Description
What’s the difference between a distribution panel and a distribution board?
A distribution panel sits upstream in the electrical system, typically receiving power directly from a transformer, generator, or main incomer and feeding several distribution boards or large equipment. A distribution board (DB) is the smaller, final-circuit board closer to the end load.
On a typical commercial building, power flows: transformer/generator → main distribution panel → sub-distribution panels per floor → distribution boards per office or apartment.
Does Fembosco build custom panels or only supply off-the-shelf boards?
Fembosco has an in-house panel-building capability and designs distribution panels to a client’s single-line diagram, using Legrand, ABB, and Schneider components as specified.
- Low voltage panels up to 6000A
- Motor control centres (MCCs) for industrial plant
- Main and sub-main distribution panels for commercial buildings
- Panels built to IP42 indoor or IP65 outdoor/weatherproof rating
Who typically orders custom distribution panels from Fembosco?
Mechanical & electrical (M&E) contractors on commercial building projects, industrial facility owners upgrading plant power distribution, and EPC contractors on utility and manufacturing projects account for most of Fembosco’s panel-building orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a custom distribution panel take to build?
Lead time depends on panel complexity and current rating — Fembosco confirms a build timeline once your single-line diagram and component specification are reviewed.
Can Fembosco supply the switchgear brand specified in my project’s BOQ?
Yes — Fembosco is an authorized distributor for Legrand and ABB and can source Schneider and other brands to match your BOQ specification exactly.
