Electric Outer Box

Types of Electric Boxes Available in Bangladesh

Choosing the correct box is vital for the safety and longevity of your electrical work. Here are the most common types.

Junction Boxes for Secure Connections

A junction box is a protective enclosure used to house electrical wire splices and connections. Available in Bangladesh in materials like high-impact PVC (plastic) and sturdy metal, these boxes prevent short circuits and protect connections from physical damage and environmental factors.

MCB Distribution Boards

The MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) distribution board is the heart of a building's electrical safety system. This box houses the circuit breakers that protect individual circuits from overloads. We offer various sizes, from small 4-way boards for simple applications to larger 12-way or 16-way boards for complete home or office wiring.

Weatherproof Outdoor Boxes

For any external application in Bangladesh—be it for a water pump, outdoor lighting, or a generator switch—a weatherproof box is non-negotiable. These enclosures feature secure seals and high IP (Ingress Protection) ratings to shield connections from heavy monsoon rains, high humidity, and dust, preventing dangerous electrical failures.

How to Choose the Right Electric Box

Consider these key factors before making your purchase:

• Application (Indoor vs. Outdoor): The most critical factor. Any box installed outdoors or in a damp location like a bathroom must be a certified weatherproof model to prevent moisture damage and ensure safety.
• Material (Plastic vs. Metal): PVC or plastic boxes are rust-proof, non-conductive, and widely used for residential wiring. Metal boxes offer superior durability, are fire-resistant, and are often used in commercial or industrial settings.
• Size and Capacity: Select a box that is large enough to comfortably accommodate all wires and devices without overcrowding. For an MCB board, count the number of circuits you need to protect and choose a board with a few extra slots for future expansion.

Common Questions About Electrical Boxes

1. What is an MCB box? An MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) box, also known as a distribution board, is an enclosure that holds all the circuit breakers for a property. Its job is to protect your electrical appliances and wiring from damage caused by an overload or short circuit.

2. Do I need a weatherproof box for a covered balcony in Bangladesh? Yes, it is highly recommended. Even in semi-covered areas, the high humidity and driving rain common in Bangladesh's climate can expose electrical connections to moisture. A weatherproof box provides crucial protection against corrosion and potential short circuits.

3. What is the main difference between a PVC and a metal junction box? PVC (plastic) boxes are lightweight, will not rust, and are non-conductive, making them a very safe and common choice for modern homes. Metal boxes are more robust, fire-resistant, and are typically used with metal conduits in industrial or commercial installations.
