What is the role of an electrical panel in a converted van?

Installing an electrical panel in your converted van will allow you to manage your electrical circuits but also to protect yourself!

It is an essential accessory that has several roles. Indeed, it centralises, controls, distributes and secures your entire electrical installation.

Which electrical panel should I choose for my electrical circuits in my van?

An electrical panel can be oriented vertically or horizontally and include a certain number of illuminated toggle switches. It's up to you to choose the electrical panel best suited to your electrical diagram.

Each on/off switch is associated with a different electrical circuit and allows you to power your equipment (LED spotlight, LED bar, water pump, refrigerator, etc.). The toggle switches on the electrical panel become illuminated when the circuits are powered. This allows you to quickly see which circuits are switched on.

It's easy to understand: the more equipment you have to power, the more electrical circuits you have, the more switches you need on an electrical panel!

Each of the electrical panels offered are pre-wired and supplied with 6 x 32mm glass fuses. Each glass fuse protects an electrical circuit in the event of a malfunction.
