A power distribution panel, also known as a distribution board or panel board, is an electrical component that distributes electrical power from a single source to multiple circuits or loads within a building or facility. It typically contains circuit breakers, fuses, and other protective devices to control and distribute power safely and efficiently.
The power distribution panel is usually located near the electrical service entrance and serves as the central point for power distribution throughout the building. The incoming power from the main service panel or switchboard is routed through the distribution panel, where it is distributed to various circuits and loads via the circuit breakers or fuses.
Power distribution panels are commonly used in commercial, industrial, and residential applications. They are designed to handle different voltage levels and current loads depending on the specific application, and they can be customized with various components and configurations to meet specific requirements.
