203-723-9052 CT Electrical Panels and Breaker Boxes
An electrical panel may contain fuses or circuit breakers or both fuses and circuit breakers with proper current ratings to protect branch circuits from potential fire hazards. When used at the proper current ratings, they disconnect electric current when it exceeds the safe level for each branch circuit. This is usually referred to as opening a fuse or a circuit breaker (blowing or tripping). Many electrical panels also have main fuses or circuit breakers that can disconnect power from the entire home or from some group of branch circuits.
|
Electrical power enters the home through the electrical panel and a service entrance cable carries electrical power from the meter to this panel. In multi-family dwellings, electrical power is distributed from the building panel to the individual dwellings. Single-family dwelling panels distribute electricity to the branch circuits. Branch circuits provide electricityto receptacle outlets, lights and appliances throughout the home. They are fed by the wires coming from the electrical panel.
