PANELBOARD PROTECTION ON A GLOBAL SCALE

INTRODUCTION

WHY APPLETON PANELBOARDS?

No matter what environment, location or power
requirement, Appleton panelboards have you and
your facility covered.

From a petrochemical plant in Saudi Arabia to a grain processing
facility in America’s heartland, Appleton’s panelboards are there,
providing protection and control of electrical apparatus and circuits in
hazardous, damp, wet or corrosive environments according to NEC,
CEC, IEC and ATEX standards. Appleton’s complete range of designs,

materials and options - from factory sealed to non-factory sealed and
increased safety to  ameproof - help ensure you have the  exibility to
make the perfect panelboard choice.

Now there’s another innovative panelboard to add to your selection set.
Appleton’s PowerPlex™ Panelboard o ers component-level protection
by transferring the  amepath from the enclosure to individual circuit
breaker housings. It also o ers the ultimate in convenience with  eld­replaceable breakers.

We know what you need from a panelboard: protection, durability,
ease of installation and low maintenance costs. We build all of it in,
so we can keep earning your trust year after year.
