A circuit breaker is an automatic electrical safety device that protects circuits from damage caused by overload or short circuit by interrupting the flow of current.
A circuit breaker is a crucial component in electrical systems used to ensure safety and prevent damage to wiring, appliances, and equipment. It functions by automatically detecting faults such as overload (excess current flow) or short circuits and immediately stopping the electrical supply. Unlike traditional fuses, which must be replaced after they blow, circuit breakers can be reset manually or automatically, making them more convenient and cost-effective. They are commonly installed in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical panels.
