5 Safety Tips for Your MCB Distribution Box

Keep Your Home Safe

Your MCB box is the heart of your home's electrical safety. Here are 5 simple tips to keep it functioning perfectly:

  1. Never Block It: Ensure your DB box is easily accessible and not blocked by furniture.
  2. Keep it Dry: Water and electricity are a dangerous mix. Ensure your box is installed in a dry location.
  3. Label Everything: Use clear labels for each circuit. This is a lifesaver during an emergency or simple maintenance.
  4. Don't Overload Circuits: Understand what each circuit controls and avoid plugging too many high-power appliances into one.
  5. Get it Inspected: Have a qualified electrician inspect your panel every few years to check for loose connections or wear and tear.
