What is a power distribution box

Distribution box is an electrical equipment used to distribute electrical energy, which distributes the incoming power supply to provide suitable power for each electrical equipment.

Distribution box is usually composed of box, cabinet door, door lock, mounting board, bus bar, switching electrical appliances (such as circuit breakers, contactors, fuses, etc.), meters, indicators, wiring terminals, etc. Its main function is to protect the circuit from overload and short circuit, and to control the opening and closing of the circuit.

Distribution box is widely used in residential, commercial buildings, industrial plants and other places, used to introduce mains power into the building, and distribute power to various power areas or equipment. Through the reasonable allocation of electrical components in the distribution box, the independent control and protection of different circuits can be realized, and the safety and reliability of electricity consumption can be improved. At the same time, the distribution box can also be easily repaired and maintained to ensure the normal operation of the power system.

In the design and manufacture, the distribution box pursues the characteristics of small size, easy installation, excellent technical performance, unique configuration function, etc., to adapt to different installation environment and use needs. They are usually divided into fixed panel switchgear, protective switchgear, drawer switchgear and power, lighting distribution control box and other types, widely used in residential, commercial buildings, industrial plants and other places.
