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).
handling the circuit breaker
first be sure to reset the breaker handle to the off position. When a breaker trips the handle goes to a neutral position. After resetting the handle turn it tothe on position. If it trips again there is a short in the circuit. Find out which outlets are not workingand unplug anything that is currently plugged in to the outlets. Reset the breaker and turn it to the on position,if it trips again call a qualified electrician.
There isn't, the contacts in a circuit breaker are plated with silver.
The breaker is self resetting.

A self resetting breaker will reset itself once the short is removed, repaired, If it will not reset the breaker has failed or the short is still present.
A switch, switching transistor, or circuit breaker usually does.

The headlight circuit is protected by a self-resetting circuit breaker. Something in the circuit is drawing too much power and the breaker is cycling on and off.
If your smoke detector is bleeping you have a serious risk of fire and the circuit breaker must not be reset until the fault that caused it to trip is investigated.
Short in system? Circuit breaker is resetting?
Power windows are protected by an automatic resetting circuit breaker.
A switch, switching transistor, circuit breaker, and fuse are all used for that job.
You can find a self-resetting circuit breaker for 120VAC 15A at hardware stores, home improvement stores, electrical supply stores, and online retailers that specialize in electrical components. Look for brands like Eaton, Siemens, or Square D to ensure quality and compatibility with your circuit.
