Understand Power Distribution Box

Table of Contents

The distribution box is a fundamental power system device that is responsible for energy distribution, circuit protection, and electrical safety control.
 
In this article, the distribution box will be comprehensively analyzed from the structural composition, working principles, installation requirements, faults, and maintenance points, so that users can better understand its working mechanism and safe operation techniques.
 

What is a distribution box

Distribution box is a very important piece of equipment in the power supply, mainly used for power distribution, control, and protection in order to ensure electrical safety. It is commonly composed of such components as a box, circuit breaker, terminal block, and energy meter, and is used widely in homes, industries, companies, and other places.

The main components of the distribution box

The distribution box consists of two main parts: the outer shell and electrical components. The shell is usually metal or fire-resistant material, and has functions such as dust prevention, water resistance, and explosion prevention

Internally, it consists of the following main components:

Circuit breaker: e.g. air switch, leakage protection switch, dual power automatic transfer switch, which is responsible for overload, short circuit and leakage protection

Surge Protection Device (SPD): three-stage protection mechanism that is designed to safeguard against voltage surges or lightning strikes

Electricity meter: mechanical or electronic, used for measuring electrical energy

Ammeter/voltmeter: detects circuit parameters and has to be connected in parallel or series

Auxiliary equipment: such as relays, contactors, intelligent monitoring modules, etc

Classification of distribution boxes

Surface mounted: attached directly to the wall for ease, suitable for home or office spaces

Concealed installation: Fitted into the wall for fitting, beautiful but hard to service, usually utilized in settings with high decorating requirements

Wall mounted: Attached on the wall, suitable for scenarios with not a lot of space

Floor standing: Attached on the ground or base, often utilized in industrial environments

The core function of the distribution box

Energy distribution: Divide the main circuit electrical energy into various branches to feed the needs of various equipment

Circuit protection: Rapid interruption of overcurrent, short circuit, and leakage through circuit breakers to prevent equipment damage and fire

Monitoring and control: Real-time display of voltage, current, and other parameters, some high-end models with remote intelligent monitoring

Emergency Switching: The dual power automatic transfer switch can switch to the backup power supply smoothly when the main power fails

Installation of distribution box

Fixed method

Open installation: fixed with expansion bolts or pre embedded wooden bricks; Concealed installation: Reserved holes on the wall (20mm larger than the box), embedded and filled with concrete
 
Basic steel installation: Prefabricated steel frame is welded and fixed, with the top 10mm above the ground and reliably grounded (welding area ≥ twice the width of the flat steel)
 

Box and component installation

The components inside the box should be arranged neatly, and the operating components such as circuit breakers and instruments should meet the requirements of arcing distance and creepage distance, indicating the circuit name and purpose
 
Leakage protector: The operating current of the main distribution box is greater than 30mA, the switching box is ≤ 30mA (≤ 15mA in special places), the operating time is ≤ 0.1s, and it needs to be matched with the parameters of the end protection device

 

Distribution box wiring

Wire requirements
 
The colors of the phase lines (L1/L2/L3) are yellow, green, and red in sequence; Neutral wire (N) light blue, ground wire (PE) green yellow dual color, strictly prohibited from mixing
.
The cross-sectional area of the wire matches the load, and multiple strands of wire need to be crimped or tinned. A maximum of 2 wires can be crimped to the same terminal
 

Wiring process

The inlet and outlet of the wire should be sealed with fireproof adhesive or fireproof partitions, and the wire harness should be fixed neatly with a bending radius of ≥ 2 times the diameter of the wire harness

Mother busbar connection: Copper busbar bending requires special tools to avoid cracks; Apply neutral Vaseline to the connection between the busbar and the equipment to prevent oxidation

How to choose a suitable distribution box

Selection of key technical parameters

1.Rated voltage and current
Household distribution boxes usually choose 220V/380V, and the capacity of the main incoming circuit breaker is selected according to the load (such as 63A commonly used for household main switches). The sub circuits are matched according to the equipment power (such as 10A for lighting and 25A for air conditioning)
 
2.Short circuit breaking capacity
Industrial scenarios require high short-circuit breaking capacity (such as 50kA or above), while households can choose around 10kA
 
3.Number of circuits and poles
The number of household circuits is determined based on the number of rooms and appliances, such as 6-12 circuits (including main switch, air conditioning, lighting, sockets, etc.)
Select 1P (single-phase), 1P+N (with leakage protection), or 3P (three-phase) for the number of poles
 

Brand selection

SENTOP, Chint, Delixi, and others offer high cost-effectiveness, comply with international standards, and provide comprehensive after-sales service

Schneider, Siemens, ABB are suitable for high-end demand, but their prices are relatively high

Price factor

The influencing factors on the price of distribution boxes primarily include material, brand, and protection level. Materials used for distribution boxes are usually separated into stainless steel and plastic types. The former is durable and possesses good durability for outdoor or bad environments, and the latter is light, suitable for indoor or those environments with less stringent requirements against corrosion. Based on the different environments for application, you can freely use appropriate materials.

Brand-wise, the performance, quality, and price of distribution boxes of different brands differ tremendously. For example, ABB、 Siemens and other popular global brands are premium brands with high product quality, suitable for events demanding high standards of automation circuits, but at relatively higher prices. If you have limited funds, you can choose ONESTO brand distribution boxes, which offer high quality but are cost-effective and economical.

In addition, the level of protection is another important factor to affect the cost of distribution boxes. According to your own demand, you may choose distribution boxes with different protection levels such as explosion-proof, dustproof, waterproof, etc. to ensure the equipment is operated safely and stably under specific conditions.

Distribution box faults and their handling methods

1. Overload and short circuit faults
Performance: The circuit breaker trips frequently, the temperature of the box rises abnormally, and the insulation layer of the wire is burnt.
solve:
Reduce the load and ensure that the total current does not exceed the rated value of the distribution box;
Use a megohmmeter to detect short circuit points, repair or replace damaged circuits

2. Leakage tripping
Performance: The leakage protector frequently operates, and the equipment casing is electrified.
solve:
Check if the N and PE wires are connected to the dedicated terminal block, ensuring that the grounding resistance is ≤ 4 Ω;
Use splash proof leakage protection in humid environments (operating current ≤ 15mA)

3. Circuit breaker malfunction
Closing failure: may be due to poor button contact, burnt fuse, or damaged electromagnet.
Replace the closing button or fuse core, and check if the control circuit voltage is normal

4. Component aging and poor contact
Symptoms: Blackening of sockets, oxidation of terminals, and overheating of wire joints.
solve:
Replace the blackened socket to prevent excessive resistance from causing a fire;
Tighten loose wiring terminals, use copper wires and install arc separators to prevent arc short circuits

5. Abnormal voltage
Performance: The voltmeter displays too high or too low, and the equipment runs unstably.
solve:
Adjust the transformer tap or capacitor compensation capacity;
Check if the secondary circuit connection of the current transformer is reliable
