A stable electrical system is the foundation of any facility’s daily operations. Whether it’s a commercial complex, a factory floor, or a public utility, uninterrupted power distribution ensures safety, productivity, and operational continuity. To manage that power effectively, every system depends on a Low Voltage Distribution Panel (LVDP), the central point that controls, protects, and distributes electricity across all connected equipment.
What is a Low Voltage Distribution Panel?
A Low Voltage Distribution Panel is a metal enclosure that houses protection, control, and connection devices to safely distribute electrical power. Technically, low voltage refers to systems operating below 1,000 volts AC.
Its main role is to receive power from the primary source (such as transformers or switchgear) and distribute it to different circuits or zones in a facility through feeders and branch circuits.
Common components include:
- Main Circuit Breaker (MCCB) or switchgear for controlling incoming power
- Busbars for balanced power distribution
- Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB) for branch circuit protection
- Neutral and grounding terminals to ensure system safety
As an official partner of Schneider Electric, Prima Panel Nusantara provides BlokSeT Low Voltage Distribution Panels (LVDP) that are safe, flexible, and reliable low-voltage power distribution solutions. Equipped with premium circuit breakers to protect systems from electrical faults, these panels can be configured in either fixed or withdrawable formats to suit facility needs.
BlokSeT support integration with monitoring and automation systems and are designed to withstand challenging environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, dust, and vibration.
Functions and Benefits
The LVDP serves as a centralized system that simplifies control, maintenance, and safety across an entire facility.
Key benefits include:
- Safe Power Distribution: Ensures precise voltage and current delivery across all loads.
- Equipment Protection: Automatically isolates faults during overloads or short circuits.
- Ease of Maintenance: Centralized design allows for section-by-section maintenance without full system shutdown.
Types of Low Voltage Distribution Panels
LVDPs are categorized based on their role in the power distribution hierarchy:
- Main Distribution Panel (MDP): The primary panel that receives power from transformers or main sources and distributes it to sub-panels.
- Sub Distribution Panel (SDP): Receives power from the MDP and distributes it to specific areas or floors within a facility.
- Final Distribution Board (FDB): The end point that supplies branch circuits for lighting, outlets, and smaller equipment.
Advantages of Using Quality LVDP Systems
- Organized Power Management: Streamlined layout for easier troubleshooting and monitoring
- Enhanced Protection: Coordinated circuit protection ensures only faulty lines are isolated
- Energy Efficiency and Scalability: Designed to monitor consumption and support future expansion
BlokSeT panels are type-tested and certified to IEC 61439-1 & 2, ensuring consistent performance and safety. They offer modular design options with busbar capacity up to 7000 A and short-circuit withstand up to 100 kA. Integration with Modbus, Ethernet, and Profibus enables real-time monitoring and control for smarter energy management.
With Prima Panel Nusantara’s engineering expertise and certified fabrication capabilities, every BlokSeT system is tailored for reliability, performance, and long-term efficiency.
Tips for Selecting the Right Distribution Panel
- Assess Power Demand: Include at least 25% extra capacity for future expansion.
- Use Certified Components: Ensure all breakers and protective devices comply with IEC, UL, or SNI standards.
- Prioritize Safety and Accessibility: Provide proper clearances and labeling for safe operation and maintenance.
