What is the function of a building’s electrical distribution panel?

The function of a building's electrical distribution panel is to receive, distribute, and protect electricity that enters the building from the main power source. It serves as the central hub for the electrical system and is responsible for distributing and controlling the electricity to various circuits and electrical fixtures throughout the building. The distribution panel also contains circuit breakers or fuses that protect the building's electrical system from overloading or short circuiting.
