News & Views

The upcoming changes in standards relating to LV Switchgear & Control Assemblies will significantly impact the way switchboards are designed and built. The new AS/NZS 61439 standards will require the board builder to ensure that full Design and Routine verification is done on the switchboard and that compliance documentation is available. Electrical contractors will have to take on more responsibility to ensure that their installation has a tested and compliant switchboard system.

IPD offers you the fully compliant Techno module solution and future ready switchgear from ABB. The Techno module system has also been tested extensively with ABB switchgear to bring you high performance, flexibility, and remote monitoring capabilities.
