Distribution panel, also known as a Panelboard, Switchboard, is a crucial component in an electrical system. Its primary function is to distribute electrical power from a main power source, such as a utility supply or a generator, to multiple individual circuits. It acts as a central hub, allowing for the efficient and organized distribution of electricity to various electrical loads within a building or a facility.
The panel is equipped with circuit breakers or fuses for each individual circuit. These protective devices are designed to automatically disconnect the circuit in case of an overload, short circuit, or ground fault. This not only safeguards the electrical equipment connected to the circuits but also prevents potential electrical hazards, ensuring the safety of both the property and its occupants. Additionally, the distribution panel provides a convenient location for electrical contractors and maintenance personnel to access and manage the electrical circuits, facilitating installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting operations
Product Type
Indoor Distribution Panel
These are designed for installation within buildings, providing a safe and protected environment for power distribution. Indoor panels are commonly used in residential homes, commercial buildings, offices, and industrial facilities. They are available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different electrical load requirements. Some indoor panels are equipped with advanced features such as digital displays for monitoring electrical parameters, and they often have a compact design to fit into limited spaces.
Outdoor Distribution Panel
Outdoor distribution panels are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions. They are constructed with weatherproof enclosures, typically made of corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or fiberglass-reinforced polyester. These panels are used in applications where power distribution needs to be carried out outdoors, such as in substations, outdoor lighting systems, industrial plants with outdoor equipment, and remote locations. Outdoor panels are designed to protect the internal electrical components from rain, dust, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors, ensuring reliable operation in all weather conditions.
Main Technical Parameter
1. Voltage Rating
Distribution panels are available with different voltage ratings, depending on the application and the electrical system they are connected to. Common voltage ratings include 120/240V for residential applications in North America, 230/400V for European residential and commercial use, and higher voltage ratings such as 480V, 600V, or even higher in industrial settings. The voltage rating of the panel must match the incoming power supply voltage to ensure proper operation and compatibility with the connected electrical loads.
2. Ampere Capacity
The ampere capacity, also known as the current rating, indicates the maximum amount of electrical current that the distribution panel can safely handle. This parameter is crucial as it determines the number and size of electrical circuits that can be connected to the panel and the overall power load that the panel can support. For example, a small residential distribution panel may have an ampere capacity of 100A or 200A, while a large industrial panel could have a capacity of several thousand amperes.
3. Number of Circuits
The number of circuits in a distribution panel varies widely based on its intended use. Residential panels typically range from 12 to 40 circuits, allowing for the distribution of power to different areas of the home, such as lighting, outlets, appliances, and HVAC systems. Commercial and industrial panels can have a much larger number of circuits, sometimes in the hundreds, to meet the complex power requirements of multiple tenants, machinery, and equipment.
Normal Service Condition
Temperature range: -5°C to +40°C, with the average temperature not exceeding +35°C
Altitude: below 2000m (high-altitude products can be customized)
Humidity: not exceeding 90% (at 20°C), and not exceeding 50% at the highest temperature of +40°C.
The inclination of the equipment during installation with respect to the vertical plane should not exceed 5 degrees; the equipment should be installed in places without severe vibrations and impacts, and where electrical components will not be subject to corrosion.
In cases where the user has special requirements, they can negotiate with the manufacturer for a solution.
Use Scenarios
Residential Applications: In homes, distribution panels are the heart of the electrical system. They distribute power to all the electrical appliances, lighting fixtures, and outlets throughout the house.
Commercial Buildings: Commercial buildings have complex electrical requirements. Distribution panels in these buildings are responsible for powering a wide range of equipment. The panels need to be highly reliable.
Industrial Facilities: Industrial plants rely on distribution panels to power heavy machinery, production lines, and other industrial equipment. These panels must be designed to withstand the harsh operating conditions.
