Circuit Breakers and Switches
What are Circuit Breakers?
A circuit breaker is a safety device that protects electrical circuits from overcurrent, overload, and short circuits. It prevents hazards like fires, equipment damage, and electrical shocks by automatically stopping the flow of electricity during unsafe conditions.
