• Fuse boxes and circuit breakers are types of service panels that perform the same function: if a circuit is overloaded, the fuse will blow or the breaker will trip to prevent damage to the rest of the system. A circuit breaker can be reset where as a fuse operates only once and must be replaced. If your breakers or fuses trip repeatedly, call an electrician because you may have a problem with your electrical system.
