Its circuit breaker has screws to connect more wires.
Romex is the trade name for a type of electrical conductor with non-metallic sheathing that is commonly used as residential branch wiring.
transformers' symbols
A transformer is a device transfering electrical energy among circuits. They increase/decrease voltage, but don't change AC frequency.
[7] Transformers' main purpose is to convert power from low to high voltage of the power plant, and lower it back down for distribution.
E.g. A thermal energy plant use steam to spin a turbine of a generator to translate mechanical energy from spinning turbine into eletric energy. Such procss makes lots of energy, but at low voltage.
So power must be transformed to high voltage for transmission.
All power plants have have 1+ step-up transformer boosting voltage for power to go in long distances. At its destination, power is converted back into to low voltage for use by another transformer.

[8] A power supply is an electrical device supplying power to a load. Its main purpose is to convert current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load--so they're at times called electric power converters.
