Lighting Panelboards

Everything About Lighting Panelboards

Let us first understand the purpose and basic features of electric panelboards. Panelboards are a vital part of any power distribution system. They are used to safely distribute electricity in several industrial, commercial, and residential facilities. A panelboard is one such important part of a power distribution system that is responsible for dividing an electric power feed into subsidiary circuits. While doing so, a panelboard operates through a circuit breaker or fuse that provides protective gear for every respective circuit within the collective enclosure. Why is a panelboard such an essential component for a power distribution system? To state simply, a panelboard offers efficient protection to branch circuits from overloads and short circuits. Panelboards are designed to meet the specifications and regulations set out by UL and NEMA.

There are two types of panelboards. One is called a lighting and appliance panelboard and the other is referred to as a power distribution panelboards. Power distribution panelboards are significantly employed for heavy-duty and large-scale applications. However, lighting panelboards, on the other hand, are used as smaller power distribution panelboards. Lighting panelboards have a wide range of applications in both commercial and industrial lighting systems. These types of panelboards employ bolt-on breakers and have a current rating between 200 A and 800 A.

The main advantage of lighting panel boards is that they are flexible enough to be modified and configured to meet the required requirements and specifications. Additionally, lighting panelboards can be modified as the main breaker panelboard or a main lug panelboard. Irrespective of what you are looking for, lighting panelboards can be switched to function like one of them and vice versa based on your industrial preferences and requirements. Lighting panelboards come in a wide range of designs, configurations, and sizes. They enable multiple-pole circuit arrangements and have a broad range of applications. Lighting panelboards can efficiently function in many industrial spaces like warehouses, commercial spaces, and more.

The Distinction Between Lighting And Power Distribution Control Boards

Like already mentioned, panelboards come in two categories. How do you differentiate between the both of them? Consider this definition. A panelboard is understood to be a lighting panelboard when it has more than 10% of components like breakers and fuses offering protection to the lighting and appliance branch circuits. To state in other words, more than 10% of the total circuit protection devices in a panelboard should be rated 30A or less. Lighting panelboards allow the functioning of only 42 circuits. If that number exceeds, then you have to employ two or more panelboards.

There are a few more details that you have to consider. One has to recognise the difference between circuits and devices. What does that mean? A single 2-pole circuit breaker functions like 2 circuits, though it seems to be a single device. Also, the above-mentioned strict definition that helps to differentiate between power distribution panelboards and lighting panelboards is no longer a compulsory definition that needs to be followed. This limitation has been removed by NEC since 2008. Yet, these definitions are still informally used to identify lighting panelboards and differentiate them from power distribution panelboards. Spike Electric has an expert team of technicians on board that will help you to make the right choice while purchasing a lighting panel board.
