How are circuit breakers connected with the other elements in a circuit?
Both of these devices are safety devices used to open a faulted circuit and stop the current flow.
What are electrical fuses?
Safety devices used in electrical circuits.AnswerA fuse is an overcurrent protection device, and will operate in the event of a sustained overload current or a short-circuit current.
What device protects an electrical circuit?
An example of a circuit protection device is a fuse. Another example is a circuit breaker.
Is a ground fault circuit breaker nessesary for a washing machine?
A ground fault circuit breaker essentially senses the difference currents flowing in the incomming & return wire of an electrical supply circuit. In normal cases ideally the difference must be zero or very close to it. Whenever there is a fault & the electrical path also takes any other route e.g a operator who has accidentaly touched any live part of the equipment, there is a current flow imbalance in the input & return path of the electrical supply circuit. This imbalance is sensed & used to trip the main electrical circuit & thereby limits the Intensity & Duration of the Electrical current flowing through the operator. This results in the operator feeing a small jolt instead of a nasty or hazardous electrical shock. From the above it is obvious that ground fault circuit breaker is essential for safety of the operator especially where the applicance is working with water or in watery surroundings & there is every chance of the water or operator accidentally comming into contact with a live electrical circuit & thereby create a safety.
What is the difference between an RC CB and an EL CB?
An RC CB is a Residual Current Circuit Breaker. It is another name for something more commonly known as an RCD (Residual Current Device). An EL CB is an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker. It is another name for something more commonly known as a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Breaker). For more information on these electrical safety and circuit protection devices please see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
What electrical safety devices can be reset and used again?
An electrical safety device that can be reset and used again fits the description of an electrical circuit breaker.

Safety devices used in electrical circuits.AnswerA fuse is an overcurrent protection device, and will operate in the event of a sustained overload current or a short-circuit current.
Why isolation is needed between power circuit and control circuit?
devices in control circuit are not capable in handling voltages(24 V) of the order of power circuit (415 V)..hence an isolation is required.
Why is there a limit to the number of devices that may be connected to a single electrical outlet?
The cabling to the outlet can only handle a maximum power. For safety reasons, this is limited to far below the fail level by a fuse or circuit breaker. If you exceed the power rating, you run the risk of causing a fire.
What is a breaker and what is it used for?
An electrical breaker is a safety device used to open a circuit that has an electrical fault on it.
What are the safety controls for industrial ovens?
For industrial ovens, safety controls wold include: * devices to keep people out of the oven when it is on or about to be turned on * temperature limiting controls * ventilation (if the oven is baking off hazardous materials) * insulation to prevent hot surfaces from burning people * protective clothing * circuit breakers and other electrical safety devices
What device is used as a form of safety device in an electrical circuit?
A fuse or circuit breaker will fit this description.
What is a reusable safety switch that breaks the circuit when the current gets too high?
In the electrical trade, this device is known as a circuit breaker.
What are the safety devices utilized in Air Circuit Breakers?
closing coil 24 vdc
Can a fuse be used to store and electrical charge?
No.A fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit.
