Circuit Breaker

A circuit break is a switch that automatically interrupts or shuts off an electric current at the first indication of overload.

They all have the safety features of fuses, but do NOT require a replacement like a fuse and can be simply reset by: switching a circuit breaker back on.

When a circuit breaker shuts off, disconnect appliance, and check all connections and insulations before resetting it.

Example of a Circuit Breaker: A blowdryer, they have a circuit breaker located in the electric plug that is designed to protect both the professional and the client.

This has replaced fuses in modern electric circuits
