Best Answer

The switch turns the supply on and off whilst the distribution board takes the incoming supply and separates it into the various loads - lighting, cooker, shower, sockets, etc.

In modern domestic electricity supplies the distribution board usually incorporate a mains switch but in the earlier days of electricitythe switchwould be mounted separately from the 'fuse box' because the materials used were quite bulky in comparison to modern alloys and plastics.
