Tim made some great points and put a lot of detailed information there. My contribution is far smaller but this is how I pulled myself into understanding Fusebox hope it's not confusing.
Let's say you were a stand alone Home Improvement store and your store is DIY-RUS.
Your Fusebox Application would be DIY-RUS the whole store.
Your Circuits would be each department in the store and a Circuit in Fusebox is usually a File Folder/Directory on your system. So you would have a Plumbing Circuit, a Gardening Circuit, an Electrical Circuit (quite apt :-) etc.
A Fuseaction in Fusebox is equivalent to a customer in your store doing something or better described causing a series of actions to happen. So a customer going to a checkout is a Fuseaction.
The Check-out is a Case block in your Fbx_switch file. The Fuseaction "Checkout" let's say run's the Case block and inside that block are your Fuses. (At last we are getting near to ColdFusion stuff!). Each fuse will be a ColdFusion template and will do something related to in this Case the Checkout Fuseaction.
This is a very basic and hopefully not condescending view of the overall relationships of Application to Circuit to Fuseaction to Case block to Fuses as I saw them. I hope this helps, what I can tell you is that when you have grasped the Fusebox Methodology you will be constantly amazed by where you can and will go in building apps, it's awesome stuff.
