What Is an Electrical Panel and How Does It Work?

Your home’s electrical panel is typically found in your basement, garage, or where other utilities are stored. It regulates the electricity moving throughout your home’s different lights, outlets, and appliances. It is designed to cut electricity immediately when it detects an electrical overload. Families rely on more electronics than ever, multiple TVs, cellphone chargers, computers, and much more, which puts additional stress on your electrical panel. Unfortunately, as your electrical panel ages, it may have trouble handling your home’s electrical needs, which can lead to electrocution and house fires. If your panel is more than ten years old, it may be time to have it inspected. Discover how electrical panels are designed to power your home and keep you safe:

  • Electricity Leaves the Panel and Travels on an Energized Wire
  • The Electricity Arrives at the Outlet to Power the Electronic Device
  • The Current Then Returns to the Panel Through a Neutral Wire
