Understanding Breaker Boxes and Fuses

The video tutorial explains the safety features in home electrical systems, focusing on breaker boxes and fuses. It describes how these components prevent circuit overloads by disconnecting the circuit when too many appliances are running simultaneously. Breaker boxes, commonly found in basements or garages, can be reset after an overload. In contrast, fuses, typically found in older homes, must be replaced after they blow. The tutorial highlights the importance of using the correct amperage for fuses.
