Request a QuoteShort answer
What makes an electrical materials quote comparable?
Electrical items are defined by numbers, and a quote without those numbers is a guess. Cable needs type, cross-section in mm² and core count; protective devices need rated current, breaking capacity in kA and tripping curve; residual current devices need the type letter (AC / A / F / B), which is the single most commonly omitted and most consequential field — an AC-type device on a circuit with drives, LED drivers or EV charging can be blinded by DC residual current and fail to trip. Luminaires are compared on lumens, not watts: the same wattage can differ by 40% in output. Where the environment matters, state the IP rating, and outdoors or where impact is likely, the IK rating too.
Scope: We supply materials in this category. We do not provide electrical installation, switchgear fabrication and luminaire mounting labour. Within İstanbul installation can be arranged on request and shown as a separate line in the quote. Beyond that — across all 81 provinces of Türkiye and on export shipments abroad — our commitment ends with delivery of the materials to the delivery point named on the quote, under the Incoterm agreed for export orders.
In electrical materials, the wrong product means a safety and compliance risk. AKSCO supplies specification-compliant products from recognised brands, with technical details — amperage, cross-section, protection class — stated clearly on the quote.
We work at every scale, from facility maintenance needs to lighting conversion projects such as LED transitions. For recurring consumables (fuses, terminals, tape, cable ties) a periodic replenishment plan can be established.

- Switchgear & automation

| Item group | Mandatory information | Commonly omitted | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cable | Type (NYY, NHXMH, H07RN-F), cross-section (mm²), number of cores | Whether it is priced per metre or per drum | A quote without the cross-section cannot be compared |
| Switchgear | Rated current (A), number of poles, breaking capacity (kA) | Mounting type (DIN rail / panel) | — |
| MCB / RCD | Rated current (A), sensitivity (30 mA / 300 mA) | Type (A / AC / F / B) | Type B is required on drives, PV inverters and EV charging circuits |
| Enclosures | Dimensions, IP rating, material (sheet steel / polyester) | Lock and mounting accessories | — |
| LED luminaire | Power (W), colour temperature (K), IP rating, mounting type | Luminous flux (lumens) | The same wattage can give very different lumens; compare on lumens, not watts |
| Sockets and switches | Range, colour, mounting (flush / surface) | Whether the frame is included | — |
Where the installation environment matters, state the IP and, for outdoor or impact-exposed positions, the IK rating in the request — it changes the product, not just the price.
The items in this category are part of a pool of 48 listed items here, published together with every other category on the A to Z supply list — each with a short technical description and the unit it is ordered in. The same list is downloadable as a brand-free technical specification in Word and a unit-price schedule in Excel. That pool is a starting point rather than a boundary: items outside it are quoted the same way, from their measurable specification.

Not a catalogue — a scope indicator. If an item you need is not listed, it is almost certainly still within scope; send the description and we will price it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are products certified?
Yes, the electrical materials we supply comply with the relevant standards; certificates are attached to the quote on request.
Can you quote against our BoQ?
Yes. Upload your Excel or PDF list with the form or send it by e-mail; we prepare a line-by-line priced quote.
Why does the RCD type letter matter?
The type letter defines which waveform of residual current the device can detect. Type AC sees only sinusoidal AC. Circuits feeding variable speed drives, UPS units, LED drivers or EV charging can produce DC residual components that blind a Type AC device — the fault current is present and the device does not trip. Those circuits need at least Type A, and in some cases Type F or B. Replacing a device with the wrong type effectively removes the protection.
Should luminaires be compared on watts or lumens?
On lumens, and on efficacy (lumens per watt). Two 40 W LED panels can differ by 40% in output, and the lower-output one will look cheaper per unit while requiring more fittings to reach the same illuminance. Where the target is a regulated illuminance level, ask for the luminous flux, the beam distribution and, for emergency lighting, the EN 1838 performance data.
Can equivalents be used for panel components?
For passive items — terminal blocks, trunking, lugs, heat-shrink — equivalents are unproblematic. For the contactor, overload relay and auxiliary contact set, keep the brand consistent: they mechanically interlock and different brands do not fit. RCDs and main switches can be a different brand provided they carry the relevant EN certification and match on current, sensitivity, type and pole count — but in a type-tested assembly (EN 61439) a brand change can invalidate the type test verification.
Do you ship outside Türkiye?
Yes. We deliver across all 81 provinces of Türkiye and arrange export shipments abroad. On export orders the delivery term is agreed at quotation stage under Incoterms 2020 — EXW, FCA, CPT or DAP — and the quote states which party arranges and pays for carriage, and where our responsibility ends. Country of origin, HS code and any conformity documents needed for export are settled at the same stage.
What does an export quote include, and what does it not?
It includes the goods, export packing where required, and carriage up to the point defined by the agreed Incoterm. It does not include destination-country duties, taxes or customs charges — those sit with the buyer. Cargo insurance is not automatic under EXW, FCA, CPT or DAP; if you want it arranged, say so in the request and it appears as a separate line. Turkish VAT is zero-rated on exports once export clearance is completed.
Is there a minimum order for an export shipment?
There is no fixed minimum, but freight economics set a practical floor: on a low-value single-line order, carriage can exceed the value of the goods. Consolidating several categories into one shipment is usually what makes an export order worth placing — which is the same reason our buyers consolidate domestically. Tell us the delivery country and we will say honestly whether the freight makes sense before you spend time on a specification.
These three questions are the same on every category and industry page. The full answer — Incoterms, the document set and ISPM 15 packing — is in our export shipping guide.
