An open circuit won't cause any overheating because no current is flowing. Other faults like ground fault or a breaker tripping should happen fast enough not to cause any overheating either.

Why use an enclosed circuit breaker?

To protect the wiring from overheating and catching on fire.AnswerThe term, 'switchgear', describes a variety of switching devices including circuit breakers and isolators (disconnects).A circuit breaker is an overcurrent protection device. Overcurrents are overload currents (due to too much load for a given circuit) or short-circuit currents (due to electrical faults).

How do circuit breaker keep the wires in a electrical circuit from overheating?

A circuit breaker is designed to 'break' in a circuit if a short circuit (or other malfunction) occurs. This prevents overheating (or burn-out) of the circuit wires. In older systems, you would need to find which fuse wire has fused and replace it. In a circuit breaker, once the fault has been found and corrected, the breaker is simply switched back on.
