subpanels
Secondary electrical distribution boxes
Subpanels are secondary electrical panels that receive power from the main breaker panel and distribute it to a specific area or circuit group: The garage has its own subpanel.
In other contexts, subpanels are subdivisions within a larger panel—whether in comics, user interfaces, or administrative bodies: The committee formed subpanels to address each issue separately.
