Fuse PanelFuse Panel
The electrical system is protected from overload
damage by fuses. If an electrical component fails to
operate, check the fuse box panel rst to ensure that a
fuse has not “blown.” A blown fuse is an indication that
there is an overload that needs to be corrected.
The fuse panel is located inside the junction box for
convenient access. (Figure 5-24)
