Project overview
A distribution board, often called a DB or panel, receives the incoming supply and divides it into separate circuits, each protected by a breaker. A well organised board makes the property safer and makes faults quicker to isolate.
Board work is often needed when a property adds load, when an old board has worn or overheated parts, when breakers keep tripping, or when circuits are poorly labelled. New builds and renovations also need a board planned for the number of circuits required.
UK Electricals takes enquiries for distribution board installation, replacement and tidying in Triplicane and across Chennai. Tell us about the property and what you have noticed.

Questions about distribution board work
What is distribution board work?
It is the installation, replacement or modification of the board that distributes power to circuits and protects them with breakers.
When should a board be looked at?
If breakers trip often, parts look burnt or hot, or the property is adding heavy loads, it is worth having the board checked. If you see smoke or burning, keep clear and call emergency services first.
Can I fix a tripping breaker myself?
Do not open the board or work on live parts yourself. Switching a breaker back on once is one thing; repeated tripping needs a qualified electrician to find the cause.
What should I tell you before a quote?
Share the property type, what is happening and any new loads planned. A photo of the board helps. We may need to inspect first.
