Where are load centres used?
Load centres have a wide range of applications, from single family homes to original equipment (OEM) products. They range from 40–600 amps and can have 2–120 circuits.
Residential single family
Typically have one or more load centres to distribute power inside the home. Commonly located in the garage, the basement or outdoors, depending on the geography.
Residential multi-family
Apartments and flats most commonly use load centres to distribute power. Commonly installed in group metering products.
Light commercial
Load centres provide power distribution in light commercial buildings, such as shopping centres, office buildings and warehouses.
Renovation
Load centres can also be used to upgrade and replace older distribution equipment.
Original equipment (OEM)
Machinery OEMs use load centres as a means to distribute power in their electrical systems.
There are multiple ways to install a load centre
Service entrance or main breaker panel
- The point at which the power enters the home or building
- There can only be one service entrance panel per home or building
- Neutral and ground bars can be tied together
Sub panel or main lug only
- Used downstream from the service entrance panel
- Ideal when adding additional electrical services to an existing home or building
- Typically powered from a branch circuit housed in the service entrance panel
- An isolated and insulated neutral bar and a dedicated ground bar are required
Flush-mounted
- Typically recessed in stud walls to save space
Surface-mounted
- Mounted to the wall surface
- Typically applied in buildings, basements or garages
What is the difference between a main lug only and main circuit breaker load centre?
Load centres can be equipped with a main breaker or main lug only (MLO) design. In a load centre with a main breaker design, the incoming supply cables are connected directly to the main circuit breaker. The main circuit breaker provides a level of overcurrent protection for all branch circuits as well as a single disconnect means for all loads being fed by the load centre.
Main-lug-only load centres are typically applied downstream from a main circuit breaker panel and are often referred to as a sub panel. For main-lug-only load centres, the incoming cables are terminated on the line side of the lugs that are attached directly to the bus; no main overcurrent device exists within the panel.
