Assuming you meant a not air. A circuit breaker is a device that prevents a circuit from overloading. When the current in a circuit reaches a predefined limit, the breaker trips and opens the circuit, stopping an overload.
Commonly this is done using a strip of metal with one type of metal on one side and a different one on the other. The two metals have different coefficients of thermal expansion. When the current level is reached, the strip overheats. Because one metal expands more with heat the strip bends(high coefficient of thermal expansion on the convex side). This bending opens the circuit and prevents overload.

How do you turn a 30 amp circuit into a 15 amp cicuit?
Replace the 30 Amp Breaker with a 15 Amp breaker.
Is awg 8 suitable for single dwelling residential with 60 amps main cicuit breaker?
no
What does NCL on a cicuit breaker mean?
NCL on a circuit breaker typically stands for "No Connection Left". This indicates that the circuit breaker has no spare or additional connections available. It is important to adhere to the maximum number of connections specified for the circuit breaker to ensure safe and proper operation.
Is a circuit breaker a safety device that monitors the current flowing thouugh a cicuit?
Yes. It is designed to "trip" (Open the circuit) when an over-current situation is detected.
What breakers can be used in a Bryant breaker box?
Bryant breaker boxes typically use Bryant circuit breakers. It is important to use breakers specifically designed for the Bryant panel, as using incompatible breakers can cause safety hazards. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines or an electrician for the appropriate breakers to use.
How do you work air circuit breaker?
There are various to check if your air circuit breaker working. You can use various tools that are available to test your air circuit breaker. A clamping ammeter is ideal for this purpose.
What is air circuit?
You may be referring to an air circuit breaker or, more accurately, and air-blast circuit breaker. This is a type of high-voltage circuit breaker in which the electrical arc, drawn when it opens, is stretched and snapped by a blast of air directed between the separating contacts -so the air is used as a method of extinguishing the arc. Often, these breaker's mechanisms are also driven by compressed air.
What is the difference between Air circuit breaker and Vacuum circuiut breaker?
"Air" and "Vacuum" describe how the breaker extinguishes the arcing current. An Air breaker opens far enough that the dielectric strenght of air is enough to extinguish the arc. A vacuum breaker's contacts are in a vacuum. Oil breakers use oil. SF6 breakers use SF6 gas to extinguish the arc.
