What are pigtails in a breaker box?

Pigtails in a breaker box refer to short lengths of wire that connect the main power supply to individual circuit breakers. They are typically used to distribute electricity to multiple circuits from a single power source. Pigtails ensure that each circuit can be individually controlled and protected by its own breaker, enhancing safety and organization within the electrical panel. Properly installed pigtails also help in maintaining a neat and efficient wiring layout.
