A distribution box uses MCBs, RCDs, and busbars to protect circuits, prevent shocks, and ensure safe power distribution in homes and buildings. You use a distribution box to divide electrical power into smaller circuits. From there, the power is distributed through the breakers to secondary. Distribution boxes, also called distribution boards, are essential components in both residential and commercial electrical systems. Inside, you'll find parts like circuit breakers and fuses that protect the system from problems like overloads and short circuits.
