Taking skeleton design into the 21st century
MK Electric has developed the Sentry range of skeleton units to bring 21st century safety standards and design to social housing. Skeleton boards are spine backplate assemblies that fit within a Mantel or Clifton type enclosure - essentially a kind of metal ‘utilities' cupboard - that may also contain the meter.
The Sentry Skeleton range counters all the problems associated with skeleton boards, which are rarely used in new-build and only installed as part of refurbishment programmes, to offer a modern and easily installed unit that meets the highest safety regulations.
Importantly, flexible neutral bar configurations and a floating busbar system (one that can be cut according to the number of devices fitted) enables a wide combination of protected and unprotected circuits; as well as offer configuration flexibility depending on local authority requirements (be it split load/dual RCD/all RCBOs).
