Recommendation & Amperage Selection Guide
Choosing the correct variant avoids power failures and matches the load requirements of your building grid:
- 20A DP Variant (Article Code: 5078 14): Best for standard high-draw single-phase household appliances. Ideal applications include dedicated terminal isolation boxes for 1.5 Ton to 2 Ton Air Conditioners (ACs), high-capacity bathroom storage geysers (water heaters), kitchen microwave loops, and domestic water pumps
- 32A TP Variant (Article Code: 5078 18): Best for heavy-duty three-phase industrial or commercial appliance networks. Ideal applications include commercial multi-compressor central air systems, large three-phase submersible water pumps, printing machinery, packaging lines, and industrial kitchen ovens

1) Does this Ekinox³ Metra enclosure come pre-fitted with an MCB inside?
No, the distribution enclosure is delivered as a heavy-duty box housing the integrated plug and socket structure. It provides a clean, open 2-module or 3-module wide DIN slot, allowing you or your electrician to choose and clip in the matching Legrand MCB or RCBO protection rating required for your machine.
2) What type of modular protection devices can be mounted inside?
The interior mounting array accepts any standard Legrand DX³ modular safety product, including standard Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs), Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCBs), or combined RCBO safety units.
3) Can the 32A TP model be wired for a standard single-phase residential connection?
No. The 32A TP model (5078 18) features a 3P+E (3 Pole + Earth) phase array layout designed specifically to manage three-phase commercial inputs. For standard residential lines, the 20A DP (2P+E) single-phase layout is the correct selection.
4) Is this metal enclosure safe from rusting in damp outdoor areas?
Legrand coats the Ekinox³ metallic chassis with an industrial-grade, anti-corrosive powder finish. While it provides excellent rust protection for indoor high-humidity zones like kitchens and bathrooms, for open areas exposed to direct heavy rainfall, a weather-tight box configuration is recommended.
5) Which variant should I choose for my equipment?
Choose the 20A DP variant for standard single-phase household appliances like ACs, geysers, and water pumps. Choose the 32A TP variant for heavy-duty three-phase industrial or commercial equipment like compressors, submersible pumps, and packaging lines.
