Transco SB12WP 12 Way Weatherproof Surface Mount Switchboard IP55

Description

12 Way Weatherproof Switchboard. Surface Mount. Maximum Circuit Capacity.

The Transco SB12WP is an IP55 rated 12 way weatherproof surface mount switchboard enclosure — the largest capacity option in the Transco weatherproof switchboard range, built for outdoor, exposed, and wet area electrical installations where a full-size protected sub-board is required. Rated up to 100A at 240/415V AC, with a fire and UV resistant ABS body and UV resistant transparent polycarbonate lid. Accommodates DIN rail mounted MCBs, RCBOs, MCDs, and other DIN rail devices up to 12 modules. Sold as enclosure only — circuit protection devices sold separately.

Where the SB12WP Fits — Full Capacity Weatherproof Sub-Board for Outdoor Applications

The SB12WP is the full-capacity option in the Transco weatherproof switchboard range — 12 DIN rail module positions give it the capacity for a complete sub-board configuration in an outdoor or exposed location. A typical 12 module sub-board might include a main switch, multiple MCBs for lighting and power circuits, and one or more RCBOs for wet area and earth leakage protection — all housed in a single IP55 rated enclosure that can be surface mounted directly on any wall type. The transparent polycarbonate lid allows the status of all installed devices to be checked at a glance without opening the enclosure.

IP55 protection means the SB12WP is dust protected and resistant to water jets from any direction — making it suitable for outdoor walls, construction sites, caravan parks, sporting facilities, rural installations, and any other location where a full sub-board needs to be weather protected. The fire and UV resistant ABS body handles long-term outdoor exposure without degrading or becoming brittle. At L272 x W215 x H100mm, the SB12WP has the largest footprint in the range but remains a compact solution compared to indoor switchboard equivalents requiring weatherproof enclosure modifications.

The SB12WP is the 12 way option at the top of the Transco weatherproof switchboard range. The same enclosure is available in 4 way (SB04WP, L126 x W215 x H100mm) and 6 way (SB06WP, L163 x W215 x H100mm) for installations requiring fewer module positions. All three variants share the same IP55 rating, ABS body construction, and surface mount format. Circuit protection devices — MCBs, RCBOs, and main switches — are sold separately and must be specified to suit the circuits being protected.

Q: What circuit protection devices are compatible with the Transco SB12WP?
A: The SB12WP accommodates standard DIN rail mounted circuit protection devices including MCBs, RCBOs, MCDs, main switches, and other standard DIN rail devices up to 12 module widths total. Devices are sold separately and must be specified to suit the circuits and load requirements of the installation.

Q: What does the IP55 rating mean for the Transco SB12WP switchboard?
A: IP55 means the SB12WP is dust protected (first digit 5 — no harmful dust ingress) and protected against water jets from any direction (second digit 5). This makes it suitable for outdoor, construction site, and wet area installations where the enclosure will be exposed to rain, dust, and weather but not high-pressure hosing.

Q: How many circuits can the Transco SB12WP house?
A: The SB12WP accommodates up to 12 DIN rail module widths. A typical configuration might include a 2-module main switch and up to 10 single-module MCBs or RCBOs, or a mix of single and double module devices. The exact number of circuits depends on the module width of the circuit protection devices specified.
