The B&R Enclosures Q20 is a single-phase temporary meter box with 23-pole DIN rail capacity, built for Queensland metering under the Horizon Q Series. The Q20 is manufactured from 1.0mm galvanised steel to Z275 with a powder-coated Light Grey RAL7035 finish, and carries an IP23 protection rating. It is AS/NZS 3012 compliant for temporary construction power and rated to region D wind loads under AS1170.2-2002.
Temporary supply on a construction site needs a metering enclosure that meets AS/NZS 3012 from the first inspection. The Q20 comes with a 9-pole earth link, an 18-pole neutral link and a stud, plus a meter neutral link fitted to the rear of the panel. The board arrives ready to wire without chasing extra parts on site. Its RotaDIN rotating DIN section lets an electrician reach the top and bottom of the mounted breakers without fighting the enclosure.
For contractors running temporary power, the Q20 is a repeatable spec across domestic and light commercial jobs, so one enclosure covers most builder's-pole setups. The self-closing gravity catch and cord retainer keep extension leads secure and the door shut once the board is live. A circuit identification label area with a protective cover means the finished job stays clear for the next tradesperson who opens it.
The Q20 carries an IP23 rating, so it is not sealed for driving rain, pressure washing or heavy dust and should be sited with that limit in mind. It is a temporary metering enclosure built to AS/NZS 3012 and is not intended as a permanent switchboard. Confirm the pole count, terminal layout and local network requirements with the relevant Queensland distributor before installation.

The Q20 is manufactured to AS/NZS 3012 for temporary electrical installations on construction and demolition sites. It also carries the AS/NZS 3000 weatherproof installation label and is wind rated to region D under AS1170.2-2002. Confirm the metering layout with your Queensland network distributor before connection.
A temporary meter box must be installed and connected by a licensed electrician in line with AS/NZS 3012 and the local network's metering rules. The enclosure mounts on a builder's pole or frame brackets, and the incoming supply is terminated through the top cable entry.
The meter box provides 23 DIN positions on a rotating, removable RotaDIN section, so an electrician can access the top and bottom of the mounted breakers without removing the panel. It is supplied with a 9-pole earth link, an 18-pole neutral link and a stud.
The standard body is 1.0mm galvanised steel to Z275, powder-coated in Light Grey RAL7035. A 316 stainless steel body is available as a factory option for coastal or corrosive environments. Overall size is 690mm high, 485mm wide and 278mm deep.
The enclosure is rated IP23, which resists vertically dripping water and solid objects larger than 12.5mm. It suits outdoor temporary metering but is not sealed against driving rain, hosing or heavy dust. Site the box so the aperture and door are protected from direct water where possible.
The Q20 is covered by a one-year warranty for both domestic and commercial use, starting from the invoice date. Warranties are void if the product is not installed by a licensed electrician. Keep your proof of purchase for any claim.
The Horizon Q range offers a builder's pole for slab-mounted temporary supply, plus galvanised or stainless roof and plinth kits and a flush-mount kit. These let you configure the box for exposed, flush or freestanding installations. Ask Sparky Direct which accessories suit your site.
