Selected
street-side electrical cabinet; circuit breaker panel
Here in Brazil, “caixa de força” refers to the “circuit breaker panel”
I am not sure, but imagine that the “abrigo de força” means the “street-side cabinet” where the power enters a property from the public lines, which is usually accompanied by a “poste padrão”, a small standardized concrete pole.
Also: relogio = meter, and chaves = circuit breakers
