The KG MP 03 is a mounting plate from manufacturer Gustav Hensel, specifically designed for installation in distribution and meter enclosures, particularly for use with the KG 9003 model. As a KV-mounting plate, it serves as an insulating base for electrical components, ensuring safe and orderly installation. The product is made of hardboard, which is coated, thereby achieving enhanced mechanical stability and electrical insulation. The mounting plate is used in electrical installations where separation between conductive components and metallic enclosures is required to prevent short circuits or touch voltages.

Applications

The KG MP 03 is primarily intended for use in wet-room distribution enclosures, especially in installations executed according to ISO standards. It is mounted in electrical distributors, where it functions as an insulating plate between the enclosure and installed components such as fuses, switches, or meters. Use in wet-room environments requires material selection that is resistant to moisture and mechanical stress — the coated hardboard is suitable for this. The mounting plate is typically used in combination with the KG 9003 model, which serves as a distribution enclosure or meter box.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The mounting plate provides insulation between metallic enclosure parts and electrical components, thereby increasing electrical safety. The hardboard material is known for its high mechanical strength and electrical breakdown resistance, making it suitable for use in distributors. The coating improves surface quality and protects the material from external influences. The plate is dimensioned to fit precisely into the KG 9003 enclosure, enabling secure mounting of installed components. Installation is done by securing the plate to the designated mounting points of the enclosure.

Technology Explained Simply

The KV-mounting plate (KV = clamp connection) is a component used in electrical installations for insulation. The term KV refers to the type of mounting, where components are fixed using clamps or screws. The coated hardboard provides sufficient electrical insulation to prevent short circuits and is also robust enough to withstand mechanical stress. Insulation is particularly important when electrical components are mounted directly onto metallic enclosures, as otherwise there is a risk of touch voltage or short circuits. The mounting plate thus serves as an electrical separation mechanism.

Compatibility and Accessories

The KG MP 03 is specifically developed for the model KG 9003 and is used in this context. It is a precisely fitting mounting plate that is integrated into the enclosure. The mounting plate is delivered as a single unit without additional components such as fastening materials or instructions.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is done by inserting the plate into the KG 9003 enclosure at the designated position. Fastening is achieved using the mounting points provided in the enclosure, ensuring the plate is securely fixed to guarantee stable and safe positioning of mounted components. Installation is carried out before mounting electrical components to ensure proper insulation. No special tools or additional materials are required, as the mounting plate fits directly into the enclosure.

Advantages in Operation

Using the KG MP 03 increases electrical safety in the distributor, as it provides insulation between metallic enclosure parts and electrical components. The coated surface offers additional protection against contamination and mechanical damage. The mounting plate is easy to install and fits precisely into the KG 9003 enclosure, enabling quick and error-free installation. The use of hardboard as material provides sufficient mechanical strength and electrical insulation required for use in distributors. The mounting plate is therefore a reliable aid for the safe installation of electrical components in wet-room distribution enclosures.
