COMMERCIAL MAIN BREAKER PANEL INSTALLATION
A commercial electrical panel is responsible for the provision of electricity from gadgets to computers, copiers etc. throughout the building it delivers electric too. In other words, it can best be described as the brain controlling the flow of an electrical system. Power flows into the building via this panel, before it branches out into major electrical branches, thus reducing into smaller branches so as to distribute power. For safety purposes, a properly functioning electrical panel is extremely important.
Why is a panel needed?
A panel is needed in an electrical system to break up the power supply of 100 amps or larger down to small circuits. Small circuit requirements start at 15 amps and can go as high as required by the specific item and voltage.
Locate Your Electrical Panel: To identify your electrical panel, start by searching for a painted or gray metal box. All electrical panels must be located in areas that are easily accessible and out of the way to stay with the necessary safety requirements. In case you have a hard time in locating your panel, look outward for outdoor panels, they are a convenient way to avoid violating any requirements.
Old electric panels can lead to a myriad of problems such as:
- Flickering lights.
- Cracking sounds coming from the panel.
- Burned electrical wires.
- Melted or smoking outlets.
- Breakers that constantly trip or fuses that frequently blow.
- The need to turn off some gadgets to use others.
- Melted electrical wires.
- Defective circuit breakers that fall on trip, resulting in shocks, overheating, and fire.
Your business' productivity gets stuck when you're not able to operate at full power. Ignoring these signs can create a further risk to the safety of your customers, employees, and property as outdated wiring can result in a commercial fire or electrical shock.
