Jaotustahvels

A jaotustahvel, commonly referred to as a distribution board or electrical panel, is a central component of an electrical system. It serves as a hub where electricity is distributed from the main power source to various circuits within a building or structure. The primary function of a jaotustahvel is to house and protect electrical components such as circuit breakers or fuses, which are essential for safety.

Each circuit breaker or fuse within the jaotustahvel is responsible for a specific electrical circuit, such as lighting, outlets, or appliances. If an overload or short circuit occurs on a particular circuit, the corresponding breaker will trip or the fuse will blow, interrupting the flow of electricity to that circuit and preventing damage to wiring and connected devices, as well as reducing the risk of fire.

Modern jaotustahvels typically contain a main switch that can disconnect power to the entire board. They also feature individual circuit breakers that can be manually reset after tripping. The arrangement of these components within the board allows for organized and accessible electrical management. Regular inspection and maintenance of the jaotustahvel are crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the entire electrical installation.
