Construction switchboards are equipped with various types of sockets (single-phase and three-phase), which allows for the connection of a wide range of devices.
A key element of every switchboard is protection, such as differential or overcurrent circuit breakers, which protect users and equipment against overloads, short circuits and electric shock.a
