fusebox
Electrical distribution center
A fusebox is a metal cabinet containing fuses that protect electrical circuits in a building.
When a circuit overloads, its fuse blows rather than allowing wires to overheat.
Though modern buildings use circuit breakers instead, fusebox persists as a casual term for any electrical panel: The fusebox is in the basement.
