What Does A Circuit Breaker Do?

In the past, using electricity indoors was a foreign concept. This is due to the fact that it would be extremely dangerous. Advancements in modern technology have made this safe. One electrical safety device that makes all of this possible is the circuit breaker.

What Is A Circuit Breaker?
If an electrical current is too high for the wiring, it can result in a fire. This can be caused by a number of things; such as overloading a circuit or a faulty appliance. However, a circuit breaker can prevent a electrical fire from occurring.


How Does A Circuit Breaker Prevent A Fire?
A circuit breaker trips whenever necessary. It automatically detects a high electrical current and cuts the power out. Circuit breakers use electromagnets to regulate the current.
