What is a distribution box？

Distribution box refers to a closed or metal or plastic box. In order to protect the water and leakage of electricity at the connection of the meter, the distribution box constitutes an important part of the electrical wiring. But no matter where the distribution box is used, the accessories contained in it are similar. Let's take a look at the common accessories of the distribution box.

1. Switchgear
A switch used to control the electricity consumption of a certain area, including the main switch and various switches that distinguish electricity consumption in specific places. Generally, switchgear includes high-voltage power distribution cabinets, generators, transformers, power lines, circuit breakers, low-voltage switch cabinets, switchboards, switch boxes, control boxes and other power distribution equipment.

2. Measuring instrument
Equipment used to measure various natural quantities, including thermometers, flow meters, liquid level gauges, press gauges, and gas analyzers.

3. Protect electrical appliances and auxiliary equipment

Including air switch, leakage protection switch, dual power automatic transfer switch and other equipment. Among them, the air switch is also called an air circuit breaker. When a fault current occurs in the circuit, the air switch will automatically trip to protect the electrical appliance. The leakage protection switch will automatically trip when the human body touches the power supply to ensure the safety of people. The dual power transfer switch is to allow the power supply to automatically switch the power line under the condition of the power supply load.
