# Industrial Specification: Metering Panel

## 1. Technical Definition
A specialized panel within a power switchboard that houses and displays electrical measurement instruments for monitoring power system parameters.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-1000 V AC, 0-5000 A, 0-65°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Insulation breakdown at 1500 V AC, CT saturation at 6000 A, component failure at 85°C**, Mechanism: **Dielectric breakdown at 30 kV/mm electric field strength, magnetic core saturation at 1.6 T flux density, semiconductor junction failure at 150°C junction temperature**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Governs heating element sizing for shrink tunnels/sealers.
