What is the basic purpose for using an electric panel?
The basic purpose of an electrical panel is to distribute the proper voltages and currents to the required loads connected to the electrical panel. Installed in the electrical panel are protective devices are known as breakers. Each breaker protects the load supply wire and does not allow the current to rise above the wires amperage rating. If the circuit load current does rise above the wire's ampacity, due to a short circuit in the load, the breaker disconnects the fault from the supply system and still allows the other circuits connected to the panel to operate without interruption.
