Plastic distribution box noark PT 36M 3x12M 460x273x68

Noark PT 36M is a plastic distribution box designed for electrical installations that require three rows of modular equipment. The enclosure provides 3x12M spaces for circuit breakers and DIN-rail mounted devices in a compact footprint of 460x273x68 mm, suitable for residential and light commercial distribution panels. The box organizes and protects wiring and protective devices while allowing straightforward installation and access for maintenance.

Advantages

The plastic housing is lightweight, corrosion-resistant and electrically insulating, which simplifies handling and reduces the need for grounding compared with metallic enclosures. The 3x12M configuration offers flexible circuit distribution and clear separation of circuits across three rows, while the standardized DIN-rail mounting enables compatibility with common modular breakers, RCDs and terminal blocks. The shallow depth helps install the unit in limited-wall or service-cupboard spaces without excessive protrusion.

Suitable for

• Residential apartment distribution boards and sub-distribution panels
• Light commercial or small office electrical installations
• Retrofit projects where a compact, surface-mounted panel is required
• Installations using standard DIN-rail modular circuit breakers and protection devices

When it may not be suitable

This plastic distribution box is not intended for outdoor use or locations exposed to direct weather unless additional protective measures are provided. It is also unsuitable for installations requiring large numbers of circuits beyond the available 36 modular positions or for applications needing metal enclosures for specific mechanical strength or electromagnetic shielding.

Key specifications

• Enclosure material: plastic (electrically insulating, corrosion-resistant)
• Modular spaces: 3 rows × 12 modules each (3x12M), total 36M
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible for modular devices
• External dimensions: 460 × 273 × 68 mm
• Installation type: surface-mounted wall installation

How to use

Mount the distribution box on a firm, level surface using appropriate fasteners for the substrate. Fit standard DIN-rail components such as circuit breakers, residual current devices and terminal blocks into the modular positions and route incoming and outgoing conductors through the provided entry points or knockouts. Ensure all connections are made according to local wiring regulations and that protective devices are sized for the circuit. After wiring, secure the cover to retain protection and label each circuit for easier identification and maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Number of required modular positions — total 36M may limit future expansion
• Indoor use only unless additional weatherproofing is applied
• Compatibility with chosen DIN-rail devices and breaker widths
• Available mounting depth and surface for the 460×273×68 mm enclosure

Usage recommendations

Use the Noark PT 36M in indoor distribution applications where a compact, corrosion-free enclosure and standard DIN-rail compatibility are required. Verify circuit planning before installation to ensure the 3x12M layout meets current and future needs, and follow applicable electrical codes during mounting and wiring.
