Distribution Board & Consumer Unit – 1 to 36 Modules, IP20 to IP65 for Professionals
As an electrical contractor, construction company, renovation specialist, or industrial business, you need reliable distribution boards and consumer units that meet the highest standards of safety, durability, and performance. At eKabel24 you’ll find a comprehensive range of high-quality electrical enclosures designed for professional use in new builds, renovations, commercial projects, and specialized applications.
Why a High-Quality Distribution Board Matters
A modern distribution board (also known as consumer unit, fuse box, or electrical enclosure) protects against overload, short circuits, and earth faults while ensuring clear and standards-compliant power distribution. With the growing demands of EV charging, solar PV systems, heat pumps, and smart building technology, professional-grade distribution boards have become essential.

Applications of Distribution Boards and Consumer Units
Our electrical enclosures are used across a wide range of professional sectors:
- Electrical Contractors & Installers: New installations and upgrades of residential and commercial properties
- Construction & Renovation Companies: Electrical system modernization and new builds

Technical Features and Selection Criteria
When choosing a distribution board, key factors include module capacity, protection rating (IP), mounting type, and future expandability. IP65 models are ideal for damp environments such as garages, outdoor areas, agricultural buildings, or vehicle conversions.
| Module Capacity | Typical Applications | Protection Rating | Mounting Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–6 Modules | Small sub-distribution, single rooms, van conversions | IP20 – IP65 | Surface / Flush |
| 8–18 Modules | Homes, offices, small commercial units | IP20 – IP65 | Surface / Flush |
| 24–36 Modules | Multi-family homes, industrial sites, large renovations | IP20 – IP65 | Surface / Flush |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between a distribution board and a consumer unit?
The terms are often used interchangeably. A consumer unit typically refers to the main residential distribution board with circuit breakers and RCDs. Distribution board is a broader term used for larger or sub-distribution enclosures.
Which IP rating do I need for damp or outdoor environments?
For garages, workshops, outdoor use, or vehicle installations we recommend at least IP65. These enclosures are dust-tight and protected against water jets.
Are these distribution boards suitable for commercial and industrial use?
Yes. All our enclosures comply with current international standards and are widely used by professional electricians, construction firms, and industrial companies.
How many modules do I need for a typical home?
For a modern 3–4 bedroom house with EV charger or heat pump, 18–24 modules are recommended to provide sufficient space for future expansions.
Can I install the distribution board myself?
Installation of distribution boards must only be carried out by qualified and registered electricians. We supply professional-grade components for your electrical team.
With our wide selection of distribution boards, consumer units, and electrical enclosures, you invest in quality that professionals trust – delivering safety, clarity, and long-term reliability for every project.
