Iziphuli zesekethe kwizixhobo zombane ezine-voltage ephantsi zibekwe ngobuchule ngaphakathi kwi-switchboard okanye kwiphaneli evalekileyo ngesinyithi, apho i-breaker ephambili ihlala isembindini wokulinganisela umthwalo, kwaye iziphuli ze-breaker ngazinye zibekwe ngokuthe nkqo kwaye zahlulwe ukuze kukhuselwe iisekethe ezithile ezifana nokukhanyisa okanye iindawo zokuphuma. Indawo yesiphatho se-breaker ibonisa imeko yaso, apho "phezulu" ngokuqhelekileyo kubonisa "on" kunye "down" kubonisa "off," nangona indawo kwisakhiwo idla ngokuba yindawo ephakathi okanye efikelelekayo njengegaraji, i-basement, okanye ikhabhathi yezixhobo.
Ukubekwa kwephaneli kunye nebhodi yokutshintsha

Isixhobo esiphambili sokwaphula:
Kwii-switchboards ezinkulu, i-main circuit breaker ibekwa kakuhle kwikholamu ephakathi ukuze isasaze umbane ngokulinganayo kumasebe kumacala omabini, nto leyo enokunciphisa ubungakanani obufunekayo bee-main busbars.

Iziphuli-mthetho ngazinye:
Ngaphakathi kwi-switchboard, ii-breaker ngazinye zihlala zibekwe ngokuthe nkqo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo. I-breaker nganye yenzelwe isekethe ethile, njengezibane okanye iindawo zombane.

Ukufikeleleka:
I-switchboard ngokwayo idla ngokuba kwindawo engenazithuthi ezininzi kwisakhiwo, njengegaraji, i-basement, okanye ikhabhathi yezixhobo zikagesi.
Isikhundla kunye nemeko yomqhekezi

Layita icima:
Indawo yesiphatho ibonisa imeko yesiphatho. Kwiimeko ezininzi, xa isiphatho sikwindawo “ephezulu”, isekethe ivuliwe. Xa sikwindawo “esezantsi”, isekethe ivaliwe.

Ukhubekile:
Ukuba i-breaker ikhubekile ngenxa yempazamo, isiphatho sinokuba kwindawo ephakathi. Ukuze usisete kwakhona, kufuneka uqale uhambise isiphatho kwindawo "yokucima" (ezantsi) ngokupheleleyo ngaphambi kokuba usitshintshele "kwi" (phezulu).
