Circuit Breakers - AMP Supply Circuit Breakers to the Aerospace, Marine and Tracked Vehicles Industries

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 to resume normal operation. Circuit breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect an individual household appliance up to large switchgear designed to protect high voltage circuits feeding an entire city.

The circuit breaker is an absolutely essential device in the modern world, and one of the most important safety mechanisms around. Whenever electrical wiring in a building has too much current flowing through it, these simple machines cut the power until somebody can fix the problem. Without circuit breakers household electricity would be impractical because of the potential for fires and other dangers resulting from wiring problems and equipment failures.
