Electrical distribution board, unauthorised entry prohibited — a two-line plate at 600 x 165mm horizontal, sized for the larger legend.
In anything taller than a couple of storeys, the distribution boards are not in the main switch room. Each level has its own, usually in a cupboard off the lift lobby or the corridor, and each one needs identifying. Electrical installations fall under AS/NZS 3000, and an unmarked board cupboard is both a hazard and a nuisance for whoever has to find it later.
Supplied in satin natural anodised aluminium at $50 or composite ACM silver brushed at $45. Both are the brushed-metal appearance usual on commercial door schedules; the ACM is the cost-effective option where there are several floors to cover and the doors are back-of-house.
Take the count off the electrical drawings rather than the architectural set — distribution boards are often shown as a cupboard on the floor plan without being named, and the one on the ground floor is easy to miss because it is frequently grouped with the main switchboard.
