Schneider Electric has released the Encapsulated Chassis.

The chassis is an enclosed busbar system which reduces potential hazards for electrical maintenance workers by providing additional barriers and protection.

Complying with Australian Standard IEC 61439-1 and IEC 61439-2 the chassis is adaptable for use in most industrial and commercial applications and is already being used in Schneider Electric’s MB and MD distribution boards.

The encapsulated chassis has a 250A enclosed current rating, is available in 2, 3 or 3Ph+N phases system to suit all standard Schneider Electric circuit protection MCBs, RCBOs and comes in various sizes from 12 to 108 poles, in 18mm, 27mm or hybrid chassis.

For total flexibility, coloured phase identification labels of single feed chassis are not attached, allowing customers to choose whether they opt for top or bottom installation.

The product is a direct substitution for Schneider Electric’s deep coated MSC Chassis.
