liittymätaulu

A liittymätaulu, often translated as a connection board or terminal block, is an electrical enclosure used to safely terminate and connect incoming electrical power lines to a building or a specific piece of equipment. It serves as a central point for distributing electricity to various circuits within a property. These boards typically house components such as fuses, circuit breakers, or busbars, which are essential for protecting the electrical system from overloads and short circuits.

The primary function of a liittymätaulu is to provide a secure and organized termination point for the main power supply. This incoming line is then branched out to different circuits, each protected by its own breaker or fuse. This allows for individual circuits to be isolated for maintenance or in case of a fault without affecting the entire electrical system. They are designed to meet strict safety regulations and are often made of non-conductive materials.

In residential settings, the liittymätaulu is commonly referred to as a breaker box or fuse box. In industrial or commercial environments, it might be a more substantial unit designed to handle higher power loads and a greater number of circuits. The proper installation and maintenance of a liittymätaulu are critical for ensuring the safety and reliability of any electrical installation.
