breaker panels
Electrical distribution boxes
A breaker panel is the metal box where a building's main electrical supply divides into individual circuits, each protected by a circuit breaker.
When a circuit draws too much current, its breaker trips and cuts power to prevent fires.
The electrician added a new line to the breaker panel for the hot tub.
Also called a breaker box, electrical panel, or fuse box (though modern panels use breakers rather than fuses).
