I lived in Brazil the major part of my life. Some places, I mean some "neighborhoods" (the poorer ones, principally the "favelas") you can find things like this.
I can't say with certain, but from my experience when you see a "pole" like that, means that 2 or 3 cables enter the house, and there isn't even the Fuse Box. Sometimes there is only the Main one at arrival, and all the house is connected to that.
Normally you would also find that in these cases the wires sections are very scary...

Here's one in a school we're building an extension for at the moment. Yes, the fuse carrier is completely missing, and yes, it is a live 3ph board.

Black Phoenix:
It will be fine... Just don't stick anything inside...

Miyuki:
Let's bring back this thread. I wanted to post it a few months back  :-DD
Here is the actual fuse box (that box on the pole). As it is required to have actual fuses before the main circuit breaker if something goes horribly wrong.
So there are NH fuses rated at about 2-3 times the circuit breaker current.

Whales:
Polemount fuse boxes?  Wow I didn't know those were a thing.  I presume the underground goes to the houses?

At first I thought your picture showed the box in series with the overhead lines going left to right :D  I guess drop-out fuses have evolved into door-slam fuses now, a much more civilised way of ending an argument.
