Who is this category suitable for?

The category is ideal for electrical installers, electrical planners and builders in Switzerland who need complete electrical distribution boards or individual components for new installations, modernizations or expansions. Technically skilled DIY enthusiasts and homeowners will also find suitable products to carry out smaller projects themselves – from retrofitting an RCD to replacing outdated fuses. Operators of commercial properties and caretakers also benefit from the wide range of spare and accessory parts that are often not available at short notice from local specialist retailers.

Quality, safety & product selection

When purchasing electrical distribution boards and components, it is worth paying attention to tested quality in accordance with NIN (Low-Voltage Installation Standard), SEV regulations and EN 61439 – this ensures installation-compliant and safe operation. High-quality products from renowned brands also offer a longer service life, reliable protective functions and easier maintenance. The range includes both standard components and special solutions for demanding installation environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an electrical distribution board and what is it needed for?
An electrical distribution board – often also called a control cabinet or fuse box – is the central element of the electrical installation in buildings. It safely distributes power to individual circuits, houses protective devices such as RCDs and MCBs, and ensures reliable overload and short-circuit protection.
What is the difference between an RCD and an MCB?
An RCD protects people from dangerous residual currents by switching off within milliseconds in the event of a fault current. An MCB protects cables and devices against overload and short circuits. Both complement each other and are usually installed in combination in modern electrical distribution boards.
Which small distribution board is suitable for private residential construction?
For private residential construction, small distribution boards with sufficient module spaces for the usual number of circuits are suitable. Models from Hager, ABB or Eaton are widely used in Switzerland and offer modular interiors that can be flexibly adapted to the respective installation plan.
Which relays and contactors are recommended for building automation?
Installation relays and contactors from Finder, Schneider Electric or ABB are often used for building automation. They differ in coil voltage, number of contacts and switching capacity. Devices with low power consumption and a long service life are particularly suitable for smart home applications.
How do I select the right fuse?
Choosing the right fuse depends on the rated current, the tripping characteristic and the place of use. Common designs are NH fuses for higher currents and D fuses for the house connection area. Brands such as Siba and Mersen offer tested quality according to IEC standards.
When is a surge arrester useful and what should be considered?
A surge arrester is useful when electrical and electronic devices need to be protected against voltage peaks caused by lightning strikes or switching operations in the network. Attention should be paid to the discharge capacity, the protection levels and correct installation in accordance with standards. Dehn and Phoenix Contact are leading brands in this field.
What accessories are needed to install a distribution board?
In addition to the protective devices themselves, accessories such as busbars, connection terminals, wiring ducts, fuse bases, blank covers and labelling materials are usually required. Hager, ABB and Rittal offer extensive system accessories from a single source that are precisely coordinated with each other.
Which safety standards apply to electrical distribution boards in Switzerland?
In Switzerland, electrical distribution boards must comply with the provisions of the Low-Voltage Installation Standard (NIN) and the SEV regulations. The European standards EN 61439 for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies also apply. Tested components bear the corresponding test marks and ensure installation-compliant and safe operation.
