Panel Box

Types of Box Panels

1. Metal Electrical Panel Box

Made of metal, this type of panel box is believed to have good security in maintaining and controlling components as well as electrical cables from the reach of humans or animals.

Although it can guarantee the safety of electrical panel components properly, box panels made of metal will release heat more quickly, and are more susceptible to corrosion.

The advantage of choosing an electrical panel box made of metal is that it is easy to modify compared to other electrical panel box materials

2. Thermoplastic Electrical Panel Box

Thermoplastic is a material resembling plastic which has the ability to retain heat. Unlike plastic, which usually melts when exposed to heat or high voltage.

Thermoplastic panel boxes are superior in their resistance to corrosion compared to metal box panels.

3. Fiberglass Electrical Panel Box

Having similarities with electrical panel boxes made of thermoplastic, this type of panel box also has more resistance and security than metal electrical panel boxes. Fiberglass material is known to be more resistant to corrosion than metal materials, this type also has strength at the edges.

However, the panel box made of fiberglass also has the same drawback as the thermoplastic panel box, which is that it has a hard lid that makes it difficult to change or modify its shape.

Those are some types of electrical panel boxes that you need to know. Make sure to use quality panel boxes such as Jaya stainless panel boxes, Schneider panel boxes, Tibox panel boxes.
