Don’t brick it!
There is an easier way to install a power supply than a brick built cubicle.
Building a brick cubicle might seem like a good option when installing a new power supply (or upgrading a connection), however there might be more requirements than anticipated.
There is an important detail not to be overlooked when getting a new power supply: you must meet the requirements of the DNO, the company responsible for the grid. The DNO will inspect the new supply and will energise it only if it meets their requirements.
In what seems like a simple construction job, the brick building will need to be compliant with the DNO. Here is a brick built cubicle drawing from local DNO Electricity North West as an example of such requirements. To simplify connection projects, Ritherdon designed an effective alternative to the brick built cubicle.Â
Meet Ritherdon Power Supply Kiosks, which can be installed quickly to save time, effort, and money.
PS and TBS Supply Kiosks
The innovative solution has become the go to choice for customers seeking efficiency and cost effectiveness. The Kiosks are designed to house a new electric meter and the DNO connections for a new electricity supply as a durable alternative to a brick built cubicle.
But what makes the Ritherdon PS and TBS Kiosks so special? Here are a few features that set them apart:
Quick Installation:
No more waiting days or even weeks for a traditional brick built cubicle to be completed. With either a PS300 or PS60 Kiosk, your external electrical enclosure can be up and running in a fraction of the time.
The same can be said about TBS300 and TBS60 Kiosks, as there are exactly the same kiosk, but painted red to denote their temporary status.Â
Durable:
Constructed from high quality materials (stainless steel and now PVC option too!) both the PS and TBS Kiosks are designed to withstand the elements. A strong cabinet too with an IK10 impact rating.
Secure:
Provides a secure space for your electrical components, with separate lockable compartments for the consumer and the DNO. Both compartment doors come fitted with a three-point locking system with tri-key camlocks and padlock shroud. Find out more about enclosure security.
Cost Effective:
Not only does using a Power Supply Enclosure reduce labour costs due to its quick installation, but it also minimises maintenance expenses over time, providing long term savings.
Versatile:
For different types of connections, you can choose either the PS60 or the PS300 Kiosks (‘PS’ stands for Permanent Supply).
The PS60 Kiosk houses equipment up to 100 A or 60-70 kVA whilst the PS300 Kiosk has a larger capacity, housing equipment up to 430 A or 309 kVA, and can also house a CT Chamber or other CT Metering Panels such as a MOD156. These are not included with the Kiosk, but can also be supplied by Ritherdon depending on your connection requirements.
As well as offering the TBS60 and TBS300 in their temporary versions, which are the same material and quality, just painted ‘traffic red’ so they are identified as temporary supplies (‘TBS’ stands for Temporary Builders Supply).  See this post introducing them for the first time as part of our Enclosure Range.
The Ritherdon Power Supply Enclosures were initially designed to meet the local DNO requirements, here in the North West that would be Electricity North West (ENW), however they have proven very popular all over the UK.
There are already quite a lot of requirements for getting a new connection, so why would you add a brick built cubicle to the list?
Whether you need an enclosure for a commercial project or a personal DIY venture such as a self build, opt for a ready made electrical enclosure.
