What is Electric Panel

What is Electric Panel

In order to distribute the electricity to the building/facility in the safest and most efficient way, the cabinet where the elements used in distribution and transmission are together is defined as the "Electric panel".

It is the equipment that includes elements that carry out electrical transmission, such as electrical panel, switchgear materials, cables. The most important issue in electrical installation is the safe and efficient distribution of electrical energy.

A safe distribution of energy is essential for both human health and the safe use of electronic devices. The use of quality materials during the construction of the "electric panel" and regular maintenance of the panel are very important for safe use.

“Electric panels” vary according to their usage areas.

Panels used in living spaces such as houses and buildings contain standard components.

On the other hand, it is possible to see different panel types in multiple areas such as workplaces or factories.

Physically, the panels can be divided into two as fixed or with drawers. In terms of voltage, it is classified as low, medium and high voltage.

For this reason, it would be more accurate to evaluate electrical panels in different classes and features.

Types of Electrical Panels

The first panel types that come to mind are; piano panels, free standing panels, floor sheet panels, construction site panels, counter panels, rack cabins, ship panels, interior curtain panels and special production panels.

Buildings with one or more floors have small electricity meter boards. Inside this electrical panel, there are fuse, electricity meter, automatic ladder, bell transformer and central automatic breaker.

The quality of the parts used here is extremely important for the building. Electrical panels are produced by companies according to order. When ordering, prices vary depending on the dimensions requested, sheet thickness and quality, paint quality.

The situation is different for workplaces. Because the requirements differ according to the energy needs. Panel components are different from normal building components as the voltage intensity will be high in work areas that require high voltage.

It is transmitted to facilities with high energy needs such as factories through electricity distribution panels.

The energy coming from the network is directly connected to the “main panel” made of DKP sheet metal. The main panel components are main switch, measuring instruments, signal lamps and column fuses.

Distribution tables are connected to “additional sheet panels”. In this section, there are electrical fuses, switches and signal lamps. Distribution tables are divided into two as flush mounted and surface mounted.

Site tables are used to meet the needs of places under construction. These tables are in one or two pieces. There are residual current protection relay, column fuse and counter. These panels are made of DKP sheet metal and must be kept locked.
