What is an "electrical panel"?
An electrical panel is a metal box that houses the circuit breakers or fuses for a building's electrical system. It controls the distribution of electricity to different areas of the building and helps protect the system from overloads or short circuits. The electrical panel is usually located in a basement, garage, or utility room and allows easy access for maintenance and upgrades.
Examples
The electrician replaced the faulty breaker in the electrical panel to restore power to the living room.
It is important to turn off the main switch on the electrical panel before working on any wiring.
