A power distribution board, also known as an electrical panel or switchgear, is a critical component of an electrical system that manages the flow of electricity within a building or facility.
A distribution panel works by providing one main power switch that controls the power for all circuits. When turned off, the main power switch can temporarily shut down the entire grid. However, there are also times when you might need to control the power for separate components or locations in your home.
Advantages And Characteristics:
- The distribution cabinet consolidates various electrical components into one cabinet, facilitating centralized management and control of the power system.
- Equipped with comprehensive protection measures such as short circuit, overload, leakage protection, etc., to ensure the safe operation of the power system.
- Circuit breakers, contactors, relays and other electrical components can be integrated into one cabinet, reducing external connection lines and lowering the failure rate.
- Efficient distribution cabinets can reduce energy loss and conform to the modern concept of energy conservation and emission reduction.

Application area:
- In the field of architecture: distribution cabinets are used for the distribution, control, and protection of electrical energy in residential areas, commercial areas, and public buildings. They ensure the stability and safety of power supply, meeting the electricity needs of different regions and equipment.
- In the industrial sector: distribution cabinets provide power support for various production equipment in industries such as manufacturing, mining, and construction. They can adapt to special requirements such as high load and high voltage, and ensure the continuity and safety of the production process.
- In the field of transportation: distribution cabinets serve as power control and distribution centers in transportation facilities such as rail transit, ships, airports, and highway bridges, ensuring the normal operation of the transportation system and the stability of power supply.
- In the field of agriculture: distribution cabinets achieve power control and distribution in large agricultural machinery and greenhouse equipment, meeting the electricity demand in agricultural production and improving the efficiency and stability of agricultural production.
- IT industry: In IT facilities such as data centers and communication base stations, distribution cabinets are used for power distribution and protection, ensuring the normal operation of IT equipment and the security of data. With the development of technologies such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things, the demand for data centers and communication facilities continues to increase, which in turn drives the growth of the distribution cabinet market.
