12-Way Three-Phase Distribution Board Replacement in Attleborough
Electric11 replaced the main-floor distribution board at a commercial workshop in Attleborough, Norfolk. The project involved installing a modern 12-way three-phase Elucian Click distribution board, reconnecting the workshop circuits and applying clear circuit and safety labels.
The completed upgrade provides a more organised and maintainable electrical distribution point for the property’s machinery and socket circuits.
Project Overview
- Location: Attleborough, Norfolk
- Property type: Commercial workshop
- Project: Main-floor distribution board replacement
- Equipment installed: 12-way three-phase Elucian Click distribution board
- Circuits served: Workshop machinery, lathe, milling machine and socket outlets
- Completion: Inspection, testing and relevant electrical certification
The Challenge
The existing DB2 arrangement supplied several important workshop circuits. Replacing it required the existing supplies to be identified carefully before the new board could be connected and labelled.
The installation also needed suitable three-phase protection, a clearly identifiable main switch and prominent 400V safety labelling. Electric11’s experience delivering commercial electrical services allowed the work to be planned around the requirements of the workshop.
Our Solution
The Electric11 team assessed the existing supply, distribution equipment and outgoing circuits before beginning the replacement.
The existing DB2 was replaced with a modern 12-way three-phase Elucian Click distribution board. Circuits serving the lathe, milling machine and 16A and 32A workshop sockets were connected to the new protective devices and identified on the circuit schedule.
The installation included:
- A modern three-phase distribution-board enclosure
- Individual protective devices for the outgoing circuits
- Clearly labelled machinery and socket circuits
- A readily identifiable main isolation point
- 400V electrical-hazard warning labels
- Inspection, electrical testing and certification
Testing, Labelling and Certification
Once the electrical connections were completed, the new distribution board and associated circuits were inspected and tested. Clear labels were applied to help the client identify each circuit and isolate the supply safely when required.
The appropriate electrical certification was then prepared for the completed installation.
The Result
The workshop now has a modern and clearly arranged three-phase distribution board serving its main-floor circuits. Improved protection, circuit identification and safety labelling make the installation easier to operate, inspect and maintain.
This project demonstrates how a carefully planned distribution-board replacement can improve the safety and reliability of an existing commercial electrical installation without unnecessarily replacing serviceable downstream equipment.

The Electric11 Commercial Distribution-board Replacement Process
Site and circuit assessment
We inspect the incoming supply, existing distribution equipment and outgoing circuits. This helps us establish the correct board specification and identify any additional work required.
Clear quotation and shutdown plan
We provide a detailed quotation and agree how the electrical shutdown will be managed around the property’s operational requirements.
Distribution-board replacement
The existing board is safely isolated and replaced. Circuits are reconnected to suitable protective devices and arranged with clear identification.
Testing, labelling and certification
The installation is inspected and tested before circuit schedules, isolation notices and safety labels are applied. The relevant electrical certification is then issued.
The main-floor DB2 was replaced with a modern 12-way three-phase Elucian Click distribution board.
The labelled circuits included the lathe, milling machine and 16A and 32A workshop socket outlets.
Yes. The completed installation and connected circuits were inspected and electrically tested before the relevant certification was prepared.
Replacement can provide modern circuit protection, clearer labelling, more straightforward isolation and an installation that is easier to inspect and maintain.
Yes. Electric11 provides commercial electrical installation, testing, fault-finding and distribution-board services in Attleborough and surrounding areas.
