DB Boxes & Circuit Breakers

Which DB boards are best to buy?

A distribution board (also known as panelboard, breaker panel, or electric panel) is a component within the electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into different circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit — all within a common enclosure (electrical box).

Circuit breakers are electrical switches that are designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent/overload or short circuit. It functions by interrupting current flow after protective relays detect a fault, so that instead of transferring that heat to the appliances and electronic items plugged into your outlets — causing them to burn out or potentially cause a fire — circuit breakers trip the power source, shutting off the electricity to your home or electrical zone within a building from the distribution point.
