Circuit Breaker 20A Minirail Schenker

Single pole ultra compact 13mm circuit breaker that reset immediately after overload.

A circuit breaker is an automatic electrical safety switch that protects a circuit from damage caused by over current, overload or short circuit. By interrupting the flow of electricity. Unlike a fuse, which must be replaced after it trips, a circuit breaker can be reset and reused. They are essential for preventing equipment damage and fire hazards in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Protection: Its primary function is to act as an automatic safeguard. When the current exceeds a safe level, the breaker “trips,” or shuts off, to protect the wires from overheating and prevent a fire.

Fault detection: It detects faults such as overloads, short circuits, and sometimes ground or arc faults.

Interruption: It physically breaks the circuit to stop the flow of electricity once a fault is detected.

Resetting: After a breaker trips and the fault is cleared, it can be manually reset, unlike a fuse which is a single-use device.
