Resistive losses

" The amount of power going into a switchboard must always equal to the power going out to the loads."

is impossible, albeit very close. Resistive losses always occur. 86.29.7.158 (talk) 10:53, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that any such resistive losses are negligible, relative to the power transmitted by even a fairly modest switchboard. Otherwise it would soon overheat. Andy Dingley (talk) 02:16, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Switchboard Sections

" A switchboard is divided into different interconnected sections, generally consisting of a main section and a distribution section. These two sections are sometimes replaced by a combination section, which is a section that can fulfill the roles of both aforementioned sections. Switchboards can also sometimes come with an auxiliary section that is used to house devices that cannot be housed in the same section as other devices."

Should this part be added to components instead? The sections aren't components themselves but it seems a little out of place in the intro. Ryan Whritenour (talk) 09:31, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
