Definition och Betydelse av "fuse box"

What is a "fuse box"?

A fuse box is a safety device in a building's electrical system that contains fuses to protect circuits from overloading or short-circuiting. It is where the main electrical connections are made and distributes electricity to different parts of the building. The fuses inside the box act as protective switches, automatically cutting off the power to a circuit if it becomes overloaded, preventing damage or fire. The fuse box is typically located in a central area of the home, such as a basement or utility room, and is crucial for maintaining electrical safety.
