A fuse box, also known as a fuse panel or consumer unit, is a control center for electrical circuits in a building. It contains fuses or circuit breakers that protect the electrical system from overloads and short circuits. The fuse box is typically located in a basement, garage, or utility room and is responsible for distributing electricity to different parts of the building. If a circuit becomes overloaded or a short circuit occurs, the fuse or circuit breaker will trip, cutting off power to that particular circuit and preventing electrical damage or fire hazards.
