3 phase electrical panel

A 3 phase electrical panel is typically used in commercial, industrial, and large residential settings where more power and greater efficiency are required. This type of panel handles a three-phase power supply, which is more robust and efficient for high-load environments.

Like single-phase panels, three-phase panels have a main breaker that controls the overall power entering the system. However, in a three-phase panel, the main breaker is designed to handle all three incoming wires, shutting off power if an overload or short circuit occurs. One of the key advantages of three-phase panels is the ability to balance loads across the three phases. This helps in preventing overloading on any single phase, providing smoother and more efficient power distribution. 3 phase systems provide a constant power flow, making them ideal for heavy loads and equipment that requires high levels of energy without fluctuation.
