Q. What is a feeder pillar?

Answer

Various names for the electrical equipment cabinet include the power box, distribution pillar, and feeder pillar box. Upstream of the feeder pillar, other circuits receive power from the centralized system and distribute it to the rest of the system. Each circuit is shielded and easy regulation is possible with this design. A feeder pillar box serves a similar purpose to a junction box in that it prevents the spread of fire and other hazards associated with working with live wires and the accumulation of dust and moisture on those wires. Mounted on the sidewalk, these pillars regulate power distribution to the homes in a community.
