Following its hugely successful foray into the consumer unit market less than four years ago with its comprehensive Elucian range, Click Scolmore is ready to further revolutionise electrical installations with the launch of its new Elucian Three Phase Distribution Board collection.
With the Elucian by Click single phase consumer unit range having grown rapidly since 2021 to become the number one choice of the professional electrical contractor, Scolmore has invested significantly to evolve its Elucian offer and bring to market an extensive range of Three Phase metal distribution boards, protective devices and accessories. Developed with the installer as the focus, the Elucian Three Phase Distribution Boards have been designed to deliver reliable performance, safety, and flexibility for commercial and industrial installations. Built to meet the demands of modern electrical systems, they feature advanced protective devices and robust construction, ensuring compliance with the latest industry standards. With a range of sizes and configurations, they provide a versatile solution for managing complex power distribution needs.
Having consulted extensively with contractors for their valuable feedback during the development phase, Scolmore is confident that the innovation and quality of its new three-phase distribution board range will satisfy installers’ requirements and set a new standard in the industry.
A dedicated resource
In anticipation of the launch of its Three Phase range, and on the back of the rapid growth and success of the original Elucian consumer unit range, Scolmore has invested in a dedicated focus for the category. Daniel Ellams was appointed Elucian National Sales Manager last year and is now heading up a team of nine newly recruited sales team members. Together they are working to develop the sales growth business strategy that has been instrumental in taking Elucian from a standing start to a leading player in the consumer unit sector in less than four years.
As well as a dedicated sales team, the extensive Elucian range will benefit from all the resources available from within Scolmore Group including technical support and customer service teams. Scolmore has created a new website – www.elucianuk.com – and a full marketing campaign has been developed to ensure that the new Three Phase range reaches as wide an audience as possible in the coming months.
Why Three Phase
Three Phase distribution boards are electrical panels or units designed to distribute electrical power from a three-phase supply to multiple circuits or systems. They are indispensable in modern electrical systems, especially for industrial, commercial and large residential buildings where three-phase electricity is needed to power equipment, machinery, or buildings efficiently due to the nature of the connected loads.
Three Phase applications
Three Phase distribution boards are designed to be widely used across various sectors due to their ability to efficiently handle larger loads. Typical applications might include:
- Industrial Settings: Powering heavy machinery, production lines, automation systems.
- Commercial Buildings: Distributing power across office floors, lighting and HVAC systems.
- Data Centres: Supporting high-density server setups with reliable and balanced power.
- Retail Spaces: Managing lighting and refrigeration.
Regulation compliant
The distribution boards are meticulously designed and engineered to deliver consistent, high-performance results, making them a trusted choice for professionals. Each board undergoes rigorous testing to meet and exceed BS EN 61439-3 standards, ensuring compliance with safety, durability, and functionality requirements. This thorough process guarantees that the products will provide dependable, long-lasting solutions for even the most demanding electrical installations, whilst offering peace of mind to installers and ensuring compliance with BS 7671.
The Elucian Three Phase range has comprehensive options for every installation. These consist of distribution boards, extension boards, circuit protective devices, energy meters and accessories.
Three Phase Distribution Boards
The range comprises a total of seven distribution boards – 4, 6, 8, 12,.16, 20 and 24 Way.
Designed with a modern finish, the Elucian distribution boards boast a number of key features that have been developed with the installer’s needs in mind:
- 4 and 6 Way distribution boards are designed specifically to only work with a 125A incomer, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility for safe and efficient power distribution. They are supplied with gear tray and busbars pre-installed.
- 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24-way boards offer versatile configurations, allowing the installer to choose between any of the Elucian RCCBs, 125A Isolator, or 250A Isolator to suit their installation needs.
- Device Alignment - the boards have been designed to maintain device alignment when fully installed, ensuring a neat and organised appearance, and allow for easy fitting of the cover.
- Quick Release Doors - the doors are fitted with spring clips, making them quick and easy to remove. The doors can be re-fitted on the opposite side, providing ultimate flexibility.
- SPD Installation - SPD for the 4 and 6 way boards can be installed on additional phase connectors. On 8 way and larger boards, it can be integrated into the main switch or busbar.
- Ventilation Slots – ventilation slots at the top and bottom ensure proper airflow to prevent overheating and to maintain optimal performance.
- Trunking Entry - the boards feature a removable panel at the bottom and top, providing unobstructed cable entry.
- Stacked Boards – the boards are designed for easy stacking, allowing multiple units to be stacked on top of each other. A Single Phase 18-way extension board can also be stacked, providing flexible solutions for larger installations.
- Double Stacked Terminals – all boards are fitted with double-stacked terminals, allowing for easier access to the terminal bars during wiring. This improves convenience and efficiency, making the installation process quicker.
- Cable tie mounts – integrated cable tie mounts on the back of the boards provide a secure and durable solution for cable management.
- Space for Cables – there is ample space for wiring, providing easy access to devices and terminals, which simplifies the installation process.
- Internal Earth Nut – an internal earth nut is located on the side, serving as the main earth connection. This ensures a secure and reliable grounding point, enhancing safety and compliance with electrical standards.
- Additional Connection to Phases – the top terminals can be used to extend the board for additional ways, offering flexibility in system configuration. This extension is compatible with cables up to 25mm2.
