Iraq makes electrical distribution boxes

Iraq manufactures a range of electrical distribution boxes domestically through several specialized companies.

Iraq has a growing domestic industry for electrical distribution equipment, including low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) distribution boxes, panels, and kiosk substations. Companies such as IPDCO produce low-voltage circuit breakers, capacitors, switchgears, and multi-purpose meter boxes designed for 400/230V, 3-phase, 4-wire systems, compliant with international standards like IEC 60947 and IEC 60439, and Iraqi standards D20 & D14 . These products are used in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical networks. Twanist Company, based in Erbil, manufactures LV distribution boards, RMUs, kiosk transformers, and power control panels. Their factory produces panels of various types and sizes, and the company also provides assembly and installation services for substations, overhead transmission lines, and underground cables . Twanist collaborates with international suppliers and integrates components from countries such as France, Turkey, China, and South Korea. Dar Alataa, located in Baghdad, operates a 4,000-square-meter factory equipped with advanced machinery for metal sheet forming and thermal powder coating. The company produces complete or empty electrical panels and kiosk substations, offering tailored solutions while adhering to ISO 9001 quality standards and international norms . Their products include LV and MV panels, ensuring safe and reliable electricity distribution. While Iraq also imports electrical distribution boxes and related components, domestic production is well-established, with companies capable of supplying a wide range of products for urban and industrial electrical infrastructure . These locally manufactured boxes support the country's energy distribution needs and reduce reliance on imports, contributing to the development of Iraq's electrical industry.
