The Heart of the Board: A Sparky's Guide to Active & Neutral Links

A professional switchboard isn't just a box of circuit breakers; it's a precisely organised power distribution system. At the core of this system are the termination points for your main active and neutral conductors. Using high-quality, compliant Active & Neutral Links is the key to a safe, reliable, and easy-to-work-on installation.

At SCHNAP, our comprehensive range of Active & Neutral Links delivers the rock-solid, professional-grade gear that Aussie sparkies count on for any switchboard, panelboard, or meter enclosure.

The Role of Link Bars in an Aussie Switchboard

These essential components act as a common connection point or busbar, allowing a single large incoming conductor to be distributed safely and neatly to multiple smaller sub-circuits.

• Active Links (Red): Used to terminate and distribute the active (phase or live) conductors within the board.
• Neutral Links (Black): Used to terminate the neutral conductors. In a standard Australian installation, the neutral link is also the critical point where the MEN (Multiple Earthed Neutral) connection is made, which is fundamental to the entire earthing system.

A Link for Every Application

Our range is built to handle any job, from a standard residential board to a heavy-duty industrial panel.

• High Amp Ratings: We stock links rated from 100A to 350A to suit your main switch and incoming cable capacity.
• Multiple Hole Configurations: Choose from a wide selection of 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, and 18-hole links to match the number of circuits in your installation.
