Circuit Breakers Catalog

A Circuit Breaker is an automatically-operated Electrical Switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Unlike a Fuse, which operates once and then has to be replaced, a Circuit Breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation. Circuit Breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect an individual Household Appliance up to large Switchgear.
