Basic of Electrical Feeder Pillar

An Electrical Feeder Pillar, also known as a power box or distribution pillar, is an enclosure used to house electrical distribution equipment. It acts as a central point for controlling and distributing electrical power to multiple outgoing circuits safely and efficiently.

AAVAD Instrument Pvt. Ltd. designs and manufactures robust Feeder Pillars that ensure secure power distribution for residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure applications.

What is the Need for an Electrical Feeder Pillar?

A feeder pillar serves as a common distribution point that channels electricity downstream through feeder pillar distribution boards. This arrangement ensures:

• Protection of individual circuits

• Easy control and isolation of power supply

• Safe distribution for multiple loads

Feeder pillars are commonly installed on roadsides to control electricity supply to residential areas. They are also widely used for single-unit loads, low-voltage connections, and complex circuits in commercial buildings, residential complexes, solar installations, and infrastructure projects.

What Are Its Components?

A feeder pillar typically resembles a steel enclosure cabinet mounted on a solid concrete or steel base. Depending on application, the enclosure may be single-walled or double-walled.

Standard components include:

• Energy meters

• Selector switches

• MCCB / MCB / circuit breakers

• Service fuses

• Surge protection devices

• Instrument panels with voltmeters and ammeters

These components ensure safe operation, monitoring, and protection of electrical distribution systems.
