PANELS

Before installing you should understand electrical safety functions. The main service panel is what safeguards your system from dangerous malfunctions. This panel houses the main switch where you can manually stop the flow of electricity.It cuts off power of all branch circuits automatically when it detects hazardaus power levels.

Electrical components with high capacity are always better. You can install two hot bars instead of one. If the capacity is too low you risk overcurrent which can lead to fire or electric shock. You should also make sure your neutral bus can safely accommodate the spent current as it returns to the service entrance conductor.
