Top 5 Reasons to Use the Distribution Panel

A distribution panel is a control panel with several switches and connections. It is the primary source of electricity for a large space, be it a home, commercial building, or factory. The size, shape, and design of the distribution panel can be anything as long as they meet your requirements. That’s why many people prefer to get the panels custom designed. 

There are various reasons to have distribution panels to manage the electric power supply to the building. Let’s know the top five reasons in this post. 

• User-Friendly

The distribution box should be user-friendly and easy to operate. The panels are usually designed to have enough space between the switches and wires to allow repairs and replacements. You can choose between the single-door and double-door distribution boxes, depending on your convenience and the complexity of the wiring. The double door box is typically used for heavy-duty purposes and in commercial establishments. 

• Protection from Fire Accidents

The biggest reason to install distribution panels is to safeguard the connection and prevent fire accidents. The fuse is the vital element in the distribution box. It ensures that the power supply is not beyond the set limit. In case of power fluctuations, the fuse will bear the brunt of the excess/reduced power supply and keep appliances safe. You only have to replace the fuse instead of worrying about all the damaged circuits and appliances. 

• Aesthetics and Good Looks

Imagine looking at loose wires and circuits exposed to dangers in the environment. It is neither safe nor good-looking. While the distribution panels are more aimed at ensuring safety, there’s an increasing demand for designer panels. People want distribution boxes that blend into the existing décor and to the beauty of the interior design. This is another reason for more and more people to choose customized distribution panels instead of readymade ones. 

• Distribution of Power

The distribution panel has a main switch to control the overall power distribution in the building. On top of that, it also has individual switches for each component or room in the house. For example, you can turn off a switch to stop sending electricity to a particular room while the rest of the house still uses electricity. This allows you to work on repairs without disturbing others. 

• One-Point Access to the Control Panel

The distribution box is similar to a centralized control unit. All the connections and switches are located in the same place. You don’t need to search for a switch or wonder how to cut off the power supply to a certain electric point or room. Whenever there’s a problem, you can go to the distribution panel to check what’s wrong.
