DISTRIBUTION PANELS IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
In the modern world, the continuous and reliable distribution of electricity is extremely important. At this point, the role played by distribution panels in electrical systems consists of distributing the received energy at Medium or Low Voltage, it means, these panels are responsible for receiving electrical energy and distributing it to various equipment and systems within a facility.
One of the main advantages of using distribution panels in industrial environments is that the circuit design derived from these devices allows for "selective tripping" of circuit breakers. Selective disconnection isolates and disconnects the relevant derived circuit without affecting the entire system. This is particularly crucial in manufacturing plants where equipment downtime can severely impact production.
They also play a significant role in personnel safety concerning electrical faults, one of their primary safety functions is to disconnect electricity in case of overload or short circuit. With recent technological advances, panels help protect employees against arc flash hazards, such as arc explosions — At VMS ENERGY, we strongly recommend the use of these "Arc Resistant" systems to withstand and contain an explosion, providing an added advantage in case of failure. At VMS ENERGY, we specialize in the design and construction of these distribution systems. sugerimos ampliamente el uso de estos sistemas “Arc Resistant” con la finalidad de resistir y contener una explosión, lo que implica una ventaja añadida en caso de fallo.
In summary, distribution panels play a fundamental role in ensuring efficient and safe electrical distribution. Proper selection and design — considering the specific needs of each installation — contribute to the operation of the electrical system.
