subpanel
Secondary electrical distribution
A subpanel is a secondary electrical panel that receives power from the main breaker panel and distributes it to a specific area or set of circuits: We installed a subpanel in the garage for the workshop tools.
In other contexts, a subpanel is a smaller section within a larger panel—a subdivision of a comic page, a breakout group within a conference panel, or a component mounted within equipment housing.
