What is Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board ?

Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board is the Heart of Electrical System in your Home, Office, Workplace etc. Once the Heart ( Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board ) get failed ( Tripped ) all your Equipment stop there working Immediately. As Heart has different Outlets from where they supply Blood to various part of our body same Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board supplies Current to various part of our Home , Office. Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board is made up of different ratings of Breakers & Electrical Overload Safety equipment’s.

Whenever the Equipment connected to the Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board draws extra Current due to Fault in the Equipment the Overload Safety installed in the Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board works due to which the breaker get Tripped and the faulty equipment get Isolated from the healthy equipment’s . Safety plays important role in our day to day life as whenever the faulty equipment get isolated from electrical supply it prevent human from Electrical Shock which may risk the human Life. Where as it also protect our Healthy equipment’s from Voltage Fluctuation Caused be Faulty Equipment. Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board plays very important role in day to day life.

What do you Mean by Sub Electrical Panel / Sub Panel Board ?

A Main Electrical Panel / Panel Board which supply power to Sub Electrical Panel / Sub Panel Board so that it can feed specific area of House, Office etc is called Sub Electrical Panel / Sub Panel Board. It is also called as MCB Distribution Board (D.B). Its is made up of Metal Box having MCCB / ACB (Master Control) as Incomer and MCB’s as Outgoing for various Load / Equipment’s End. Whenever you need to replace particular equipment connected via a Main Electrical Panel / Panel Board in the Office area you can can disconnect the equipment using Particular MCB where as when you want to do some repair in particular area which is connected with Main Electrical Panel as well as Sub Panel Board  you can switch of the Sub Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board and rest of area works without any problem. This is the benefit of installing Sub Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board in Factories , Offices, Homes etc.. 

How Does Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board is Designed & Manufactured ?

All Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board works on the basis of Electrical Load which is going to be connected on the Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board. Manufacturing of Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board involves number of steps which is as per the following

  1. Initially all the Electrical Load will be worked out which is going to be connect on the Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board in the form of KW.
  2. After taking all the Load Detail and making the Total Load by adding the Connected Load, switchgear of required rating will be decided which needs to be connected in Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board.
  3. Once all the switchgear which is going to be installed in the MS Enclosure are finalized, The Size of the Enclosure was worked out for Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board.
  4. On the basis of the size which was worked out fabrication work will start accordingly.
  5. Once the Fabrication work get completed the Enclosure was sent for 7 Tank Cleaning Process once all the Excessive Oil And Grease was cleared  Powder Coating Process get started.
  6. Then the Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board get shifted from Powder Coating area to Assembly area where all the required switchgear get assembled along with Wiring work.
  7. Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board sent for Testing ( High Voltage Test, Meggering etc).
  8. When the Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board get tested it will sent for Packing & Dispatch area. from where it will be sent to various locations as per Order.

Where you can Install / Locate your Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board?

Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board are made up of Metal Enclosure that may be MS (Mild Steel) or SS (Stainless Steel), Powder Coated as per Customer requirements. If the Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board is Heavy then it needs to be installed on Floor, where as if the size & weight of the Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board is not so bulky then it might be installed on Wall also.

Most of the Time or Locations like Big Houses, Offices, Industries Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board are Installed on Entrance Point, Basement Area depending upon easy access in case of Emergency switching off the Complete Electrical System. Where as in case of Apartments Sub Electrical Panel / Panel Board or we called it Distribution Board (D.B) is installed at Entrance Behind Main Door for easy Access.

How Does Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board Works ?

An Electrical Panel / Panel Board , also known as a Breaker Box or Electrical Distribution Board, is the central point where electricity is distributed throughout a building or home.

Here is how Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board works:

  1. Power enters the Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board through a service cable, which connects to the main breaker.
  2. The main breaker controls the flow of electricity to the entire Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board and is typically the largest breaker in the panel.
  3. From the main breaker, electricity is routed to individual circuit breakers that are responsible for controlling the flow of electricity to specific areas or circuits in the building.
  4. Each circuit breaker is designed to trip or shut off the flow of electricity if the current exceeds a predetermined limit. This helps to prevent electrical overloads that could cause a fire or damage electrical equipment.
  5. The number and size of the circuit breakers in the panel will depend on the electrical load requirements of the building or home.
  6. Finally, the Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board is typically located in a central location, such as a utility room or basement, and is easily accessible for maintenance and repairs.

In summary, the Electrical Panel / Panel Board / Distribution Board works by receiving power from the Electricity Board or D.G Set and distributing it to individual circuits throughout the building through circuit breakers. It is an essential component of any electrical system, as it ensures the safe and efficient distribution of electricity throughout the building.
