AS/NZS 61439 is a series of standards for low-voltage switchgear and control equipment components, helping to meet the portability needs between Australia and international suppliers. With the release of AS/NZS 3000 Amendment 2 (also known as "wiring rules"), it requires the use of AS/NZS 61439 series for switchboard components from May 2021.

How can you ensure that you are compliant?

NHP's CUBIC modular switchboard system and Concept switchboard will ensure you meet the new standards.

The NHP CUBIC modular system is based on the concept of efficient use of standard components to construct a customized switchboard to meet your individual project requirements.

As the only switchboard company independent of the switchgear brand, CUBIC is representative in the IEC committee, so it has a deep understanding of the new IEC 61439 standard.

The CUBIC modular switchboard system has the following advantages:

Concept switchboards provide value-added solutions based on standard Concept switchboard designs built to your specifications. NHP has a wide range of Concept switchboard models. If you need the switchboard urgently, you can quickly turn around.

NHP's XPD software allows these designs to be developed quickly, further reducing the turnaround time from inquiry to supply. Some standard off-the-shelf configurations include:

Stay within the design range

An important feature of the 61439 series of standards is to verify that the entire assembly meets the requirements. If you start to make additions or changes to the design, the person performing the work will be responsible for the changed design and need to ensure that the updated components meet the 61439 standard-the original manufacturer is no longer responsible.

For the Concept switchboard series, multiple additions or changes can be made to the catalog configuration so that the components still comply with the standard.
