Large distribution pillars are available in both glass-reinforced polycarbonate, painted 304 stainless steel, aluminium and painted zinc anneal. The glass reinforced polycarbonate enclosures are painted to provide enhanced UV resistance.

The standard features of all steel large distribution pillars are:

• 110mm (55 for DIN 00 devices) mounting centres for fuse switches to provide sufficient cable clearances and operator access to switch handles
• Enclosure depths allow the feeders to be left in the open position with the door closed
• Filtered vents ensure protection rating is maintained while ensuring the temperature inside the enclosure is kept to equipment operating limits
• Busbars, neutral and earth bars are provided with roll formed threaded holes to facilitate the convenient mounting of additional switches and easy connection of cables.

All large commercial pillars can be supplied with accessories for the following installation types:

• Cable pit mounted with removable front cover for good cable access
