5 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1(temporary) site distribution board Explanation: I am quite sure about what it IS; I'm just not that sure about what (if anything) it is called in English. I would definitely call it a dis. board rather than a panel (given its temporary nature, as well as its function) Depending on exactly how much 'padding' you can take, and how much explanation is needed, you might make it 'temporary works OR building site distribution board' But a more 'official' term may well exist, I just haven't ever come across it myself, I'm afraid.. |

peer agreement (net): +1In doubt as to what Explanation: this "tableau" actually is, I'd go for Dusty's suggestion. But to complicate matters, consider the following from voL 4 of Chudley's "Construction Technology" [Longman Sci & Tech], from the chapter on "Electricity on Building Sites": <<The equipment which can be used to distirbute an elelctrical supply around a construction site is as follows: 1. Supply incoming unit (SIU) - supply, control, and distrbution of mains supply on site - accommodates supply board's equipment and has one outgoing circuit 2. - Main distribution unit (MDU) - control and distribution of mains supply for circuits of 415V three-^phase and 240V single-phase. 3. Supply incoming and distribution unit (SIDU) - a combined SIU and MDU for use on sites where it is possible to locate these units together. ... and the list goes on. |
