what backing board to use

[mobile_mouse]

Hi,
I am interested to know what backing board I should use to mount the DC and AC isolators and the inverter (Soladin 600).

I understand it needs to be fireproof.

cheers,

We use sheets of paxolin. Its fireproof and provides a nice finish also.

I thought paxolin was pretty expensive. Where do you buy from?

We use masterboard, available from most goof builders merchants 8 x 4 about £50, does quite a few jobs though as you can simply put it behind the inverter etc, so not much needed.

The core part of our business is an electrical contractors, therefore we can obtain highly competitive rates from our electrical wholesalers when buying in bulk. (we use a lot on distribution boards etc)

In comparison to other products, it is slightly more expensive still, but we not what we get with paxolin and like the finish it gives.
