Load Centers

About Load Centers

Load centers are used for the protection and distribution of power in a building or residence. They are also called circuit breaker boxes. Typically, load centers mount on a wall. Power from the mains enters the breaker box and is connected to circuit breakers that distribute power to the building. In this way, load centers are used both for holding the circuit breakers and for electrical distribution. Products are available for commercial, residential, and industrial applications at both small installations and large facilities. Load centers for three-phase power are also available, but residential breaker boxes are single-phase devices. Typically, load center are rated in amperage. In the United States, a typical home has a 200-amp service load center.
