modular switchboard incomer: overview of the Merlin Gerin solutions

The NG125 range is the first to offer
protection specially designed for the modular
enclosure incomer. Combined with the
Distribloc splitter, it enables rapid production
of an "incomer" assembly providing users
with all the functions they require:
# extensive choice of indication functions for Schneider is thus the only manufacturer to
local or remote enclosure monitoring, propose a complete offer specifically
# rapid, safe intervention, designed for the modular enclosure incomer.
# a selective option for outgoers, providing
optimum continuity of supply.
