Parts Of Electrical Control Panels

The Electric Control Panels, also called Power Distribution Boards, Service Panels and Panelboards, are basically designed to distribute electricity to all the electrical appliances of your home. These panels are installed in each and every home and building. They act as a distribution point, lightening up the houses.

Housing

Every Electrical Control Panel has a housing that supports its internal components. All the parts within the panel are insulated and therefore, no scope of short circuits is left in it. Control Panels are further protected with doors that have a caution mark with Authorized Personnel Only written upon them. No one except the electricians is allowed to open that door.

Main Disconnect

When the electricity comes into Electrical Control Panel, it is redirected to the main disconnect at the first place. The main disconnect acts as an on-off button, and if its lever is pushed off, the incoming power gets completely disconnected. The function of main disconnect becomes pivotal in case of any short circuit or overload, as by pushing it off you can save the entire Electric Distribution System.

Circuit Breakers

After the main disconnect, the power distributed into the different circuit breakers. Although breakers can be turned off manually, but in case of short circuit, they sense the overload and trip down automatically. In this manner, the circuit breakers help the circuit from getting overheated, which can otherwise cause fire.

Now that you know the basics of Electrical Control Panel, you need to consider a few things before purchasing one for any residential or commercial purposes. You need to check on the certain things and then only you can buy a reliable Electrical Control Panel. Following are some of the things to remember:

Safety standards

Quality of circuit breakers

Is it Weather proof?

Whether its controllers can withstand high temperature or not

Does it have voltmeter and integrated main switch fuse unit?


Enquire your Power Distribution Boards Manufacturer, Supplier and Exporter about these things and then only select the one that provides you with the Power Distribution Board you can bank upon.
