At its core, a distribution board, also frequently referred to as a panelboard and distribution board, functions as a protective and distributive hub for electrical circuits. Imagine it as the electrical system's command center, receiving power from the source and meticulously dividing it among various branch circuits. This segregation is crucial for safety, allowing for isolation during maintenance or faults, and preventing overloads that could lead to hazardous situations.
But what is the distribution board in technical terms? It's an assembly of protective devices (like circuit breakers or fuses), switching devices, and busbars, all enclosed within a robust housing. These components work in concert to safeguard electrical installations and ensure continuity of power supply.
