In rural areas of Africa, there are common problems such as unstable voltage, power supply interruption, hot and humid climate, high demand for dust prevention, and limited maintenance resources. When choosing lighting electrical ready boards, priority should be given to adapting to the local environment, while considering safety, durability, and ease of operation. Specific measures can be taken from the following aspects.

Prioritize selecting enclosures that are compatible with voltage and power supply modes. In some rural areas of Africa, low voltage power supply and large voltage fluctuations require the use of electrical ready boards with rated voltage of 220V/380V and overvoltage/undervoltage protection functions. Sometimes, surge protection modules are also used to avoid damage to household appliances caused by sudden voltage changes.

Pay attention to protective performance and adapt to climate and environment. African rural areas often experience high temperatures, heavy rain, or sandstorms. The enclosure should have a protection level of IP54 or above, with dust, water, and corrosion resistance capabilities. The material should preferably be thickened cold-rolled steel plate (spray treated) or flame-retardant PC plastic, which can resist moisture corrosion and withstand high temperature exposure without deformation. The sealing performance of the box should be good to prevent mosquitoes and dust from entering the interior and causing short circuits.

Simplify configuration while considering expansion needs. The lighting load of rural households is simple, and the internal components of the electrical ready board are mainly air switches (circuit breakers), which are configured according to lighting and socket branching, without the need for complex modules, making it easy for local villagers to understand and maintain. At the same time, 1-2 backup branches should be reserved to meet the demand for new household appliances in the future. Components should be selected from brands with strong universality, making it easy to purchase replacement parts locally.

Balancing installation and operational convenience. Most rural houses in Africa have simple structures, and wall mounted and compact electrical ready boards are chosen. The installation location should avoid direct sunlight and rainwater erosion. The box design should have clear markings, intuitive switch operation, avoid complex wiring, and can be equipped with leakage protection switches to reduce the risk of electric shock and adapt to the current situation of rural households lacking professional electricians.
