How Does an Electrical Panel Work?<\/h2>\r\n

An electrical panel takes all the electrical current your utility company supplies to your home and divides it into individually protected circuits through bus bars and a series of circuit breakers.<\/p>\r\n

The electrical panel, wiring, and circuit breakers are each rated for a certain amount of current, measured in amperes or amps. Going over the rated current for a device can generate excessive amounts of heat, which can damage\u00a0the wiring or other components or even cause a fire if the over-current condition is not resolved quickly.<\/p>\r\n

The circuit breakers in an electrical panel protect your home’s wiring from damage caused by excessive current, short circuits, and other conditions, depending on the breaker type. Circuit breakers act like a switch, shutting off the circuit automatically when a fault is detected, and they can be reset to restore power when the fault is corrected.<\/p>\r\n

Older homes often had fuse boxes, which are electrical panels that use\u00a0fuses instead of circuit breakers. When a fault occurs on a fused circuit, a thin piece of metal is heated and destroyed inside the fuse, cutting power to that circuit. To restore power, a new fuse must be installed. Circuit breakers offer better protection against electrical faults and are safer\u00a0than fuses.<\/p>\r\n
