L.V switch gear

Hi,

I'm new to the IET so bear with me while i familaiarize myself. Does any one know of any Regs for a Low voltage section board 415volts, (Feeds 3 D.B's), a wood frame was constructed around it with plaster board walls, an acess door is there but is wood allowed in the construction. I have noticed the Regs state for a domestic dwelling but this is a Factory.

Thanks

Hello Philip,

Not sure quite what your context is, but, from the way I read your post I see no issue, unless, the wood & plasterboard forms the enclosure over the live parts.

If this "section board" is merely a large metal 3ph panel board then this secondary wood/plasterboard enclosure is merely cosmetic and forms no part of the electrical installation.

You would get more help on the wiring regulations forum here:

However, with just your existing description to go from it will be difficult to say definitively.

Thank you for the advice. As it's secondary to the 3phase
enclosure which is metal there's no issue. Appreciate your
help.

Thanks

Philip
