Switchboards

Switchboards Built for Intensive Livestock Operations

The Electrical Heart of the Facility

Switchboards are the control centre of every poultry, egg and pig farm. They distribute power, protect infrastructure and form the interface between grid supply, backup generation and automation systems.

In livestock environments, switchboard reliability directly impacts animal welfare and production continuity.

FarmPower delivers switchboards engineered specifically for intensive livestock conditions — not generic industrial boards adapted after the fact.

Designed for Harsh Environments

Livestock facilities expose electrical infrastructure to:

  • Dust and airborne contaminants
  • Moisture and washdown exposure
  • Corrosive atmospheres
  • Continuous duty cycles


FarmPower designs switchboards with robust enclosure selection, logical internal layout, clear segregation of power and control circuits and accessibility for maintenance.

Durability and serviceability are engineered into every board.

Aligned With Real Load Profiles

Switchboards in livestock environments support:

  • Ventilation
  • Fans
  • Winching
  • Lighting
  • Cooling
  • Heating
  • Feeding
  • Conveyors
  • Pumps
  • Alarm and monitoring systems
  • Backup generators

We design protection coordination and busbar sizing around real operating behaviour — including motor starting currents and seasonal demand spikes.

Integration Across the Electrical Ecosystem

FarmPower switchboards integrate with:

  • Main grid supply
  • Automatic transfer switches
  • Solar and battery systems
  • Power factor correction systems
  • Active harmonic filters
  • Climate and automation controllers


This ensures stable operation during supply transitions and prevents nuisance tripping or cascading outages.

Scalable for Growth

Livestock facilities often expand.

FarmPower switchboards are designed with allowance for future circuits, spare capacity where practical and structured layout for expansion.

We build infrastructure that supports long-term development.
