NLB series monobloc concrete kiosks, manufactured from C35 concrete according to the TEDAŞ MYD/2000-36.A specification, are designed for use in secondary distribution systems up to 36 kV, housing modular switchgears and other medium voltage switching and distribution products in open areas.
In production since 2014, our monobloc concrete kiosks are economical, reliable and aesthetic, and are designed for fast installation and easy commissioning.
Features
Kiosks consist of a high voltage switching section, a medium voltage distribution transformer section and a low voltage distribution panel section. Each section has its own independent access doors and ventilation louvres.
Advantages of the system:
- No foundation required on any type of ground
- Suitable for the minimum bending radius of 36 kV single-core 240 mm² cable
- Maximum operator safety in case of internal arc
- Compact and aesthetic structure, easy transport
- Wide range of solutions for projects
- High quality assured by factory testing
Exteriors are painted as standard in RAL 5800 with silicone-based textured exterior paint; different colour options are offered to match site plans. The cable gallery at the bottom of the kiosk allows cable entry and exit in any direction and quantity through reinforced knock-out openings.
Structural Properties
The design and manufacture of the monobloc concrete kiosk takes into account the most demanding operating conditions, with pressure resistance and seismic calculations. Section dimensions are determined according to the recommendations of LV switchgear and transformer manufacturers and the relevant specifications, observing the required safety clearances.
- 220 V lighting installation is standard in all sections
- Live and moving parts are protected against dust and water per IEC 60529; the kiosk is waterproof and ventilation panels are rated IP 23
- Lifting pins at all four corners for safe handling
- Underground parts are coated with insulating material
- Expanded aluminium mesh on ventilation doors resists impacts from inside and outside
- All metal parts are bonded to the equipotential busbar; the external earthing connection is made on site by the user
- Doors in custom sizes are available for special projects
Kiosks are dispatched after the routine tests specified in the relevant standards. Type tests performed in accredited laboratories demonstrate resistance to internal arc faults.

Handling and Unloading
- A crane with at least twice the kiosk weight capacity must be used
- Remember that lifting capacity decreases as the crane arm extends
- Insert the lifting pins fully into the holes on the four corners before attaching the crane ropes (chains)
- Place the kiosk on the prepared foundation base without shaking
- Roofs are removable; use the roof lifting pins
- Review the handling and operating instructions provided inside the kiosk
