What Is an Electrical Panel?
An Electrical Panel, often also called an electrical control panel or distribution board, is an enclosure or cabinet that serves as the central control and primary distribution point for electrical power within a building or facility. This component integrates various electrical devices such as circuit breakers, switches, meters, relays, contactors, and other protective devices. Its purpose is to receive electrical power from a main source (e.g., a distribution transformer or generator), and then distribute it safely and efficiently to various circuits and electrical loads throughout the installation. An electrical panel also serves as a central point for protection against electrical faults such as overcurrent, short circuit, and ground fault, thereby preventing equipment damage and fire hazards. Without a properly designed and installed electrical panel, the electrical system would be vulnerable to faults, inefficient, and potentially dangerous. PT Sentra Elektrikal Prima provides various types of electrical panels designed to meet the highest safety and performance standards.

The basic materials used in the construction of an Electrical Panel are crucial for its durability, safety, and functionality. Generally, the panel cabinet is made of high-quality sheet steel coated with anti-corrosion paint or stainless steel for more corrosive or sanitary environments. Inside, busbars (conductor bars) are made of pure copper or aluminum for optimal electrical conductivity and high current capacity. Internal components such as circuit breakers, contactors, and relays come from reputable manufacturers that meet international safety and performance standards. Internal wiring uses high-quality insulation to prevent short circuits and ensure safe power flow. For certain panel types, such as arc-resistant panels, the material and construction design will be more advanced to withstand electrical arc blasts. PT Sentra Elektrikal Prima ensures that every panel we assemble or distribute uses the best materials and is manufactured to strict industry standards.
Common characteristics of an Electrical Panel include nominal voltage (e.g., low, medium), nominal current, breaking capacity, Ingress Protection (IP rating) against dust and water, installation type (e.g., wall-mounted, floor-standing, outdoor), and safety features such as mechanical or electrical interlocks. Electrical panels are designed to operate at standard frequencies (50 Hz or 60 Hz) and must be able to withstand diverse environmental conditions, including temperature fluctuations and humidity. The efficiency of a panel lies not only in its components but also in a neat and logical internal layout, which facilitates installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. A modular design also allows for scalability and future circuit additions. The selection of the right panel largely depends on load requirements, installation environment, and applicable safety standards. PT Sentra Elektrikal Prima offers technical consultation to help you choose the most suitable electrical panel for your project needs. For more information on our services, visit our services page.
Product Functions
An Electrical Panel has several essential functions that make it a vital control center in any electrical system:
- Electrical Power Distribution: Its primary function is to receive electrical power from a main source (e.g., transformer or utility grid) and distribute it to various branch circuits and electrical loads throughout the facility in an organized manner.
- Circuit & Equipment Protection: Protects circuits and equipment from damage due to abnormal conditions such as overcurrent, short circuit, overvoltage, and ground fault through the use of circuit breakers (MCB, MCCB, ACB) and protective relays.
- System Control & Operation: Provides a central point for controlling the operation of electrical equipment, such as turning motors, pumps, or lighting systems on/off, via switches, contactors, and control buttons.
- Measurement & Monitoring: Equipped with meters (voltmeters, ammeters, kWh meters, power meters) and indicators (pilot lights) to monitor important electrical parameters such as voltage, current, power, and energy consumption, enabling effective energy management.
- Isolation & Safety: Allows for the electrical isolation of specific parts of the system for maintenance or repair purposes without shutting down the entire power supply, enhancing personnel safety.
- Reactive Power Compensation (for Capacitor Bank Panels): Some electrical panels, such as capacitor bank panels, function to correct the system's power factor, reducing power losses and improving overall energy efficiency.
- Automation System Integration: Electrical panels often house PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and other automation devices, enabling integrated and centralized control of industrial processes.
