The New 71 page Control and Automation catalogue
t is over 15 years since Niglon first introduced a range of circuit protection and switchgear products to the market. Since then, changes within ‘BS7671 Wiring Regulations’ have brought about a number of developments, but none more so than in the past two years. Last year saw the introduction over 100 new products within our circuit protection offering, which included a wider range of surge protection devices. We have also recently introduced a range of competitively priced three-phase distribution boards. In last month’s edition of ECN, we touched on our market-focused approach to product development, and Niglon’s ‘one-stop shop’ philosophy to business. This is no more apparent than in the latest launch of over 600 new product lines which are all encompassed in our brand new 71-page ‘Control & Automation’ catalogue. The new range has taken 12 months to come together and includes a wide range of products, including enclosures, motor control gear, relays, switchgear and panel components.
Stepping into three-phase Following on from our successful range of tried and trusted domestic circuit protection, we have recently taken the natural step of introducing a competitively priced three-phase distribution range. The boards are packed with a number of time-saving installation features and are available from a range of four to 24 ways. All can either be selected with a pre-mounted 125A four-pole switch disconnector for ease and speed of installation, or switch-free, allowing you the option to choose one of our ‘7’ alternative incomer options. To provide additional functionality we also offer a range of extension boxes, including a multifunction metering kit. The kit is pre-wired and includes the meter, current transformers and local fuse protection to simplify the installation. Mount the enclosure onto your distribution board using the six fixing screws and pass your incoming cable through the current transformers and the job is done – it’s that simple. All our three phase distribution boards are independently tested and certified to BS EN 60439-3.
