The timeframe to manufacture a switchboard can vary significantly based on several factors, including the complexity of the switchboard, customisation requirements, availability of materials, production processes, and the workload of the manufacturing facility. Here’s a quick overview of the typical timeline involved in making a switchboard:

1.Design Phase (1-2 weeks):

Before any physical work begins, planning and designing work is essential. This phase involves assessing the electrical requirements of the building or facility, determining the optimal layout for the switchboard, customisation, compliance with safety standards and regulations, ordering materials (e.g. sheet metal), and selecting the appropriate components like circuit breakers, fuses, and meters. Depending on the complexity, the design phase can take a few days to several weeks.

2. Fabrication and Assembly (4-8 weeks):

Once the design is finalised, the fabrication and assembly stage commences. Skilled technicians and electricians work together to build the design, by cutting and assembling the metal enclosure, mounting electrical components, and wiring the switchboard according to the schematic diagram. This stage can take a few days for a smaller switchboard to several weeks for a larger, more intricate system.

 3. Testing and Quality Assurance (1-2 weeks):

Before deployment, testing and quality assurance procedures are conducted to ensure the switchboard functions flawlessly and adheres to safety standards. This phase involves conducting electrical tests, checking for potential faults or malfunctions, and verifying that all components are installed and functioning as intended. Depending on the complexity of the switchboard and the extent of testing required, this phase can take several days to a couple of weeks.

Overall, the time required to make an electrical switchboard can take approximately 12 -20 weeks, depending on the complexity of the switchboard, customisation requirements, and the production capacity of the manufacturing facility. It’s important to note that this timeline is a general estimate, and actual timelines may vary based on specific project details and circumstances.
