soojusjaotaja

The soojusjaotaja is a type of electrical distribution panel or load center used in some European countries, particularly in Estonia. The name "soojusjaotaja" literally translates to "heat distributor" in Estonian, but it refers to a device that is actually used for electrical power distribution rather than heat distribution.

A soojusjaotaja is typically used in residential and commercial buildings as a way to distribute electrical power from the main electrical panel to individual circuits. It is usually mounted on a wall or in an electrical room and contains a set of fuses or circuit breakers that can be used to isolate and disconnect specific circuits in the event of an emergency or when maintenance is being performed on a particular circuit.

The soojusjaotaja is often used in buildings where a high degree of flexibility and scalability is required, such as in buildings with multiple apartments or in commercial properties with different zonal heating requirements. It allows for individual circuit control and monitoring, which can help to identify potential problems and reduce the risk of electrical fires.

The soojusjaotaja is also sometimes referred to as a "rack mounted" or "nema-rated" panel due to its mounting configuration and electrical rating. Overall, it is an important component of electrical safety and distribution in certain regions, particularly in Estonia and other Eastern European countries.
