A breaker box can be bought from many offline retailers such as Home Depot and Walmart and general hardware stores. Online retailers such as Amazon or eBay will also supply them. A breaker box protects your electricity circuits from overloading and will trip out, temporarily breaking the circuit to avoid damage.
To wire a breaker box to another breaker box, you will need to connect the main power supply to the first breaker box and then run additional wiring from the first breaker box to the second breaker box. Make sure to follow all local electrical codes and safety guidelines when performing this task. It is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician for assistance to ensure proper installation and safety.
