If you are not familiar with the circuit breaker panels, this article posted by EPCB may be useful for you. Nowadays, circuit breaker panels have replaced the outdated fuse panels because we are running more and more electrical products. 

Some circuit breakers can control 120-volt circuits, while others are able to control 240-volt circuitry which can be used for electric dryers, electric ranges, electric water heaters, etc. Among the different circuit breakers, a main circuit breaker, usually a 100-amp or 200-amp main breaker, is the most important one with whom the whole electrical panel is powered.
