What Is an Electrical Panel?

An electrical panel essentially connects your home or business to an external power line. This panel serves as the main connection and distribution point that delivers power and electricity to different parts of the building. They are also known as fuse boxes, load centers, electrical boxes, breaker boxes or circuit breaker panels.

The most common electrical panels have 100, 150, or 200 service amps. Service amps are the load that flows through the electrical wiring. Newer electrical panels have 200 service amps to keep up with the many appliances and devices we use. This is usually plenty of power for large homes or small businesses. For bigger businesses, more specialized electrical panels may be needed.
