| | distribution board, consumer unit | Explanation:
In its simplest form, a 'groepenkast' ('groep' refers to a single power circuit) is simply a fusebox, as someone already noted. However, in a modern industrial setting, one term frequently used is 'distribution board'. A modern installation will require a lot more safety and control than a simple fuse could provide. Alternative terms include panelboard, power distribution unit (PDU), distribution switchboard, etc.

Explanation:
Again, I do not see what is wrong with the direct translation - the terms "electric group" or "electrogen group" have been traditionally used to define a set of componens that work together to provide electricity or generate it...

Fuse box is possible, but it is more than that I think
