Reading the specification
What these numbers mean for your installation
A datasheet tells you what the unit does. This is what each figure changes about how you specify, feed and site it — worked out for the ~80 kVA specifically, not the range in general.
115 kVA
A 160 A incomer on a 415 V three-phase supply carries about 115 kVA at full rating. We list this panel at ~80 kVA because continuous loading is normally held well below the breaker rating — the difference is your diversity and future-expansion margin.
4 ways
4 ways of protected outgoing feeders. Allow one spare way at commissioning: adding a feeder later means de-energising the whole board, and on a working shop floor that shutdown usually costs more than the extra way did.
IP54
IP54 is dust-protected and rated against splashing water from any direction — an indoor plant room or a sheltered outdoor position. A fully exposed outdoor location, or a washdown area in food or pharma, needs a higher rating and a canopy; tell us the mounting position and we will build to suit.
Sizing Guide
When is a 160A board the right size?
160 A is the smallest board that makes sense for a three-phase industrial connection. It suits a sanctioned load of roughly 80–100 kVA — a small fabrication unit running two or three machines, the main distribution board of a commercial building, or a school block. Four outgoing ways is enough for a site with a clean division of load: machines, lighting and sockets, HVAC, and one spare. If you are already planning a fifth circuit, order the 400 A six-way board instead — adding a way later means de-energising the entire board, and on a working floor that shutdown usually costs more than the extra way would have. At 200 kg it needs no special handling equipment to place.
Before you order
Where a 160A board goes in, and what the site needs
Typical installations
We supply ~80 kVA most often into small industrial units, commercial buildings, educational institutions and healthcare facilities, alongside retail outlets and small manufacturing units. What separates those sites is how the outgoing ways get allocated. Two boards of this rating can look identical on the schedule and behave completely differently depending on whether one feeder carries most of the load or the demand is spread evenly across them.
Site preparation
At 200 kg two people and a pallet truck will position this. The practical constraint is the doorway and any step or threshold on the route, not the weight itself. Leave working clearance on the terminal side for cable entry and inspection. Sustained ambient above 45 °C, or an enclosed room without cross-ventilation, requires derating — send us the room conditions and we will confirm the rating still holds where you intend to put it.
Adjacent ratings
If a 160A board is not the right size
Sizing rarely lands exactly on a catalogue rating first time. These are the ratings either side of it in the same range — compare the specification before you commit.
