electrical room

Building's circuit center

An electrical room is a dedicated space in a building that houses electrical distribution equipment—panels, transformers, switchgear, and circuit breakers.

Access is typically restricted to authorized personnel due to high-voltage hazards.

Most commercial and industrial buildings have at least one: The maintenance crew traced the outage to a tripped breaker in the electrical room.
