Description
A circuit breaker is a crucial electrical safety device designed to automatically interrupt the flow of electricity in a circuit when it detects an overload, short circuit, or other electrical fault. It serves as a protective mechanism to prevent damage to electrical wiring, appliances, and equipment, as well as to mitigate the risk of electrical fires and electrical shocks. Circuit breakers are typically installed in electrical panels or distribution boards and are designed to trip or disconnect the circuit when abnormal conditions are detected, thereby breaking the electrical connection and stopping the flow of current. Once the issue is resolved, the circuit breaker can be reset to restore power to the circuit.
