Electrical distribution / apartment panels

Electrical switchboards

Electrical apartment switchboards are essential components of the world's residential buildings, which serve to control and distribute electrical energy and provide control and power supply to individual circuits in the electrical network. The concept of apartment panels and circuit breaker panels dates back to the early 20th century with increasing urbanization and the construction of multi-storey residential buildings. As the population migrated to the cities, the demand for housing increased sharply, leading to the construction of housing estates. With this surge in residential construction, the need for organized electricity management in these buildings has become imperative.

Electrical switchboards serve to store and control circuit breakers / fuses as a safety mechanism, such as disconnecting the circuit in case of overload or short circuit, to prevent electrical hazards. The switchboard has a significant impact on the safety and convenience of the whole life by enabling the efficient distribution and management of electrical energy in residential units.

This is why it is recommended to replace the old fuses with circuit breakers, which will add greater protection to the electrical installation, and the old electrical panel with the new one with more modules. Here, the choice of quality panel models and the corresponding elements with complete safety is important, which can be made in the WIKIVAT online store for electronics and electrical materials.

Apartment boards

Apartment panels are available for built-in (hidden installation) and for external (surface) installation. Panels intended for concealed installation are installed in the intended opening of the wall, being fixed by means of screws to the surface. When opening the installation, there is no need to make holes in the wall and fix it directly on the surface. Both options are a modular plastic box with an opening lid, which can be transparent or with a solid one, in which automatic fuses are installed and all often protect the defective ones. Distribution of the individual current circuits is carried out, and each current circuit is connected to a separate fuse. Depending on the number of electrical appliances, a suitable automatic fuse is selected. All apartment panels are made of high-quality plastic with a high degree of shock and heat protection, as they have temperature differences and have the ability to accommodate a different number of fuses/modules. Most apartment modular boxes come complete with a DIN rail for mounting, fasteners and, depending on the number of modules, zero terminal blocks for connection.
