    The fuse box is typically located 
NEAR the electricity meter, which is where the power supply enters your home. It is important to locate the fuse box quickly in case of an emergency.

    The fuse box contains fuses or circuit breakers that regulate the flow of electricity throughout your home. If there is an overcurrent, the fuse or circuit breaker will trip, cutting off the power to prevent damage.

    When a fuse trips, it will need to be reset or replaced. This can be done by following the instructions in your fuse box manual or by contacting a qualified electrician.

    When experiencing a power outage, one of the first things to check is the fuse box, also known as the trip switches. This is an essential component of the electrical system that protects your home from potential damage caused by overcurrent.
