All the electrical repairs whether industrial or commercial are done at the main electrical service panel. This panel is also termed as breaker box. It acts like a switchboard for all the electricity at home. It receives the power supply from the main company and distributes it to each of the circuits that supply electricity to the complete house or unit. An electric panel is said to be a metal / steel box with a door which is usually positioned inside a wall in a corner side of any room. The contents of this box are the breaker switches. The switches can be turned on and off.

In case the electric supply is too much, they get shut off automatically. All the power supply is controlled either with the help of breakers or fuses. Generally, older constructions have fuses. A fuse box is nothing but a set of colored knobs rather than switches. Fuses have a filament that melts, in case of voltage overload and cuts off electricity supply to the circuit. In such situations, the fuse should be replaced immediately. The replacement part is not to be done in case of breakers because they trip in case of overload, only resetting has to be done. The contents of a breaker box include many switches which are circuit breakers.
