Electrical power panel

Electrical power panels are among the most critical components of any home. They send power to various parts of a house via a series of wires and circuits. These are often located in a basement or utility room, something like a special place to store tools and equipment. Inside the panels, there are large toggles that switch electricity on and off. These switches control the electrical panels giving power to each of the rooms and ensuring that as everything in the house requires power, it gets it where it needs to go, be it to an oven, toaster, or washing machine and dryer. 

The panels are also equipped with circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are inbuilt safety devices that prevent wires and circuits from overloading with current. This safety is extremely crucial because high current (Too much current) can cause fires, which is very harmful. With increasing electricity, the circuit breaker will cut off it automatically. In other words, you can look at circuit breaker as a watchdog that ensures electrical supply to stay safe and not cause any damage.

What every Homeowner should know about Electrical Power Panels

All homeowners should be made aware of where their electrical power panel is located. That knowledge is very important because, if something should happen, you want to be able to turn the electricity off quickly. Homeowners also should label the circuits in their panel. Labeling makes it easier for them to keep track of what breaker controls what part of the house. They might call one breaker "Living Room" and another "Kitchen," for example. This makes it easy for them to know where there is a need to switch off power to a particular section. 

Also, homeowners should be careful not to overload the circuits in their homes. Overloading occurs when too many devices or appliances are plugged into a single outlet, or too many lights are used on a single circuit. When that happens, the circuit breakers trip, meaning they cease power in order to avoid damage. Overloading circuits is really dangerous so we must be cautious of how many machines are plugged in at one point in time.
