fuse box Explanation: Could this be caja de fusibles? That's what it sounds like, but I'm not sure.

circuit breaker box Explanation: Located inside or outside of your home is a circuit breaker box (sometimes called a fuse box) that contains circuit breakers for each of the circuits in your home. Some homes have more than one circuit breaker box, there may be a main panel plus one or more sub panels in other locations. A circuit breaker provides protection for each of your electrical circuits by stopping the flow of current if an overload or fault occurs. When an electrical fault occurs or the load on your circuit becomes too great, the breaker on that circuit trips and ceases the flow of current to that circuit. A tripped circuit breaker is still sometimes referred to as a "blown fuse" in reference to the older technology that circuit breakers replaced. If your home uses an actual fuse and not a circuit breaker. Reference: http://doityourself.com/electric/electbreaker.htm Reference: http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/homemaintenance/electrical/ci... |

(flipon) breakers Explanation: Just out of curiosity, I looked for "flipons" in English as that's where the Spanish seems to come from ("flip on"). I found this single ref. on a page about types of obsolete circuit breakers. Flipons 50A 1-3 Pole http://www.cutler-hammer.eaton.com/fred/cscpgh/fred205.htm The second link shows a diagram for "flipon breakers" (figure 2). Based on the fact that this particular type of breaker is obsolete, I would probably just translate it in your context as "circuit breaker box" or "fuse box" as suggested in the previous answers.
