What is the effect of using Electrical Boxes / Fuseboxes in Cyberpunk 2077?

Arqade Asked on January 17, 2021

In Cyberpunk 2077, in enemy territories there are fuseboxes or electrical boxes at walls. I check the criteria to use them but once I do, I don’t understand their effect.

What effect has using the Fusebox?
Fusebox

All fuse boxes can be quick hacked to cause a localised distraction (which will attract the attention of nearby enemies) or initiate an overload (which will cause a small localised explosion damaging nearby enemies).

Using your technical ability on a fuse box (when available) will temporarily disable all cameras on the local network. Both quick hacking and using your technical ability on a fuse box will give you experience.

In addition to this, a small number of fuse boxes can be interacted with as part of missions (such as the fuse box to enable power during the Ghost Town mission) and several others (for example at the back of Clouds) can be interacted with using the technical ability.

There’s one in a hostile area in the badlands that turns off all cameras in the area, the rest probably have similar effects

you can use your "PING" ability to find where these "fuse boxes" are, and use them as just a simple way to gain some easy EXP if youre a playing "tech" build as far as your character skills goes... Example: Using "PING"in the "DISASTERPIECE" mission whhen you sneak into the warehouse from the second floor, (in a wide open area such as the "Warehouse" this is more easily noticed.) but in that mission, its inhabited by the "scavs" and using "PING" will show lines coming off the item you are pinging initially, and then they will sometimes show orangish lines leading back to the electrical systems/networks they are tied to, then if you keep watching they will change into "blueish-green" colored lines, it's my belief that these secondary lines are showing the items in the network that have a direct effector are directly affected BY on the item you are pinging. Thus letting you know where to score some easy tech points by interacting with the circuit-box OR, to gain some quickhack parts and money via tracing back to network "Hubs" that you can "Jack in" to.
