        NLS | 24 Pole Surface Mount Switchboard | IP40

        The NLS 30257 is a 24 pole surface-mount switchboard enclosure rated up to 100A at 250/415V, built for Australian domestic and light commercial distribution. The 30257 takes up to 24 single-pole DIN modules across two rows and carries an IP40 rating for indoor, dry locations. It is manufactured by National Light Sources to IEC 60439-3 and ships as a complete kit with DIN rail, earth bar, neutral links, and pole fillers.

        A crowded sub-board or a shed supply frequently needs more ways than a small enclosure accommodates, without consuming additional wall space. The 30257 arranges 24 poles across two rows in a compact configuration, leaving room to route conductors and complete terminations without cramming the board. Its DIN rail accepts most major breaker and RCD brands, so the board can be populated with protection devices already carried on the van. The smoke-tinted door gives an immediate read of breaker positions once the board is live.

        For contractors, the 30257 is a cost-effective sub-board that keeps job pricing competitive on sheds, granny flats, and small commercial fitouts. The complete kit removes the need to source separate DIN rail, copper links, or pole fillers before installation begins. Because the enclosure accepts 18mm modules from most manufacturers, existing shelf stock drops straight in, which simplifies quoting and inventory. It remains a straightforward, good-looking board that does the job on domestic work without inflating the bill of materials.

        Features

        • 24 pole capacity — accepts up to 24 single-pole 18mm DIN devices across two rows, suiting fuller domestic and light commercial boards.
        • Surface-mount design — the 30257 fixes to the wall face with no cavity required, which suits solid walls, sheds, and retrofit sub-boards.
        • Brand-agnostic DIN rail — fits most leading MCB, RCBO, and RCD brands, so the board can be populated from existing van stock.
        • Complete kit supplied — includes DIN rail, earth bar, neutral links, pole fillers, circuit ID labels, and backboard, ready to wire.
        • Up to 100A rating — rated to 100A at 250/415V, 50/60Hz, with on-load current of 100A single phase or 63A three phase.
        • Two-row layout — 24 ways split across two rows keeps circuit grouping tidy and leaves working room for terminations.
        • Smoke-tinted door — the transparent smoke-finish door gives a fast visual check of breaker and RCD positions without opening the board.
        • Fire-resistant body — moulded from fire-resistant thermoplastic with a UV-resistant polycarbonate door, built to IEC 60439-3.
        • Top-hinged door — the door hinges from the top for clear access to the busbar and DIN rail during wiring and inspection.
        • IP40 indoor rating — only rated for indoor, dry locations; the 30257 is not weatherproof and is not suited to exposed outdoor or damp areas.
        • Compact footprint — external size of 325mm high, 270mm wide, and 100mm deep fits neatly on most wall runs.
        • Licensed install — must be installed and terminated by a licensed electrician; the enclosure ships empty of protection devices.

        Where to use

        • Sheds and garages — the 30257 works as a main switchboard or sub-board for detached outbuildings on a domestic supply.
        • Granny flats and studios — a compact 24-way board suits secondary dwellings that need their own distribution and metering circuits.
        • Home office and small fitouts — houses general power, lighting, and dedicated circuits for a home office or small commercial tenancy.
        • Site offices and relocatable buildings — a surface-mount board that installs quickly on transportable and temporary structures.
        • Board upgrades and extensions — the 30257 adds capacity as a sub-board where an existing board has run out of ways.
        • Sub-boards for pools and workshops — feeds separate protection for pool equipment, workshop tools, or an indoor machinery run.
        • Renovation rewiring — replaces an undersized board during a domestic rewire where 24 ways and an IP40 rating suit the location.

        The NLS 30257 is rated IP40 and is not weatherproof. Do not install the 30257 in exposed outdoor positions, damp areas, or wash-down zones. It must be mounted indoors or in a dry, protected location, and it ships empty of protection devices, so it is not a ready-to-use consumer unit on its own.

        Not fully exposed outdoor areas. Its IP40 rating means it must be installed indoors or in a dry, protected location.
