Electric switchboard

An electric switchboard is like a big control panel full of switches. Its purpose is to control how electricity is used and distributed in a building. The switchboard picks up the electricity from one source, like a power plant, and divides it among many different circuits and devices that need power in the building. Each of the switches on the switchboard allows you to direct the electricity to the devices that need it, like lights, TVs, and computers. By turning the switches, you can make sure the devices get all the electricity they need and turn off devices that you don't need.
