Their main task is to protect cable connections from damage, various influences of dust, moisture and dirt, which could lead to a short circuit or an accident of the electrical system.
Junction boxes and consoles can be used as enclosures. Also, the junction box can also serve as a container to store electrical components, as well as to protect cables through which electricity flows, also prevent the possibility of fire or other accident. Junction boxes have a convenient and stable cover, which gives an aesthetic appearance and provides a convenient opportunity for service and correction of electrical connections if necessary.
