Outdoor distribution boxes must be protected against lightning strikes

Outdoor distribution boxes must be protected against lightning strikes

Type 1 SPDs should be installed at the service entrance, while Type 2 SPDs provide protection at distribution levels. Complete protection can be achieved only if power lines, data and signal lines are all protected using a surge protection device (SPD). OBO can offer the right selection of products, depending on the application and scope of protection. NEC (National Electrical Code) Article 314 provides strict requirements for these installations, and for good reason.

The control box belongs to the distribution box

The control box belongs to the distribution box

A control box is an enclosure that houses components used to start, stop, regulate, and monitor machinery or processes. Unlike distribution boxes that mainly handle power division, control boxes govern how electrical power is used. Located near machinery, they provide centralized control for starting, stopping, adjusting, and monitoring. The structure is relatively simple, and it is mostly used for terminal power distribution.
