A distribution board cabinet is an essential part of an electrical system, designed to house and protect electrical circuits. These cabinets distribute electricity to various parts of a building while ensuring safety by preventing overloads and short circuits. Typically installed in residential, commercial, and industrial environments, distribution boards are equipped with circuit breakers and fuses to prevent damage caused by electrical faults.

The primary function of a distribution board cabinet is to provide a centralized point for managing the electrical flow throughout a building. Inside, each circuit is connected to a breaker that controls the flow of electricity, ensuring that if a fault occurs, only the affected circuit is interrupted, not the entire system.

These cabinets are usually made of durable materials such as metal or fire-resistant plastic to ensure safety and long-term reliability. Some models are equipped with clear or opaque doors, allowing easy monitoring of circuit breakers and switches. For added safety, distribution board cabinets are typically grounded to prevent electrical shocks.
