Can you clarify what you mean by a "breaker?"
A breaker is a switch at the mains panel that will trip off the circuit when too much current is drawn. The switch is resettable.
I wonder if this what I call a mains fuse box?
A fuse box has screw in fuses. In the USA this is installation pre 1960. I took out the fuse box at my house recently and replaced it with breakers which I believe to be safer.
What is a "TRF?"
A Tuned Radio Frequency. Generally a Radio Shack model 12-655 is called a TRF here by most DXers. It was an extremely cheap and highly effective DXing machine back before they ended selling about 1975.
Hope this helps.
