Circuit breakers are an electrical switch engineered to protect an electrical circuit from damage.

Circuit breakers are made in a wide range of sizes. Smaller versions protect small devices such as individual household appliances while larger versions protect the higher voltage circuits like the ones used to feed electricity to an entire city. Different circuit breakers have different ratings. Their ratings are based on the regular current that they can safely be expected to carry and the maximum amount of current they can interrupt safely.

One advantage of using a circuit breaker is that it can be reset so that the normal operation of electronic devices can resume. Unlike a fuse which has to be replaced after it serves its function once, circuit breakers can perform their task multiple times by being manually or automatically reset. There are many sizes and variations of circuit breakers, but they all serve the same vital function of protecting property and people.
