We need to know the basics of electrical fittings in our house. This comes as an advantage when you’re looking at investing in new electrical components or even during electrical accidents and hazards. One such basic component is the distribution board.
An electrical distribution board is also called a panelboard, breaker panel or electrical panel. It is one of the essential components of the electricity supply system in a house. Through the distribution board, the electric current flows into the different electric circuits while providing a circuit breaker or a protective fuse for each circuit in the same enclosure.
In a layman’s language, the main distribution board acts as a point where the main supply cable enters and then gets distributed to various circuit breakers to all circuits and switchboards.
Use of an Electrical Panel Board for House
The power distribution board helps in the functioning of the main switch, circuit breakers, bus bars, earth leakage unit, bypass equipment and other switches. These switches help protect the electrical distribution system and other distribution board components from getting damaged during electrical hazards such as earth leakage, short circuit, overload, etc.
Types of Electrical Panel Boards
There are various types of power distribution panel—for example, the surface-mounted, flush-mounted both with single-door and double-door options. You’ll come across these distribution boards in a horizontal and vertical layout and with doors that come with see-through plastic covers or doors. You’ll also find electrical distribution box sizes and have to select according to space and your needs. The distribution board sizes are determined by the number of circuits that are wired to the board.
It is recommended to consult a professional while getting a DB installed. For the best performance, efficiency and safety in any building, you may also refer to IndoAsian’s extensive help and products like Caretron Distribution Boards.
Placement of Electrical Distribution Board
It is very important to think before installing a distribution board. People generally hide them in places like a cupboard, under the staircase, garage or basement because they spoil the home decor’s aesthetics.
But you should also make sure that the place should be well lit and very well ventilated. This will help in avoiding overheating of the consumer unit. It should also be fairly accessible to switch off the mains in short circuits, or fire.
