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.
