The Difference Between Plastic Power Distribution Box and Socket Box

In everyday life, the most common plastics are mainly: PP, PC, ABS, PA, PET, etc., among which the plastics used for switch sockets and distribution boxes are mainly PC and ABS.

Introduction to Plastic Power Distribution Box

Generally, high-quality plastic power distribution boxes will use PC as the panel material. Its characteristics such as fire resistance, long-lasting use without yellowing, aesthetics, and durability make it stand out among these plastics. Looking at the market, most brands use ABS for the face cover. When used for a long time, it not only tends to yellow but also significantly reduces safety, posing certain safety hazards.

Plastic power socket boxes and plastic power distribution boxes are commonly used power supply equipment in industries. The names of the two are quite similar, and people often confuse the concepts. In fact, there are essential differences between power socket boxes and distribution boxes, mainly reflected in the following three aspects:

Different Structure

The structure of plastic power distribution boxes and socket boxes is different. Due to the special nature of the usage sites, plastic power distribution boxes adopt a closed structure. The interior mainly consists of leakage protection circuit breakers, air switches, measuring instruments, transfer switches, and other protective electrics and auxiliary equipment, but the socket boxes are completely different. Socket boxes are all sockets, their sealing performance is not as good as plastic power distribution boxes, and wires are usually less exposed.

Different Functions

Socket boxes are used to place sockets, mainly to supply power to electrical equipment, while plastic power distribution boxes are used to distribute electric energy in the power system and to provide protection in case of a fault. These two functions are essentially different.

Different Installation Locations

Plastic power distribution boxes can be installed indoors or outdoors in harsh environments, and the installation position is near the main circuit breaker. Power socket boxes are mainly used for indoor power line socket equipment or communication line socket equipment, which can be fixed inside walls or moved on the ground.
