Circuit Protection

Electrical and automation designs require two basic functions which is overload and short circuit protection. This can be accomplished by fuses, but sometimes fuses are not the best choice based on their disposable nature and one-time use designs. Breakers allow the users a means to easily isolate and offers the same protection as fuses but with a more useful means to recover from a fault condition.
