Circuit Protection

Circuit Protection

Circuit protection is used in electrical circuits to prevent short circuits, wire conductor overheating and electrical equipment damage due to other input regularities. Products range from circuit breakers to fuses and other overload and protection devices

Overcurrent protection is provided by circuit breakers or fuses which operate within specific limits, disconnecting the supply automatically when there is an overload or fault current (short circuit or earth fault). Overcurrent conditions arise from overloads or short circuits. An overload is a result of a faulty item, or too many items being connected to a circuit.
