Distribution Panel

A Distribution Panel, also known as a Distribution Board (DB) or Secondary Panel, plays a critical role in the electrical distribution hierarchy by receiving power from the Main LT Panel and directing it to various end-use circuits such as lighting, socket outlets, air conditioning units, and machinery. Positioned at the secondary level of power control, the distribution panel not only facilitates organized power flow but also ensures safety through individual circuit protection.

Typically operating at 230V (single-phase) or 415V (three-phase), distribution panels are equipped with essential components including Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs), Residual Current Devices (RCDs), Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCBs), busbars, neutral and earthing links. These components help manage and isolate circuits during overloads, faults, or maintenance operations. Distribution panels are generally installed across individual floors, rooms, or departments, depending on the size and function of the building.

There are various types of distribution panels tailored to specific loads and applications: Lighting Distribution Boards (LDBs) for lighting circuits, Power Distribution Boards (PDBs) for sockets and general power, Motor Control Panels (MCPs) for motor-driven equipment, AC Distribution Boards (ACDBs) for HVAC units, and UPS Distribution Boards for ensuring clean, uninterrupted power to computers and servers.

Amtech Power offers reliable, well-structured distribution panels built to meet site-specific needs and applicable safety standards. Our solutions ensure efficient circuit-level management, enhanced safety, and simplified future scalability in both residential and commercial infrastructure.

What is a Distribution Panel?

A Distribution Panel, also called a Distribution Board (DB) or Secondary Panel, is an electrical panel that receives power from the Main LT Panel and distributes it to different circuits like lighting, sockets, air conditioning, or machinery. It is a secondary-level power control and protection device in an electrical distribution system.

Key Features:

Feature Description
Power Source Receives supply from Main LT Panel or sub-panels
Voltage Usually 230V (single-phase) or 415V (three-phase)
Components MCBs, RCDs, ELCBs, busbars, neutral link, earthing link
Function Controls and protects outgoing circuits
Location Installed on each floor, room, or department in a building

Types of Distribution Panels:

Lighting Distribution Board (LDB) – For lighting circuits

Power Distribution Board (PDB) – For socket power outlets

Motor Control Panel (MCP) – For controlling motors

AC Distribution Board (ACDB) – For air conditioner

UPS Distribution Board – For computer/server power

Typical Applications:

Industrial plants
