The following are some differences between distribution cabinet installation in Southeast Asia and domestic:

First, regulations and standards

1. Electrical code differences:

- Southeast Asian countries have their own independent electrical installation codes and standard systems, and their allowable deviation range of voltage levels and specific requirements for grounding systems may be different from those in China. For example, in some Southeast Asian countries, the requirements for ground resistance may be more stringent to adapt to their special geographical and climatic conditions, such as high humidity, high salt coastal areas may require lower ground resistance to ensure good grounding effect.

- There are also differences in the selection criteria for electrical components in the distribution cabinet. Some electrical component models commonly used in China may not meet local standards in Southeast Asia, and products that meet local certification requirements need to be selected.

2. Safety certification system:

- Security certification bodies and certification processes in Southeast Asia are different from those in China. Products need to obtain a locally recognized safety certification mark before they can be sold and used on the market. For example, Malaysia has SIRIM certification, Indonesia has SNI certification, etc., and there are 3C certifications in China. These certifications differ in terms of certification standards, test items and certification cycles.

- Safety regulatory requirements during installation are also different. Some Southeast Asian countries may require installers to hold a specific local electrical installation license, while domestic mainly rely on relevant qualifications such as electrician certificates.

Second, environmental factors

1. Influence of climatic conditions:

- The climate in Southeast Asia is hot and humid, with severe weather such as heavy rain and typhoons. Therefore, in the selection of the installation location of the distribution cabinet, more attention should be paid to ventilation, heat dissipation and waterproof and moisture-proof measures. For example, the installation location may require a higher ground height to avoid flooding, as well as specialized heat dissipation equipment and moisture-proof materials such as moisture MATS and desiccant.

- High temperature environments require higher heat dissipation performance of electrical equipment. The design and installation of the PDC may require increasing the number of cooling fans or using more efficient cooling methods, such as heat pipe cooling, to ensure that the electrical components can operate properly at high temperatures.

2. Infrastructure differences:

- Different quality of electricity supply. In some parts of Southeast Asia, the power supply is unstable and the voltage fluctuation is large, which requires the distribution cabinet to have stronger voltage adaptability and voltage regulation function. Additional devices such as voltage stabilizers or power filters may need to be installed to protect electrical equipment from voltage fluctuations.

- Differences in building structure and layout will also affect the installation of the PDC. Some buildings in Southeast Asia may use different building materials and structural forms, and it is necessary to adopt a suitable installation and fixing method according to the actual situation, such as the need to use special fixed parts in wooden structure buildings to ensure the firm installation of the distribution cabinet.

Third, culture and habits

1. Operation and maintenance habits:

Operators and maintenance personnel in Southeast Asia may have different work habits and skill levels. These factors must be taken into account during the design and installation of the PDC. For example, the operation interface and signs may be in the local language and local customs for easy understanding and use by operators.

- Maintenance cycles and methods may vary. Some Southeast Asian countries may be due to resource and manpower constraints, the frequency of maintenance of the distribution cabinet is low, which requires the distribution cabinet to be designed with better reliability and self-diagnosis function, so that it can still operate normally in the case of long maintenance intervals.

2. Aesthetic and space requirements:

- Different cultural backgrounds lead to different aesthetic requirements for the appearance and installation position of the PDC. In some Southeast Asian countries, people may pay more attention to the coordination and beauty of the distribution cabinet with the surrounding environment, so it needs to be hidden or decorated in the building when installing, so as not to affect the overall building appearance.

- Space usage habits are also different. In some Southeast Asian regions, the layout of the building space may be relatively compact, and it is necessary to miniaturize the distribution cabinet or adopt a flexible installation method according to the actual space situation to adapt to the limited installation space.
