Chilean Lighting Distribution Box Dimensions

Typical lighting distribution boxes in Chile range from compact 1-way units to larger 36-way units, with dimensions varying by model and mounting type.

Standard Dimensions and Types

Residential and small commercial boxes often follow the YCX6 or C6 series specifications:

• Material: Plastic cover with metal box or fully plastic for indoor use .
• Mounting: Flush-mounted (inside wall) or surface-mounted (on wall surface), .
• Voltage and Current Ratings: Nominal voltage up to 380V AC, total input load up to 125A, with short-circuit protection devices rated up to 63A . Dimensions vary depending on the number of ways (circuits) and model:
• Small units (1–6 ways): Approx. 200–300 mm height, 150–250 mm width, 80–120 mm depth .
• Medium units (8–12 ways): Approx. 300–400 mm height, 250–350 mm width, 100–150 mm depth .
• Large units (up to 36 ways): Can reach 600–800 mm height, 400–600 mm width, 150–200 mm depth . Cable entry and exit: Holes are designed to accommodate cables up to 3x25+54.6 mm² for outgoing circuits and 3x35+54.6 mm² for incoming circuits, with PVC or rubber grommets for protection . Additional Features:
• Doors open at least 120° with spring lock systems .
• Internal bus bars and neutral/earth copper bars are included for proper distribution .
• Boxes comply with local electrical safety standards and are suitable for single-phase or three-phase installations .

Practical Considerations

When selecting a lighting distribution box in Chile:

• Choose the number of ways based on the total circuits required.
• Verify mounting type (flush or surface) to match wall construction.
• Ensure cable entry sizes are compatible with your wiring.
• Confirm material and IP rating for indoor or outdoor use. These specifications provide a reliable reference for typical Chilean lighting distribution boxes used in residential and commercial installations .
