations, and fit the white door once wiring and testing are complete. All electrical work should be performed or inspected by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with safety standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 12 module capacity meets current and expected future circuit requirements
• Verify indoor installation location and wall cavity depth for recessed mounting
• Ensure the IP40 rating is adequate for the intended environment (not suitable for wet or dusty areas)
• Check compatibility with the specific DIN-rail devices and breaker widths you plan to install

Usage recommendations

For safe and reliable operation, have a licensed electrician install and commission the board, use appropriately rated breakers and wiring, and follow local regulations for earthing and protective device coordination. Regular visual inspection and testing of protective devices are recommended as part of routine maintenance.
