LV Distribution Switchgear

We supply and assemble low-voltage switchgear, main and sub-distribution boards, transfer panels and protection systems for commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects across Kenya.

Every assembly is configured around the site load schedule, the incoming supply, the prospective fault level, cable entry, access clearances and the OEM equipment you prefer — ABB, Schneider Electric or CHINT.

Either. We engineer from your single line diagram and load schedule, or build to an approved consultant design and issue GA drawings for sign-off.

Typical lead time runs from drawing approval; standard boards are quicker than Form 4 lineups with imported ACBs. We confirm the programme with the quotation.

Testing requirements and records are agreed for each assembly. Ask the team to confirm the applicable IEC 61439 checks for your scope.

We engineer busbar systems braced from 25 kA / 1s up to 100 kA / 1s (and 50 kA for 3 seconds) depending on your transformer capacity, impedance and upstream network stiffness. Fault rating and applicable verification documents are confirmed for the proposed assembly.
