Panelboards

Panelboards are essential components of electrical distribution systems that house circuit breakers or fuses to control and protect electrical circuits within a building or facility. They serve as centralized points for distributing electrical power from a main electrical panel to various circuits or loads throughout the premises. Panelboards are crucial for:

‍

Electrical Distribution: Routing electrical power safely and efficiently to different areas or equipment within a building.

Overcurrent Protection: Protecting electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of electrical fires and equipment damage.

Convenience and Accessibility: Providing a convenient location for controlling and monitoring electrical circuits, facilitating maintenance and troubleshooting.

Tri-County offers a range of panelboards tailored to meet diverse application needs, including:

‍

Main Lug Panels: Designed for applications where circuit protection is provided by a main panel upstream.

Main Breaker Panels: Equipped with a main circuit breaker that serves as a disconnect for the entire panel, offering enhanced safety and convenience during maintenance.

Sub-panels: Used to distribute power from a main panel to specific areas or equipment within a building, ensuring balanced electrical distribution.

Customized Solutions: Tailored panelboard solutions designed to accommodate specific voltage, current, and configuration requirements for unique applications or industry-specific needs.

‍

Consider upgrading or replacing panelboards if you encounter any of the following issues:

‍

Overloaded Circuits: Frequently tripping circuit breakers or blowing fuses indicate that existing panelboards may not be adequately sized for current electrical demands.

Outdated Equipment: Aging panelboards with outdated technology or components that no longer meet current safety standards or regulatory requirements.

Expansion or Renovation: Planning to expand or renovate your facility may require additional circuits or upgraded panelboards to support increased electrical loads.

Safety Concerns: Visual signs of wear, damage, or overheating on panelboards indicate potential safety hazards that warrant immediate inspection and replacement.
