This photo is of a fuse box. A fuse box is put in every home as a safety precaution. A fuse box is wired in a series which means if one of the circuit breaker trips, all the power will be cut off. A circuit breaker trips when too much current is present. This high current is caused when many appliances are plugged into the wall. The more appliances are plugged in, the greater the current. This increase in current occurs since most homes are wired in a parallel circuit. A fuse box will immediately shut off all electricity in a house when it detects a high current. This protects our house from electrical fires.
