        NLS | 36 Pole Surface Mount Switchboard 100A 250/415V | IP40 Rated

        The NLS 30265 is a 36 pole surface mount switchboard rated to a maximum of 100A at 250/415V, 50/60Hz. The 30265 accommodates 36 ways of circuit protection across three DIN rail rows, behind a smoke finish transparent door, at an IP40 protection rating. Manufactured to IEC 60439-3, the enclosure is supplied complete with earth bar, neutral links, pole fillers, DIN rail and circuit identification labels.

        Distribution boards fill faster than the original circuit schedule allows, and a single late circuit can exhaust the available ways. The 30265 carries 36 ways across three rows, so added circuit protection lands on the existing board rather than in a second enclosure. Surface mounting suits sheds, workshops and site offices where conduit is run on the wall face instead of concealed within the framing. Double row copper link bars terminate neutrals and earths without extra hardware.

        Electrical contractors specify the 30265 where an installation needs expansion capacity without moving to a metal switchboard. Fit off is efficient because the DIN rail, pole fillers and identification labels are supplied in the carton, so nothing is chased up mid job. The three row configuration holds a compact 36 way footprint against the wall at 100mm depth. An on-load rating of 100A on single phase supply covers most shed, granny flat and site office installations.

        Features

        • 36 way capacity — three rows of DIN rail carry up to 36 single pole devices, with wider devices such as main switches and RCBOs taking more than one way each.
        • Rated to 100A — the 30265 is rated up to 100A at 250/415V, 50/60Hz, with on-load current of 100A on single phase and 63A on three phase.
        • IP40 protection — rated against solid objects larger than 1mm, with no rating against water, so the board is an indoor and protected location product.
        • Surface mount body — mounts to the wall face using the supplied backboard, with no wall cavity or recess needed.
        • Smoke finish transparent door — the top hinged door lets circuit labels and breaker positions be read without opening the board.
        • Earth bar and neutral bar fitted — double row copper link bars are supplied for terminating neutrals and earths at fit off.
        • Full DIN rail supplied — DIN rail runs across all three rows, so devices land straight on the rail with no extra rail purchase.
        • Pole fillers included — blank fillers close off unused ways so the finished board has no open gaps in the escutcheon.
        • Circuit identification labels — labels are supplied with the 30265, so circuits are marked up at fit off without a separate label kit.
        • Built to IEC 60439-3 — the NLS switchboard range is manufactured to IEC 60439-3, the standard covering distribution boards operated by ordinary persons.
        • Board dimensions — 305mm by 473mm across the face, with a 100mm body depth, and a packed weight of 2.545kg.
        • Not weatherproof — the IP40 rating rules out outdoor, damp and wash down locations, where a weatherproof enclosure is required instead.

        Where to use

        • Sheds and home workshops — the 30265 gives a shed its own board for lighting, power and machine circuits fed from the house mains.
        • Granny flats and relocatable homes — 36 ways covers lighting, power, hot water, air conditioning and appliance circuits on a single sub board.
        • Site offices and demountable buildings — the surface mount body fits stud and panel walls where there is no cavity for a recessed board.
        • Small commercial tenancies — a 36 way board suits a shop or office fitout with separate lighting, power and mechanical circuits.
        • Board upgrades on older homes — the 30265 takes the circuit count that a rewire or an added RCBO schedule demands.
        • Sub boards off a main switchboard — feeds a workshop, pool plant or outbuilding from a submain without crowding the main board.
        • Solar and EV charger additions — spare ways allow inverter and charger circuits to be added without replacing the enclosure.
        • Rural pump and pack sheds — suits enclosed, dry plant rooms where conduit is run on the surface and access is needed for testing.

        The NLS 30265 is not rated for outdoor or damp locations, and the IP40 rating provides no protection against rainfall, hosing or wash down procedures. Do not install the enclosure in wet areas, external wall positions or dusty plant rooms. The switchboard is also unsuitable for supply arrangements exceeding 100A or 415V.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: NLS 30265 | 36 Pole Surface Mount Switch Board IP40 (30265)

        "Easy switchboard to install and good quality." — Robert

        "it fits 14 per row comfortably" — Blake

        (30265)

        The NLS 30265 is manufactured to IEC 60439-3, the standard covering distribution boards intended for operation by ordinary persons. The enclosure is rated IP40. Installation itself must comply with AS/NZS 3000, and the licensed installer confirms suitability for the specific site and supply arrangement.

        A licensed electrician must install and connect this switchboard. Work on a switchboard involves live mains and is not permitted as DIY in any Australian state or territory. The electrician mounts the enclosure, lands the submain, fits the devices, terminates the bars and tests the installation before energising.

        The NLS 30265 takes 36 single pole DIN mounted devices, arranged as three rows of 12. Wider devices consume more than one way each, so a three pole main switch or a two pole RCBO reduces the number of remaining single pole circuits available on that row.

        The NLS switchboard range is designed to accommodate most leading brands of circuit protection devices currently sold in Australia, since devices clip to standard DIN rail. Confirm physical width, terminal position and busbar arrangement against the chosen device range before ordering.

        The NLS 30265 is supplied with the enclosure, backboard, smoke finish transparent door, full DIN rail, earth bar, neutral links, pole fillers and circuit identification labels. Circuit breakers, RCBOs, main switches and the submain cable are purchased separately.

        Sparky Direct lists a one year warranty for both domestic and commercial use on the 30265, starting from the invoice date. The warranty method is return to Sparky Direct. Warranty is void if the product is not installed by a licensed electrician.

        No. The IP40 rating protects against solid objects larger than 1mm and gives no protection against water. Outdoor positions, damp areas, wash down zones and unprotected carport or patio walls need a weatherproof enclosure rated to IP56 or higher instead.

        The NLS 30265 is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
