What is a Feeder Pillar Cabinet?
A feeder pillar cabinet is a secure outdoor enclosure that houses electrical distribution equipment. Sometimes referred to as a power distribution pillar or service pillar, it provides a safe and accessible point to manage, protect and isolate electrical circuits. Feeder pillars are commonly used where electricity needs to be distributed to multiple supplies, such as street lighting, car parks, industrial sites and public spaces.
Features & Specifications
Every installation has its own requirements, but quality feeder pillars typically offer:
• IP Ratings – Cabinets are designed to meet high ingress protection standards (commonly IP54, IP55 or above), ensuring reliable performance against dust, dirt and water.
• Ventilation & Cooling – Options for natural or forced ventilation prevent overheating and maintain the longevity of electrical components.
• Security & Access – Lockable doors, anti-vandal features and restricted access systems help protect against tampering or unauthorised entry.
• Material & Construction – Manufactured from robust galvanised steel, stainless steel or aluminium, with a durable powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance. Cabinets are available in root-mounted or surface-mounted formats depending on site conditions.
Function & Applications
Feeder pillar cabinets serve several key functions:
• Electrical Distribution – A safe hub for distributing power to multiple circuits or end-points.
• Protection – Safeguards electrical systems with integrated switchgear, fuses and circuit breakers.
• Isolation – Provides a secure way to isolate power supplies for maintenance or emergencies.
• Common Uses – Widely used for street lighting, EV charging infrastructure, rail and highways projects, industrial estates, sports facilities and commercial developments.
