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.
