In everyday electrical terminology, "breaker panel" and "load center" are frequently used interchangeably, but technical distinctions exist. A load center is specifically a type of panelboard designed for residential or light commercial applications to receive utility power and distribute it to branch circuits via plug-in breakers. A broader breaker panel classification can also encompass heavy-duty commercial switchboards, industrial distribution panels, and multi-phase configurations handling much higher amperage capacities.
