Distribution Equipment Family Overview- Panelboards

Panel Selection Factors

Basic information required when specifying panelboards is as follows:

Service Requirements – Voltage, phases and frequency
Interrupting Capacity
Amperage Rating of Main (Lugs only or Breaker)
Branch Breaker Requirements including

Type
Number
Poles
Amperage
GFCI Requirements
Quantity of each

Specifying and ordering a COMPLETE PANELBOARD ASSEMBLY requires the selection of three components.

Basic Panel
Branch Breakers
Modifications and Options, as required.

This ordering methodology permits a wide variety of choices and maximizes circuit flexibility in the Killark panelboard series.

The Circuit Breaker Panelboards product range includes Prism B7L (Lighting Panelboards) and B7P (Power Panelboards), which are explosion-proof and NEMA 4X rated.
