What is a Distribution Board?
A distribution board, also called a breaker panel, is the central hub of your building's electrical system. It receives incoming power and distributes it to various circuits through fuses or breakers. These breakers act like safety switches, tripping to cut off power in case of overload, preventing damage to appliances and fires.
What are Distribution Boards Used for?
● Distributes Power: A distribution board acts like a conductor, taking incoming electricity and splitting it into separate circuits.
● Circuit Protection: Each circuit has a fuse or breaker that trips in case of overload, preventing electrical fires.
● Power Control: The distribution board allows you to isolate specific circuits for maintenance or emergencies, giving you control over different electrical zones.
