Our switchboard design and construction is state-of-the-art and complies with all applicable Federal, UL and NEC specifications, as well as all U.S. utility requirements. Enclosures are constructed of heavy duty steel, and metering current transformer compartments can be customized to meet your utility requirements with hinged door and secure latch for utility company sealing. Metering current transformer compartments can be ahead of (Hot Metering), or after the main disconnect (Cold Metering). Potential transformer provision for complex metering is available. Park can also provide additive or subtractive metering designs. Top or bottom feed lug landings or bus heads to terminate in NEMA type spades are standard designs. Bus risers can be made with bends to pass around obstacles, go straight up, take a 90 degree bend to go through a wall, etc. The bus can go out the back of the switchboard through a wall, and then covered by a bus head enclosure to terminate with underground feeds, outside the building. Park can also hard bus from the transformer spades into the switchboard or switchgear. The standard bus withstand rating is 65kA.

Park Offers Many Versatile Switchboard Designs

 

Park switchboards can be furnished in various types and models to meet your service needs and application requirements. We offer front accessible units that conserve floor space and can be installed against a wall. Rear-connected switchboards with draw out or fixed mount breakers are also available. Circuit breakers can be either molded case (MCCB's) or insulated case (ICCB's), depending on considerations for maintenance access, cost factors and other service criteria.

The Park switchboard shown at the right is a front accessible model that is available in both DC and AC versions and can be furnished for either single phase or 3 phase systems. Standard unit is supplied without an outer door.
