A  Revolution  in  Switchboard  Design    

The MerTower is a four sided switchboard that you can walk around. All the outgoing feeders are fed from one vertical set of busbars and it has a central cooling tower. We call it 'A Revolution in Switchboard Design' . That's quite a big claim. But when was the last time you saw a switchboard that looked any different than they did 30 years ago. Never before has an LV Switchboard included so many innovations and unique design features. The MerTower has been designed by going back to the drawing board and listing all the things that are important to the installer, the user, the specifier and most importantly the environment. We then tried to find ways of improving the experience for everybody.

  • The MerTower uses up to 75% less copper busbars than other switchboards
  • The MerTower busbars carry half the current of other switchboards
  • The MerTower runs a lot cooler than other switchboards
  • The MerTower’s carbon footprint is lower than other switchboards
  • Due to it’s unique tower shape, designers can reduce switchroom sizes
  • The MerTower complies with the new IEC 61439-2 LV Switchgear standard
