Distribution boards are a critical part of any circuitry in your homes, offices, or any other place. They serve an influential role and cannot be neglected at any cost. One of the most important devices, they make sure that the current is adequately distributed to all the devices facilitating proper functioning. This also makes sure that none of the devices are negatively impacted by the effects of overcurrents or short circuits.. These distribution boards not only save you from the harmful results of current but also augment the look of your walls.

The various designs give you the dynamism to choose the ones that are ideal for your home. Choose from the range of distribution boards available at the best prices and transform the way you live at home.


Power Distribution Boards (PDBs) serve an essential role and cannot be overlooked at any cost. One of the vital devices, they make sure that the current is appropriately distributed to all the devices aiding proper functioning. This also ensures that none of the devices is negatively affected by the effects of overcurrents or short circuits. These distribution boards protect you from the dangerous results of current and augment the look of your walls. The multiple designs give you the dynamism to pick the ones that are ideal for your home. The vertical and horizontal Distribution Boards give you the flexibility to choose the right ones for you.


What is a power distribution board?

Power distribution boards are a basic circuit board that connects all the ground connectors to one another and all the positive connectors, allowing you to power all of the equipment on your drone neatly and efficiently instead of having a bird's nest of power cables going between all your gear. Distribution boards are not just a minor enclosure but an overall system in itself, possessing neutral links, interconnecting wires and earth leakage units for the purpose of fitting electrical distribution in your house.


For every device's optimal performance, it is necessary to maintain an appropriate allocation of power and is critical for home and appliance safety. Distribution boards are fitted adequately with DIN rail, BS bars, and neutral link.


What are distribution boards used for?

A distribution board, also referred to as a panelboard, breaker panel, electric panel, DB board, or DB box, is a part of an electricity supply system that separates an electrical power feed into subordinate circuits and provides a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a single enclosure. 


What are the components of a power distribution board?

A few components of a distribution board are:


  • Circuit breakers: For electrical circuits, circuit breakers act as automatic protective equipment. They minimize electrical damage to equipment during electrical surges and limit the amount of electricity that can flow through a live circuit at any given time. 
  • Bus bars: The "bus bar" is a crucial component in the process of transmitting electric supply from the main supply line to individual circuits. It is made up of a metallic strip or bar with several conductors. The bus bar draws electricity from the main supply cord. 
  • Bypass equipment: In order to maintain a steady supply of energy to electrical appliances even when the in-line circuit is malfunctioning or has been disconnected for maintenance and servicing, bypass equipment is employed as a fail-safe mechanism
  • Residual current device: Residual Current Devices (RCDs), like circuit breakers, are mounted on a circuit for security and accident avoidance. RCDs continuously check the live circuit to make sure there are no current leaks.


What is a 3 phases of power distribution board?

On the basis of applications and requirements, an electrical distribution board can be of three types:

  • Fuse box: This is the main unit where all the electricity is controlled as well as distributed.
  • Main Breaker Panel: It protects the circuits all the while managing the panel's amperage capacity.
  • Subpanels: They are used in distributing power to specific areas of a facility.
