About Circuit Breaker
A circuit breaker is a device that can close or interrupt a circuit under normal conditions and automatically open the circuit when abnormal conditions occur, such as overloads, short circuits, or ground faults. Its primary function is to protect the circuit and electrical equipment from damage, while also ensuring personnel safety.
Types of Circuit Breaker
