Distribution board assembly and upgrade
The board is the heart of the whole system. Labex assembles new boards, splits the circuits and fits the right protection.
- New board assembly
- Correct breaker ratings
- Residual current device fitting
- Labelling and tidying circuits
- Rebalancing the load
When does a board need upgrading?
When the breaker trips at peak load, the board still holds old fuses or breakers of mismatched ratings, the circuits are unlabelled, there is no residual current device at all, or heavy new appliances have been added.
How does Labex build a board?
- Counting the existing load, room by room
- Separating the circuits and sizing the rating for each
- Fitting the residual current device and the breakers
- Labelling the circuits and testing under load
For three-phase and power boards, see high-voltage work. The earthing is checked together with the board.
What does distribution board from Labex include?
The board is the heart of the whole system. Labex assembles new boards, splits the circuits and fits the right protection.
How quickly does the electrician arrive?
Labex takes emergency calls first and handles most requests in Tbilisi the same day. Average response time is 30 minutes.
Where does Labex work?
Labex works across Tbilisi, in every district, and in the areas just outside the city.
Why does the breaker trip in the evening?
In the evening the most appliances come on at once. If the circuit or the breaker was not sized for that load, that is exactly when it trips.
What is a residual current device and why is it needed?
A residual current device detects leakage and cuts the circuit before a person is hurt. A breaker does not do that; it protects against overload and short circuit.
Does replacing the board mean the power goes off?
Yes, the supply is off while the work is done. Labex tells you in advance how long that lasts and works in stages where it is needed.
What does a distribution board cost?
It depends on the number of circuits, how many breakers and residual current devices go in, and whether the incoming cable is replaced. Labex counts the load first and tells you the price before building the board.
A plastic or a metal distribution board?
For a flat a plastic board is usually enough. A metal one is chosen where the board stands outdoors, needs mechanical protection or the site is commercial. Labex recommends the board to suit the place and the load.
