Electrical distribution: a priority on the construction site!
On a professional construction site—whether indoors or outdoors, small or large—many electrical devices require a stable and reliable power supply to operate safely, both for the devices themselves and for their users. To ensure this, it is essential to have a safe and properly distributed power supply for everyone, anywhere on the site. That’s why we offer a wide range of power distribution, including products such as electrical distribution cabinets (with a wide range of customization options or fully custom-built), metering cabinets, and safety transformers and isolation transformers… Better electrical distribution will improve your performance by minimizing time lost due to power issues.
First and foremost, it's vital to understand how your site's electrical distribution and installations work, how to improve them, and how they can enhance your performance and everyone's safety.
Why set up an efficient distribution system on your worksites?
Generally speaking, electrical distribution ensures that your equipment operateswithout any risk of malfunction or poor performance. Not only does this enable you to use your lighting to its full potential, it also extends its service life. It can be seen as a "shell", an additional protection for your electrical network and all the devices connected to it.
Cost reduction
In a context where energy costs are becoming increasingly significant for construction sites, it is essential to implement an efficient power distribution system that will reduce—or at least limit and optimize—your electricity consumption! Furthermore , since our isolation transformer and safety transformer and even our rubber-encased outlet boxes are made from very sturdy and durable materials, so your system will last for years without needing to replace the distribution components. In addition, our equipment also allows you to monitor your facilities’ electricity consumption in real time, such as with the yellow-rate meter box for installations with a power rating of 36 kVA to 250 kVA or the blue-rate meter box for consumption not exceeding 36 kVA.
Space optimization and safety
Having a good electrical distribution on your job site will also help you minimize the space taken up by your various cables and equipment. By organizing all your equipment around a single power source, you’ll avoid having excess cable lying around and optimize space. This optimization also ensures greater safety by reducing the risk of people on the job site tripping or falling. For example, on job sites where people frequently walk through, our cable trays prove to be very effective, as they can withstand loads of up to 6 metric tons per 20 square centimeters, allowing all types of vehicles and large numbers of pedestrians to pass over them…
Limiting electrical risk
By setting up a proper power distribution system, you drastically reduce the risk of malfunctions and hazards to your facilities. All of our isolation transformers (or isolation transformers), for example, are equipped with very powerful ground-fault circuit interrupters that will limit damage and prevent repercussions on your devices and the rest of your electrical system.
Our electrical distribution cabinet, customizable from A to Z!
Over the years, our range has expanded to include increasingly high-performance products, better designed for professionals in all sectors. Today, we are able to design distribution cabinets, metering cabinets and metering boxes 100% to measure. In fact, our entire range can be customized!
We can design your equipment from scratch, or start from a base and add various options, such as all brands of sockets/plugs (Marechal, Shucko, Powersafe...), differential circuit breakers, sockets with higher protection ratings, various specialized connectors for 24V/ATEX... and so on. It is also possible to customize the appearance and format of our cabinets to fit in with your infrastructure, as well as other features such as a carrying handle, lifting rings, a padlockable door or transparent polyester enclosure protectors...
Top priority for ATEX and 24V construction sites
Some professionals work in particularly demanding environments for electrical equipment, such as construction sites in damp/wet/submerged areas, or ATEX zones on construction sites (subject to explosive risks, ATEX stands for "explosive atmosphere"). Labérine, the ATEX and 24V expert since 1998, offers complete, reliable and safe solutions for these professionals.
ATEX distribution
Our specialized distribution range for ATEX worksites includes products such as 400VA 230V to 24V safety transformers, splitter boxes, metal or elastomer cable reels and extension leads (which can be customized to your requirements). This equipment will enable you to power all your ATEX lighting (they are necessary) in all zones. For example, you'll need a safety transformer to power an ATEX 60W 24V floodlight, and to connect several ATEX 150W floodlights to a single source without risk, you'll need a 230V splitter and ATEX extension leads . The splitter acts as a kind of isolation transformer, with more connections available.
24V distribution
To work safely in damp or confined spaces, it is essential to use 24V equipment that protects the installations and the personnel present in these areas from electrical hazards.
In order to supply lighting operating on 24V voltage, it is therefore necessary to transform the mains current (230V) to very low voltage (24V). This is achieved by means of a safety transformer, such as the 500VA safety transformer. We have a wide range of products to match our customers' needs. Our expertise also enables us to customize all our products.
For example, you canadd connectors to the 1000VA safety transformer, so you can plug in more products and provide a better lighting source. We also generally recommend 24V extension leads to accompany your electrical installation. In our 24V range, you'll also find everything you need to light up your site or installation, such as the 400W 12/24V LED lighting balloon, or the PRIMA 25W floodlight.
