Panelboards

Manufacturing Term

Panelboards are electrical distribution boards that are commonly used in manufacturing industries to regulate the supply of electricity to different components and equipment. They are basically a collection of individual circuit breakers, fuses, and other safety devices that are mounted on a panel or a board, and connected to a power source.

The main function of panelboards is to distribute and manage electrical power from the source to various components, machines, and equipment in a safe and efficient manner. They are typically installed close to the equipment to reduce wiring cost and minimize the potential for electrical hazards.

Panelboards are available in different designs and configurations, depending on the specific requirements of the manufacturing industry. Some common types of panelboards include main lug, main breaker, and convertible panelboards. Main lug panelboards are used for applications that require multiple smaller loads, while main breaker panelboards are used for higher voltage and amperage applications.

In addition to regulating electrical power supply, panelboards also serve as a monitoring point for electrical circuits and equipment. They provide a secure and reliable way to monitor electrical loads, diagnose issues, and perform maintenance tasks. Many panelboards are equipped with advanced features such as automatic transfers and remote monitoring, which help to improve efficiency and reduce downtime.

In conclusion, Panelboards are an important component of modern manufacturing industries, where they play a vital role in regulating and distributing electrical power to various equipment and components. With their advanced features and capabilities, they help ensure the safe and efficient operation of electrical systems, while reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
