fuse panel

Electrical distribution box

A fuse panel is an electrical box containing fuses that protect circuits in a building or vehicle.

When current exceeds safe levels, a fuse blows and breaks the circuit, preventing fires or damage.

Older homes have fuse panels; newer ones typically have circuit breaker panels instead: The electrician recommended replacing the old fuse panel.
