Distribution Boards
Power distribution board (PDB) and Lighting distribution board (LDB) are most commonly and widely used in all types of industries and commercial establishments. PDBs are available with large varieties of feeder combinations and metering. They seldom also consist of plug-sockets. LDBs are used to control lighting circuits with time switches with auto-manual operation provisions. They seldom consist of lighting transformers.
Power Distribution Board (PDB)
A Power Distribution Board (PDB) is a key component in electrical systems, commonly used in industrial and commercial settings to distribute power from the main supply to various feeders, which then supply different parts of a facility such as machinery, HVAC systems, and lighting. PDBs are available in various configurations with multiple feeder combinations, ensuring efficient power distribution while maintaining system safety and balance. They often include metering devices for monitoring electricity consumption and managing energy costs. Some PDBs also feature plug-sockets, mainly in commercial settings, and are protected by circuit breakers or fuses to prevent overloads and short circuits.
Lighting Distribution Board (LDB)
A Lighting Distribution Board (LDB) is designed to control lighting circuits within a facility, offering centralized management for efficient operation and energy savings. A key feature of LDBs is time switches, which automate lighting based on schedules, with options for both auto and manual control. This helps reduce energy consumption by ensuring lights are on only when needed, especially in large commercial or industrial settings. LDBs may also include lighting transformers for specialized low-voltage applications, though this is less common. Equipped with circuit breakers for overload protection, LDBs ensure safe operation and enhance lighting efficiency and safety.
