Circuit breakers are used to protect an electrical circuit from overloading or short-circuiting. This prevents damage to equipment and wiring, as well as reducing the risk of fire. When a circuit breaker detects an electrical current higher than the limit it is designed to handle, the breaker opens the circuit, meaning that no electricity can pass.
