3 pole circuit breakers are used for 3 phase lines


Is gold used in circuit breakers?

Certainly not in the case of high-voltage circuit breakers. Probably not in low-voltage circuit breakers, as copper is a better conductor and has a higher melting point.

Circuit breakers are used for what?

Circuit breakers prevent excessive current from flowing in the circuit by "tripping" when the current exceeds the circuit breaker rating. This causes the current to be cut off, and is used to protect the wiring as well as the appliances.


Is all circuit breakers automatically reset?

No, not all circuit breakers are automatically reset. Some circuit breakers need to be manually reset by flipping the switch back to the "on" position after they have tripped. Automatic reset circuit breakers are typically used in specific applications where it is important for the circuit to be quickly restored without human intervention.


What breaker boxes are compatible with GE circuit breakers?

GE circuit breakers with catalog numbers ranging from THQL1115 through to THQL1150 can be substituted like for like with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers coded CL115 through to CL150, ITE Siemens circuit breakers coded Q115 through to Q150 and Square D circuit breakers coded HOM115 through to HOM150. These are single pole breakers. GE circuit breakers with catalog codes from THQL2115 through to THQL2150 can be substituted with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers CL215 through to CL250, Square D circuit breakers HOM215 through to HOM250 and ITE Siemens circuit breakers Q215 through to Q250 of the same amperage and voltage. These are double pole breakers.

Is a circuit breaker an alternative fuses?

Circuit breakers do the same thing as fuses. They interrupt current flow when a certain preset point is reached. The difference between circuit breakers and fuses are that circuit breakers are resettable and reusable, whereas fuses are one time devices that must be replaced after they blow.
