Advantages of Using TPN Distribution Board & Automatic Lighting

When you install a distribution board, the MCB should be connected at the incoming point. When a three-phase distribution panel is used, you can use a TPN Distribution Board to provide in-flowing protection. In these triple pole protection units, the impact on switching and protection is only on the 3 phases. The neutral doesn’t get affected. This guide explores the applications and functioning of these triple phase distribution board, MCBs and automatic lighting for your building.

TPN Distribution Boards

An mcb is mostly used when there are two sources of incoming to the panel. These two sources are the utility and emergency generator source. These systems are recommended in the following scenario.

TPN MCBs are commonly used when there are multiple incoming sources. In such cases, it is important that at least one of the incomers connected to a TPN breaker. When it comes to multiple incomer power sources, it is not possible to mix up the neutrals of the two sources. In this case, the TPN/MCB can be used in place of TP MCB for cutting off the other power source’s neutral against the incoming power source’s neutral. This is important to ensure safety at all times.

A TPN mcb provides and edge whenever a pole of the device gets damaged. It will ensure isolation when there is neutral voltage. In most cases, neutral cannot be allowed to break in. This is important from the perspective of safety. So even when there is a single incoming power source, a triple pole breaker will be used. In such scenarios, the phases are isolated only when operations are broken.

Automatic Lighting

While TPN/MCB boards help protect both humans and equipment, automatic lighting system also enhances safety in your home. As the name suggests, these light systems can trigger on by themselves on detecting someone’s presence or when scheduled to turn on. There are many advantages of using such lights.

• You can set your home’s lighting to turn on and off automatically at set time. This can help in creating an illusion that there is someone in your home, thus thwarting thieves from breaking in. Thus, automatic lighting system can help increase safety of your home.
• These lights can also help increase safety when you enter your home and rooms. There is no need to fumble in the dark to find the light switches. In fact, automatic lights can turn on detecting human presence in dark areas too. This can increase safety at so many levels. While this will prevent you from falling in the dark, it can also illuminate an area if an intruder enters. This can alert them and force them to leave.
• Automatic lighting also helps enhance your home’s looks. It adds a modern look and feel to your property and thus also enhances your home’s value.
• You can program the lighting to work around your schedule. The lights can be turned on and off based on your schedule.

Thus, there are many advantages of installing automatic lighting system in your home or even in your office. Besides, when it comes to increasing safety, you should also install the right type of TPN/MCB to protect both human life and costly appliances.
