Circuit breakers or fuses are some of the most important safety devices in your home, preventing overloaded circuits that could overheat and cause a fire. Circuit breakers, usually found in breaker panels, are the most common form of overload protection found in homes. Fuse boxes are usually found in older homes built before circuit breaker technology was commonplace. Circuit breakers and fuses are similar in function, though different in design.
A circuit breaker is a safety device that is designed to protect appliances and wiring by cutting off power when the current gets too high. Ceasing the flow of current stops the overheating of any circuitry and helps prevent electrical fires and other problems that can occur due to power surges
