What is the proper name of this electrical conduit

The box in the bottom where i think the dozen of wires will be properly sorted which will then be fed to the breakers.

I have tried electrical conduit on google and it does not seem to return relevant results.

A quick search of my favorite  electrical supplier (USA) came up with:

"Enclosed Trough Raceway"  and "Indoor Enclosure."

https://www.mcmaster.com/electrical-cabinets/oil-tight-enclosed-trough-raceway/

A few more searches came up with "wireway" and "electrical raceway", adding the word "metal" to that refined the search.

Hope that helps...

The box in the bottom would be a "Cable Marshalling Box" in my parlance.
 I originated in Australia so that may be the British name too.

The box along the bottom could be called a gutter in the US.  It also could be called a junction box.
