General Lighting Power Dbs

The document provides specifications for general lighting power distribution boards (DBs) and main distribution boards. It lists requirements such as: maximum width and height dimensions for general lighting DBs; safety plates and gland plates being required; and terminal blocks needing to be used for DBs with over 24 circuits. It also outlines specifications for main distribution boards, including ensuring Form 3b compartmentalization; showing neutral and earth bus bars; and providing sufficient cable management space.
