Engineered Switchboards

About:


Bruce Harper (+50 years of experience) and Ivan Mamic (+30 years of experience) (Directors of the company) founded pen Enterprises Pty Ltd trading as Engineered Switchboards in 1994.
Engineered Switchboards Engineers and Designers have a combined experience of approximately 135 years.
We believe our success in what proved a very competitive market can be attributed to persistence in providing quality in our products and support at the best possible price, consistency and on time.

Engineered Switchboards:

  • Electrical System Design
  • Switchboard Manufacturing
  • Type Testing to 65ka Forms 1 to 4 to AS3439-1
  • Member of ASCA Network of Manufactures
  • Power Factor Correction 
  • Member of ‘the Hub’ Schneider
Engineered Switchboards has the capability to manufacture electrical enclosures from main switchboards to small sub-boards it has an engineering design team which can under take difficult projects through the use of the following technologies.
  • CAD Design
  • Guillotining
  • Brake Pressing
  • MIG, TIG and spot welding
Engineered Switchboards is an accredited member of the ASCA switchboard building network and in conjunction with in house quality control procedures and practices , strive to deliver a quality product to meet our customers high standard of requirement . 

What is ASCA ?
Australian Switch and control assemblies

Why was ASCA set up ?
It gave switchboard manufactures a huge input into MCC & switchboard design based in their requirements 
a collective group which could tender on the international market for jobs that would be to huge for any one manufacturer.
Purchasing power on some common items etc.

Arc fault containment “form 3b and form 4 range of low voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies have been extensively type tested by Testing and Certification Australia to comply with the requirements of AS/NZS3439.1 1993 APP EE and AS/NZS3439.1 2002”

“Signature SE is our switchboard building system for Low Voltage Switchboards and Motor Control Centres that fully complies with AS/NZS 3439.1-2002”.

“Comprehensive range of ASTA type test certificates includes all seven type tests. These tests include:

  • verification of temperature rise limits

  • verification of dielectric properties

  • verification of short circuit withstand strength

  • verification of continuity of protective circuit

  • verification of clearances and creepage distances

  • verification of mechanical operation

  • verification of degree of protection

In addition to the above test additional testing has been undertaken to prove the ability of Signature SE to withstand the effects of internal arcing fault test”.
