Seamless Power Supply with Himel Distribution Board

Ensure seamless management of power supply with Himel Distribution Board

Electricity flows through our homes and businesses every day. From the lights we turn on and off to the appliances we use, it makes life possible. The electricity distribution process is what keeps us powered up.

A distribution board is an important constituent of the power supply system in residential, commercial, industrial, or any other type of building. The main function of a distribution board is to take electricity from the main source and feed it through one or more circuits to distribute the electricity throughout a facility. It ensures that power is delivered to homes and businesses safely and consistently.

In its absence, electricity would instead be transmitted by power lines directly to buildings. This could cause damage to your house or business premises if there were an accident with the electric wires.

Wondering what makes up the distribution board? Let’s dive in and find out.

A distribution board can be split into two broad classes:

Single Door Distribution Board

These boards are intended for low-level applications. Depending on your needs, you can choose between 4-way, 9-way, or 16-way versions of a single-door distribution board.

Double Door Distribution Board

A double-door distribution board is used for operations that require more power and a larger number of connections and appliances. They are primarily used for commercial purposes.

Components of a Distribution Board

Three essential elements make up any distribution board. These include the main breaker box, circuit breakers, and bus bars. These components are designed to perform separate functions, but they create a more complete solution when used together.

Let’s start with… Main Breaker Panel

The purpose of the breaker panel is to ensure that all your electrical devices are getting the correct amount of current when they need it. This means that if one outlet on your kitchen counter needs more power than another, then the breaker will transfer enough current to the outlet with less demand. In other words, the breaker panel will ensure that each appliance gets the amount of electricity needed for proper operation.

Additionally, the main breaker controls the amount of external power entering your building and safeguards the circuits from overheating. Without it, your system runs the risk of being overrun by the unbridled power of unregulated energy. You risk an electrical fire, fried cables, and exploding appliances.

Circuit breaker

Circuit breakers provide automated protection for electrical circuits. They prevent equipment from being harmed during power surges by regulating the amount of electricity allowed to flow through a live circuit at any given time. They use thermal or magnetic mechanisms to trip open contacts within the main body of the breaker, thereby breaking the circuit.

All circuit breakers function in a simple on/off fashion. They are designed to automatically close under certain conditions such as overload, short circuit, ground fault, etc., thus protecting people and property from serious injury and loss. Explore Himel Circuit Breakers here

Bus bar

A bus bar is an electrical connector that collects and transfers power from entering feeders to outgoing feeders. A bus bar's primary function is that of an electrical conductor and distribution point.

In general, bus bars can be split into two categories:

Grounding busbar

All grounding wires from the breaker panels are routed to the grounding bus bar. The grounding bar is also linked to the subsurface grounding conductor. The grounds alleviate the surge by pushing the path of the power to the earth so nobody gets hurt.

Neutral busbar

The neutral bus bar connects to the main circuit neutral wire. After power has been provided to a device, the neutral bars serve as a point of contact that carry the current back to the breaker panel. Explore Himel Busbar here

Benefits of using a Distribution Board Elegant Design

Distribution boards serve as more than simply electrical parts; they also enhance the aesthetic appeal of the room. These boards are no longer an eyesore that detracts from the aesthetics of homes or offices. When buying these boards, take into account the safety features, as well as the quality and design.

Maximized Wiring Space

If a distribution panel is difficult to use, it is not the ideal solution. It's important that cables can run freely across the board without slowing down the operation. It needs to be easy to implement and control. Distribution boards that are well-made, quick to install and easy to operate protect and prolong the life of your electrical distribution system.

Adaptable

Each electrical distribution board can be customized to meet the needs of commercial, residential, and industrial property owners. After all, the amount of electrical load needed to power a building's day-to-day operations will vary from structure to structure. For hassle-free setup and operation, distribution boards offer unparalleled adaptability.

Multiple installations

Distribution boxes are not only easy to install but can also be installed at various installation points. They can be installed as a surface or flush distribution point.
