Product details
A feeder pillar, also known as a distribution pillar or distribution cabinet, is a type of electrical enclosure used in electrical power distribution systems. It serves as a connection point between the incoming electrical power supply from the main distribution network and the internal electrical distribution network within a building, facility, or a specific area. The main purpose of a feeder pillar is to distribute electricity from the main power supply to various electrical circuits or loads within a local area. It provides a convenient and secure point for electrical connections and protection devices, helping to distribute power efficiently and safely. Key features of a feeder pillar include: Enclosure: Feeder pillars are typically made of metal (such as steel or aluminum) or reinforced concrete, providing protection against environmental elements like rain, dust, and vandalism. Circuit Breakers or Fuses: Inside the feeder pillar, there are circuit breakers or fuses that protect the connected electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. These devices automatically disconnect the circuit in case of an abnormal current flow, preventing damage to the equipment and electrical hazards. Busbars: Feeder pillars contain busbars, which are conductive metal bars that serve as a common electrical connection point for multiple outgoing circuits. Metering: In some cases, feeder pillars may include energy meters to measure the electricity consumption of the connected circuits. Lockable Doors: Feeder pillars are often equipped with lockable doors to restrict access to authorized personnel only, enhancing safety and security. Feeder pillars are commonly used in outdoor locations, such as on the side of roads, in industrial areas, commercial centers, residential communities, and other places where local distribution of electricity is required. It's important to note that the specific features and components of a feeder pillar may vary depending on the application and local regulations. Electrical installations should always be carried out by trained professionals to ensure safety and compliance with applicable standards.
