These distribution boards protect you from the dangerous results of current and augment the look of your walls. The multiple designs give you the dynamism to pick the ones that are ideal for your home. The vertical and horizontal Distribution Boards give you the flexibility to choose the right ones for you.
Power distribution boards are a basic circuit board that connects all the ground connectors to one another and all the positive connectors, allowing you to power all of the equipment on your drone neatly and efficiently instead of having a bird's nest of power cables going between all your gear. Distribution boards are not just a minor enclosure but an overall system in itself, possessing neutral links, interconnecting wires and earth leakage units for the purpose of fitting electrical distribution in your house.
For every device's optimal performance, it is necessary to maintain an appropriate allocation of power and is critical for home and appliance safety. Distribution boards are fitted adequately with DIN rail, BS bars, and neutral link.
What are distribution boards used for?
A distribution board, also referred to as a panelboard, breaker panel, electric panel, DB board, or DB box, is a part of an electricity supply system that separates an electrical power feed into subordinate circuits and provides a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a single enclosure.
Components of distribution boards
A few components of a distribution board are:
Circuit breakers:
For electrical circuits, circuit breakers act as automatic protective equipment. They minimize electrical damage to equipment during electrical surges and limit the amount of electricity that can flow through a live circuit at any given time.
Bus bars:
The "bus bar" is a crucial component in the process of transmitting electric supply from the main supply line to individual circuits. It is made up of a metallic strip or bar with several conductors. The bus bar draws electricity from the main supply cord.
Bypass equipment:
In order to maintain a steady supply of energy to electrical appliances even when the in-line circuit is malfunctioning or has been disconnected for maintenance and servicing, bypass equipment is employed as a fail-safe mechanism
Residual current device:
Residual Current Devices (RCDs), like circuit breakers, are mounted on a circuit for security and accident avoidance. RCDs continuously check the live circuit to make sure there are no current leaks.
What does a distribution board contain ?
The following parts make up a standard electrical distribution board: a bus bar, fuse links, switches, bypass equipment, and a residual current detector (RSD). The following must be ensured by distribution boards:
•The circuitry shouldn't be subjected to an overcurrent due to the fuse.
•As long as it is not near any water splashes, it should be simple to install and have enough room for additional wires, fixtures, and connections.
On the basis of applications and requirements, an electrical distribution board can be of three types:
Fuse box: This is the main unit where all the electricity is controlled as well as distributed.
Main Breaker Panel: It protects the circuits all the while managing the panel's amperage capacity.
Subpanels: They are used in distributing power to specific areas of a facility.
The functions of electrical systems in modern times simply cannot be understated. These electrical systems have gone above and beyond the call of duty to guarantee that technology takes precedence in modern times. Without the proper devices to take care of these modern forms of technology, it’s only a matter of time before this technology implodes and fails to operate as they should. This makes it important to maintain optimal electrical systems that can guarantee a sustained flow of electricity in industries and homes. Only by doing so can we utilise these electrical systems without stressing about the potential damages that can arise as a result. In the simplest of terms, these sockets are an outlet where electrical appliances can be plugged in to complete a circuit and channel electricity to the product in question. While it might seem like an extremely basic form of technology at first sight, electrical sockets have actually proven to be an extremely useful and popular tool that has helped immensely in the completion of circuits and the electrical flow to various devices and machines. All this can be achieved with Schneider Electric’s reliable sockets and enclosures for power outlets.With top-quality products like Schneider Electric India’s power outlets in the market, here are the benefits of exploring these new product ranges – 1) Security - If a plug is not secure, it is quite possible that you are wasting energy and subsequently damaging both your socket and plug. A loose plug can even lead to dangerous sparks and a potential fire hazard. These loose fittings usually occur after a sustained period of wear and tear, which makes it essential to replace them over time. 2) Number and Positioning of Outlets - By upgrading your electric sockets and power outlets, you have the option to transform your infrastructure in terms of revamping the number of outlets as well as the location of these outlets. 3) Damage Restoration - Another clear benefit of replacing or renovating your outlets is the opportunity to rectify all the damage done over the years. This can be explained with the help of an example - a cracked outlet plate more often than not leaves outlets prone to dust and debris buildup. The dust and debris could result in a fire hazard when exposed to electrical shocks and elements. Replacing the outlet will remove the risky hazard of damage or injury.
