Load Centers
A Load Center is an essential component of an electrical system that distributes electricity to various circuits within a building. It typically contains circuit breakers or fuses that protect the electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. Load centers help manage the flow of electricity, ensuring that each area of a home or facility receives the appropriate amount of power.
Load centers are often referred to as breaker panels or electrical panels. They are usually located in basements, garages, or utility rooms. Proper installation and maintenance of load centers are crucial for safety and efficiency in managing electrical systems, preventing potential hazards like electrical fires.
