A distribution board, also known as a breaker panel or fuse box, is an essential component of an electrical system. It distributes electrical power to various circuits within a building while providing protection against overloads and short circuits. Each circuit is connected to a circuit breaker or fuse, which can be easily reset or replaced if an issue arises. These boards are typically installed in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. They help ensure safety by preventing electrical fires and equipment damage. Regular maintenance and inspections of distribution boards are important to ensure they function properly and meet electrical codes.
