Learn more by watching our NLS 30256 | 18 Pole Surface Mount Switch Board IP40 video.
The NLS 30256 is an 18-pole surface-mount distribution board rated IP40, designed to accommodate most leading brands of circuit protection devices in Australian domestic and commercial installations. The 30256 includes a full complement of din rail, earth bar, neutral links, and circuit identification labels, ready for immediate installation. It complies with IEC60439-3 standards and is constructed from fire-resistant polycarbonate.
Site electricians face real constraints when planning board installations: available wall space, the need for internal working room, and the cost of over-specifying a board for the job. The NLS 30256 solves this through a compact footprint (364mm x 222mm x 100mm) that doesn't sacrifice generous internal mounting space. Tradies value the pre-installed earth bar and neutral links that cut wiring-in time on the jobsite. The board suits sheds, offices, relocatable homes, site offices, and residential installations where a straightforward enclosure at a fair price is the right choice.
Electricians specify the NLS 30256 because it balances cost with functionality: a competitive price point that holds up across job estimates, one-piece construction with no assembly required, and a din rail layout that accepts all major circuit protection brands. The board arrives complete with identification labels and pole fillers, reducing preparation time before handoff. For residential work, renovations, and light commercial applications, the 30256 delivers solid value without over-engineering.
The NLS 30256 is not suitable for outdoor installations, damp exposed locations, or areas subject to splash, rain, or weathering. This is an interior distribution board only. Do not install in wet areas, kitchens with overhead spray, laundries, or external walls.
