3 phase distribution boards are panels that house the circuit breakers, ground leakage protection units and fuses that are used to distribute power to individual consumer points or circuits within a building. They are generally used in larger industrial, public and commercial settings although can also be used within some domestic environments. A core function of a 3 phase consumer unit is to allow individual circuits to draw power direct from the breakers while isolating them without disrupting the rest of the supply. They are also an important safety feature as they offer protection from electric shocks and fires resulting from any faults in equipment.
