A control panel is an integral part of numerous industrial and commercial electrical systems. It is essentially a cabinet or an enclosure that houses various electrical components and control systems required for the operation, monitoring, and protection of electrical equipment.
The primary function of an electrical control panel is to control and manage electrical power distribution within a system or a facility. It provides a centralised location for operating and regulating electrical equipment, ensuring smooth and efficient functioning.
The control panel plays a vital role in maintaining safety by housing protective devices capable of detecting and preventing electrical faults, such as overloads, short circuits, and electrical fires. These protective devices typically include circuit breakers, fuses, relays, and disconnect switches.
