Benin Lighting Distribution Box Dimensions and Specifications

Fiber and communications infrastructure knowledge brief Published 20 Apr 2025

Prepared for preliminary research by the ROGER FIBRE knowledge desk. Confirm optical interfaces, port or core capacity, electrical input and output, enclosure protection, thermal design and installation limits against current standards and product documentation.

Lighting distribution boxes in Benin typically follow low-voltage standards with rated currents from 1000A to 3150A, IP30–IP55 protection, and are designed for indoor or outdoor use depending on the model.

General Specifications

Type and Rated Current: GGD-type AC low-voltage distribution panels are commonly used, with three serial types: GGD1 (1000A), GGD2 (1600A), and GGD3 (up to 3150A) for power conversion, distribution, and control in AC 50Hz systems with 400V rated voltage. Protection Level: Indoor cabinets typically have IP30 protection.

Outdoor L

T distribution boxes are designed for IP55 protection, ensuring weather and vermin resistance. Material and Construction: Outdoor boxes are fabricated from 2 mm GI sheet steel with reinforced channels and slanted roofs with 50 mm overhangs for water runoff. Doors feature concealed hinges and Godrej-type 3-position locking systems for security.

Bus Bars and Circuit Protection: Bus bars are made of copper flat bars (25x4 mm) with insulated tubing or phase-colored paint for identification.

MCC

Bs and MCBs are installed for protection, with neutral unbalance protection and manual resetting options. Environmental Conditions: Indoor installation: ambient temperature -5°C to +40°C, average 24-hour temperature ≤ +35°C, relative humidity ≤ 50% at 40°C (higher at lower temperatures), altitude ≤ 2000 m. Outdoor boxes are weatherproof and suitable for secondary terminals of distribution transformers, with GPRS interface and energy monitoring options for advanced control.

Dimensions: Exact dimensions vary by manufacturer and rated current. Illustrative dimensions are provided in technical specifications with tolerances of ±10%, and custom dimensions can be specified based on installation requirements. Provision for internal lighting, cable glands, and earthing points is standard.

Standards Compliance: Compliant with GB7251. 1-2023 for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies.

MCC

Bs conform to IS: 13947 standards with type-test certificates from approved laboratories. Additional Features: Some boxes include energy meters, CTs, DC battery chargers, and GPRS controllers for remote monitoring and load management. Custom solutions are available from manufacturers like DOHO Electric, ensuring ISO 9001-certified quality and international standard compliance.

These specifications provide a comprehensive overview for selecting or designing lighting distribution boxes in Benin, ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance with local and international standards.
