It comes into the home from the electrical grid. It enters the home through a meter base and is fed into the service panel. This panel routes the electricity to each circuit in the home. Each circuit is protected by a breaker designed to trip and shut off power if the circuit becomes overloaded or there is a short in the circuit. A typical home will have a 200 amp service containing 40-42 separate breaker locations and one main breaker that shuts off power to the entire home.
