Feeder Pillars
POLARIS Feeder Pillars are outdoor electrical distribution panels designed for safe and reliable power distribution in infrastructure projects, residential complexes, public utilities, and street lighting systems. These panels receive incoming power from the distribution transformer and distribute it to various outgoing feeders — all within a weatherproof, vandal-resistant enclosure. POLARIS Feeder Pillars are fabricated with powder-coated sheet steel or GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) enclosures rated IP44 to IP65 for protection against dust, rain, and corrosion. Each panel is equipped with incoming MCCBs or fuse switches, outgoing MCBs or fuse units, energy meters, and indication lamps. POLARIS designs feeder pillars as per customer specifications and applicable IS/DISCOM standards for outdoor distribution applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Feeder Pillar Panel and where is it used?
A Feeder Pillar Panel is a weatherproof outdoor electrical distribution panel that receives power from a distribution transformer and distributes it to street lights, residential connections, or infrastructure loads. It is commonly used in township projects, highways, industrial parks, and utility distribution networks.
What enclosure materials are available for POLARIS Feeder Pillars?
POLARIS offers Feeder Pillars in powder-coated sheet steel enclosures for industrial zones and Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) enclosures for coastal or corrosive environments. Both options provide IP55 or IP65 protection against rain, dust, and moisture.
What protection devices are included in POLARIS Feeder Pillars?
POLARIS Feeder Pillars include MCCBs or fuse switches for incoming protection and MCBs or rewireable fuse units for outgoing circuits. Earth leakage protection (ELCB/RCCB) and surge protection devices can also be incorporated based on project requirements.
Can POLARIS design feeder pillars as per DISCOM specifications?
Yes. POLARIS designs and manufactures Feeder Pillar Panels as per the technical specifications and standards set by regional DISCOMs, BESCOMs, or utility authorities. We ensure proper metering, sealing, and approval-ready documentation for utility-sanctioned projects.
How are POLARIS Feeder Pillars protected against vandalism?
POLARIS Feeder Pillars use tamper-proof screws, lockable doors with padlock provisions, and robust sheet steel or GRP enclosures to resist vandalism and unauthorised access. Indication lamps and sealed cable entries add another layer of protection for outdoor installations.
