Feeder Pillar Unit
Street and distribution feeder pillar for low voltage distribution positions
Product Overview
A feeder pillar is the cabinet where a low voltage distribution circuit is split, protected and made accessible for switching and maintenance. It sits at the street or site boundary between the distribution network and the loads it feeds, which means it spends its whole life outdoors and still has to be safe to open in the rain.
Key Benefits
- Concentrates protection and distribution for several ways into one accessible position
- Outdoor enclosure for street and site boundary installation
- Configured by way count and rating against the position it serves
- Supplied with the fuse bases and links that go into it
Problems It Solves

How is a feeder pillar configured
By the number of ways and the rating on each. Send the distribution design or the arrangement you are replacing and it is quoted against that.
Do fuse links come with the pillar
They can be, and ordering them together is the simpler route - the link then matches the installed base from day one.
Can you match an existing pillar arrangement
Send photographs and the existing arrangement details and we will confirm what matches.
