Understanding Distribution Boards (DB): Components, Wiring, and Types 🔌 What is a Distribution Board? A Distribution Board (DB) is a vital component of an electrical supply system that divides the electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits. It also provides protective fuses or circuit breakers for each circuit within a single enclosure. In simple terms, it distributes electricity safely throughout a building while protecting circuits from overload and faults. A standard DB includes: A main switch (DP or TPN MCB) One or more Residual Current Devices (RCD/RCCB/RCBO) for leakage and overload protection Outgoing Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) connected to different loads. ⚙️ Parts of a Distribution Board (DB Parts) A DB typically consists of the following sections: 1. Earth Link / Earth Bar – Connects all earth wires from sub-circuits. 2. Neutral Link – Common connection point for all neutral wires. 3. Bus Bar – Distributes the phase supply to all MCBs. 4. Incomer – The main incomi...

⚡ Transmission Towers and Their Design 🌍 Introduction Transmission towers are the steel guardians of our modern power system. They carry high-voltage lines across mountains, rivers, and cities — ensuring electricity reaches every corner. These structures are designed to handle environmental challenges like wind, storms, and earthquakes while keeping power flow stable and safe . The tower design depends on key engineering aspects like load-bearing strength , terrain , height , and material selection , ensuring a perfect balance between stability, efficiency, and cost . 🏗️ Major Types of Transmission Towers 1️⃣ Suspension Towers – Used for straight routes , carrying vertical loads only. 2️⃣ Tension Towers – Placed where the line changes direction or requires mechanical strength. 3️⃣ Terminal Towers – Found at the endpoints of transmission lines, connecting to substations. 4️⃣ Transposition Towers – Rearrange the conductors in AC systems to reduce voltage imbalance . 🧱 St...
