This is an electrical circuit breaker. It is a device that trips, or 
disconnects, on an over current condition. It is not a fuse. There is a 
handle of the circuit breaker which can be set to the n or the off 
position, as well ad a trip condition which is often halfway between on 
and off.

Might be if the box you describe has resettable over current protection 
devices.

Yes.

What is a "TRF?"
