Upper incoming line, lower outgoing line, main circuit on the left, control circuit on the right, horizontal and vertical. The concealed laying is mostly through the pipe and hidden in the building. Before installation, it's important to know what makes up a distribution box. When choosing one, check the IP or NEMA rating. A. Bottom Line Up Front: Your home's distribution box (electrical panel) is typically located in the basement, garage, utility room, or mounted outside near your electrical meter. A concealed DB box is an electrical distribution box installed within walls or ceilings, offering safety, organization. A distribution box is a low-voltage electrical enclosure that receives incoming power and distributes it safely to multiple outgoing circuits through protective and switching devices such as MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs, fuses, isolators, busbars, neutral bars, earth bars, and surge protective devices. The size of submains should be capable to carry current of total load which is connected with DB. Sub-mains are of two types – Single phase submains (1-phase wire + 1-neutral wire. Main switch + one RCD protecting a group of MCBs + a group of MCBs without RCD protection (typically for the non-RCD-required circuits like the cooker).
