Home distribution boxes typically handle single-phase power supplies and contain 6 to 24 circuits. They include standard circuit breakers for lighting, outlets, and major appliances like water heaters and air conditioning units. Double meter panel options allow multiple tenants or units to be metered separately. It acts like a hub or traffic controller, managing power flow to different areas or devices. By breaking power into smaller, manageable loads, the box ensures consistent delivery while protecting. A distribution board (also known as panelboard, circuit breaker panel, breaker panel, circuit breaker, electric panel, fuse box or DB box) is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit. The distribution box (DB box) helps safely and efficiently distribute electrical power.
