A Single-sided distribution cabinet is an electrotechnical device designed for receiving, distributing, and protecting electrical power in low- and medium-voltage networks.
Main Characteristics and Purpose
The single-sided distribution cabinet is a key element of the power supply system, ensuring stable and safe distribution of electricity among consumers. It receives alternating current, redistributes it, and protects the electrical network from overloads and short circuits.
Due to its versatility, the single-sided cabinet is used in industrial facilities, in commercial complexes, and in residential buildings where a high reliability of power supply is required. The distribution cabinet complies with NP 06.2.141-2008, is classified as a normal operation element, and belongs to safety class 3N, which makes it (just like a Package Transformer Substation (PTS) an optimal choice for critical facilities.

The single-sided distribution cabinet is a reliable solution for power distribution, safety, ease of maintenance, and operational flexibility.
Radiy Industrial Electrical Cabinets: Capabilities
- Single-sided servicing – all control and connection elements are accessible from one side, which simplifies installation and maintenance.
- Power distribution – used for connecting various electricity consumers, including industrial, commercial, and residential facilities.
- Electrical network protection – equipped with switching devices (circuit breakers, fuses) to prevent emergencies such as overloads and short circuits.
Technical Advantages of Single-Sided Distribution Cabinets
1. Importance for the Energy Sector
Due to single-sided access, the cabinet occupies minimal space and can be installed in narrow rooms.
2. High Reliability and Safety
Equipped with protective devices (circuit breakers, fuses, protection relays) that prevents short circuits, overloads, and leakage currents.
It may feature a protection rating of IP31 – IP54, ensuring resistance to dust and moisture.
3. Advanced Control Technologies
Built-in systems for monitoring voltage, current, frequency, and power parameters.
Capability for remote control and monitoring (automation) through specialized systems.
4. Resistance to Industrial Conditions
Made from durable materials (metal with anti-corrosion coating), ensuring long service life.
Capable of operating under elevated temperatures, vibration, and other adverse conditions.
5. Energy-Efficient Systems
Minimizes energy losses due to high-quality conductive components and optimal load distribution.
