What is an electrical breaker and how does it work?
An electrical breaker, or circuit breaker, is a safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent or short circuit. When an excessive amount of current flows through the circuit, the breaker automatically trips, interrupting the flow of electricity. This prevents overheating of wires, potential fires, and damage to connected appliances. Resetting the breaker after the fault is cleared is a common homeowner task.
