The question doesn't make sense.
to prevent a circuit from overloading if too much current flow safely interrupt the circuit if it becomes overloaded
A switch is a means of making (on) or breaking (off) an electrical circuit.
A circuit breaker is not a test instrument, it is a kind of switch that interrupts the supply when that is needed, but it is more than that because circuit breakers are specialised items, and examples exist that can interrupt currents of hundreds or thousands of amps at very high voltage.
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.
When connecting a safety fuse in a circuit, it should be connected in series with the load it is protecting. This ensures that if the current exceeds the fuse's rating, the fuse will blow and interrupt the circuit, preventing potential damage or hazards. Always ensure the fuse is rated appropriately for the circuit to ensure proper protection.
Yes, the placement of the switch does matter in a series circuit. Placing it before a component will interrupt the flow of current to the entire circuit, while placing it after a component will only interrupt the current to that specific component.

I think that the questioner is asking what is the difference between an isolator and a circuit breaker.A circuit breaker is a switching device designed to interrupt a fault current.An isolator is not intended to break a live circuit but, rather, to provide a visible separation between a circuit component and live conductors.For example, isolators (or 'disconnectors' in US parlance) are located on either side of a high-voltage circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker requires maintenance, then the procedure is to:a. trip the circuit breaker.b. open the isolators on each side of the circuit breaker, so there is a visible gap between the circuit breaker and the 'hot' conductors.c. apply temporary earths (grounds) between each isolator and the circuit breaker.d. complete a 'permit to work' card.e. begin work.

Several factors can interrupt the flow of an electric current, including a break in the circuit, a faulty component, overheating, or a power surge. These interruptions can cause a loss of power or damage to devices connected to the circuit.

A switch is a means of making (on) or breaking (off) an electrical circuit.
To stop electricity from flowing through a circuit, you can open the circuit by breaking the connection or turning off the power source. This will interrupt the flow of electricity and prevent it from moving through the circuit.

It limits the current to the circuit at 20 Amps. If a load on the circuit draws more than 20 Amps the breaker will trip and interrupt the current to all devices on the circuit.
Yes. But,circuit breaker are usually rated in terms of current they can interrupt,not the voltage.
