ALPHA SIMBOX Small Distribution Boards
SIMBOX 63
■
Overview
• Small distribution boards for modular installation devices with mounting depths of 55 mm and from 55 mm to 70 mm
• Modular width 1 MW r 18 mm
• Cut-out height in the cover for shock protection: 45 mm

Benefits
• Simple cable entry due to the plug-in and latching sliding flange
• Fast wiring through N/PE plug-in terminals (in flush mounting and hollow-wall distribution boards for modular installation devices up to a mounting depth or 70 mm) and tried and test strain-relief clamping terminals (remaining small distribution boards of the SIMBOX 63 range)
• Convenient cable routing thanks to the wiring space that has been expanded to 12 mm in versions of the modular devices with a mounting depth of up to 70 mm
• The modern design of the steel sheet door and its handle enable fast concealed lock installation
• High mechanical strength due to
- raised masking frame,
- double-layer wall-recessed boxes made of impact-resistant plastic and
- electrogalvanized steel sheet doors and masking frames with powder coating
• Masking frames provide flush mounting flexibility of up to
22 mm
• Standard mounting rails can be fitted in the wall-recessed box before installation
■
Application
Small distribution boards are suitable as sub-distribution boards or floor panel boards for all applications in electrical building installations. Due to their small mounting depth, they can be installed close to the respective load center in residential and nonresidential buildings, as well as in schools, commercial buildings and shops.
Standards
SIMBOX 63 small distribution boards comply with
DIN VDE 0603, DIN 43871 and EN 60439-3.

Equipment
The distribution boards can be equipped with modular installation devices, such as MCBs and RCCBs, up to a mounting depth of 55 mm or 70 mm with mountings for snapping onto the 35 mm x 7.5 mm standard mounting rails according to EN 60715.
Each tier can be fitted with devices up to 12 modular widths. For the 3 and 4-tier versions, the upper and lower tier can be extended to 13 modular widths by cutting out the knockouts in the shock protection cover.
