SMB Intelect switchboard cabinet and busbar system

A new generation of the Intelect modular switchboard system from the SMB Group features the strength of custom-built configurations with the flexibility of modular construction.

The Intelect G3 system is the third generation of the Intelect system and has been engineered in Australia for Australian conditions. It joins SMB’s range of low-voltage electrical switchboards for energy distribution applications in industrial, commercial, health, infrastructure, water and wastewater, resources, energy, retail and financial institutions.

The system is adaptable to various brands of switchgear for different applications and can be custom engineered to suit the customer’s individual requirements.

The busbar system is arranged in a patented matrix pattern in which the main busbars occupy a range of predetermined vertical and horizontal positions arranged for maximum mechanical strength and cooling, with phases fully insulated and segregated from each other. This results in a compact, safe switchboard.

The modular system is engineered for strength, with the frame being sufficiently strong to be lifted from the top (rather than the bottom, as with most systems) adding to ease of installation and maintenance. Access is further enhanced by a stainless steel 180° door hinge, with continuous polyurethane seals machine applied for protection and long life.

The system has compact flexibility for alteration, expansion and maintenance. The busbar system takes minimal depth within the switchboard yet offers flexibility in switchboard design without departing from type test certification. Busbar connections can be readily accessed for maintenance and system expansion.
