They are used in two completely different ways in the System. starter relays for example ,uses a low current to pull core and close high current contacts needed for straiting only, or blower motor Relay's Circuit breaker can protect entire systems in your whole house , if one phase over loaded they are mechanically set up so that both phases will trip. on auto's they are used as switches to close the two heavier gauge wire for the load. fusible links in auto's are made to protect entire systems. note: in homes circuit breakers can also protect individual circuits. Not only the whole house (MAIN BREAKER).

What is Trip circuit supervision?

Trip circuit supervision is defined as the protection equipment which monitors the continuity of the trip circuits of a circuit-breaker. The trip circuit supervision relay will monitor the proper functioning of trip circuits.


What is a switch that opens a cuircut when too much current is flowing?

Where I'm from, it's called a "circuit breaker".A circuit breaker.


A circuit protection device that opens when overloaded and then automatically resets is known as a?

If it is on a motor, it is called a self or auto resetting IEC thermal overload protection device. If it is on anything else, it is a bad idea.


What is earth relay circuit breaker?

An Earth Relay Circuit Brearker(ERCB is a circuit breaker that senses an earth leak within the system and responds by cutting the power to the appliance or section or giving an alarm pending on the complexity of the system. Most of them can be set to a certain sensitivity, for homes it will be normally 30 mA fixed earth leakage current with an instantanous cut out. For industrial and commercial application the setting can vary pending on the protection needed.


How is the relay effecting the bimetallic strip of circuit breaker?

The relay controls the flow of current through the circuit breaker by responding to an overcurrent situation. When the relay detects an overcurrent, it triggers the circuit breaker to open, which releases the tension on the bimetallic strip inside. This causes the bimetallic strip to bend and disconnect the circuit, effectively breaking the flow of electricity to prevent damage or hazards.
