Electricity panels and the history of their development:

The discovery of electricity is the key to the achievements of the eighteenth century. After the discovery of electricity, human life was completely transformed for the better and humanity officially entered its most prosperous era. Electricity improved human life at all levels.

The scientist Benjamin Franklin was the first to discover electricity in 1752 during a thunderstorm that struck him and almost killed him because of its electrical charge.

Since then, Benjamin Franklin began his research on how to generate and use electricity, and then electricity appeared as we know it now in our modern era, which depends on electrical waves between two conductors.

Electricity began to spread widely in European countries at the beginning of its discovery, and it was the main reason for the European Industrial Revolution that started in England in the middle of the eighteenth century, due to its complete dependence on electrically operated machines.

Accordingly, people felt the importance of electricity in their lives and were certain that it was indispensable. It makes people’s lives easier and more effective, and also provides them with comfort in accomplishing the various tasks of their lives.

With the passage of time, electrical tools develop rapidly at all levels in order to meet the different needs of consumers for modern, diverse and multi-use electrical tools.

In this context, electrical tool companies emerged successively based on the discovery of electricity to keep pace with this great development, and electrical tool companies began to diversify their own products and diversify the uses of these products to suit the needs of the different market.

Use of electrical panels

Electricity panels were among these products, and they are the focus of this article

Apartment electrical panels are an essential product in any home, and the electrical panel is considered the essential step in establishing your home’s electricity

The apartment’s electricity distribution panel comes for one use, which is to distribute the electricity breakers within it, which is necessary to control your home’s electricity through one panel that is divided into multiple breakers for different places in your home.

The mission of these panels is to provide you with control over the electricity of the different rooms of your apartment or company, where you can turn off some of these unnecessary or unused places through one electricity panel, or you can turn on the electricity in other places according to your desire or when you need it.

Electricity panels also enable you to turn off the electricity completely when traveling or at the end of the work day in your workplace as a form of safety.

Design and types of electrical panels

Electricity panels are designed in several types and shapes, including electricity panels for high loads called main distribution panels. They are used for buildings, factories, companies and banks and most often come in the form of a large metal panel.

The main electricity panels are divided into several sizes, starting with 28 lines, which are designated for relatively small establishments, and ending with 48 lines, which are designated for large establishments. Sometimes you need several electricity panels to cover one factory or a huge company.

There are electrical panels for light loads, called apartment electrical panels, which are the most common among consumers, and most often come in the form of a small plastic panel.

Apartment electricity panels are divided into several sizes, starting with a 4-line electricity panel, which is for very small apartments, and extending to a 24-line electricity panel, which is designated for villas and duplex floors.

There are also electrical panels in each category of different sizes and shapes to suit the size of the place allocated to it, the decorations present in this place, and the appropriate use of these panels.

Installing electrical panels

Apartment electrical panels are installed in two different ways: either installed inside the wall or mounted on the wall from the outside

The electrician must take into account the size and use of apartment electricity panels and main distribution boards when installing them, whether inside apartments or in various establishments such as companies and shops, especially factories. The electrician must take into account the current and future loads and needs of the factory so that the technician does not find himself in front of The challenge of installing new electrical panels and redistributing breakers within the electrical panels again

The electrician must also take into account the type and quality of the apartment’s electrical panels and the main distribution panels, in order to ensure the survival and continuity of these panels for life, and to guarantee to his clients the necessary safety factor in these panels because they are the main control of electricity as a whole.

Manufacture of electrical panels

Electrical appliances companies manufacture electrical panels from different materials. Some of these companies only manufacture electrical panels from compressed plastic, while others manufacture them from polycarbonate to provide the highest quality to consumers.

The advantage of electrical panels made of polycarbonate is that they are resistant to flames. Polycarbonate is a material that does not contribute to combustion and decomposes when it comes into contact with fire. However, the cost of polycarbonate electrical panels is higher than its counterparts.

While other electrical panels are made of compressed plastic, they are of lower quality and are not resistant to flame, so their cost is lower than polycarbonate panels and they are cheaper in price.

Electrical panel companies compete to provide the highest quality for the price, but some of them are unable to combine quality and price to provide the appropriate mix for the consumer, especially in polycarbonate electrical panels, as they are rarely available at the appropriate price for all consumers.
