Flat Pack
As an innovative element Siemens has introduced a new deliv-
ery option for the ALPHA distribution board product range.
FLAT PACK means that the distribution boards are delivered as
single parts together with their mounting accessories, screws
and mounting instructions in a single cardboard box.
This package has been designed to take up less room in the
store. This means greatly reduced overall dimensions. The
height of each individual package is 75 mm. The individual
components can be assembled quickly, either on the wall or on
a bench. All you need is a screwdriver. The advantages are
clearly visible: time saving and less space needed on the
shelves.
