Circuit breakers are electrical safety devices that interrupt current flow during overloads or faults. Here are some common types:


*Types of Circuit Breakers:*


1. *Air Circuit Breakers (ACB)*: Used for low-voltage applications.

2. *Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB)*: Compact, molded casing for low-voltage applications.

3. *Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB)*: Small, compact breakers for residential and commercial use.

4. *Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCB)*: Designed to detect ground faults and prevent shock.

5. *Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)*: Protect against ground faults, commonly used in bathrooms and kitchens.

6. *Vacuum Circuit Breakers (VCB)*: Use vacuum technology for medium-voltage applications.

7. *Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) Circuit Breakers*: Use SF6 gas for medium- and high-voltage applications.


*Applications:*


1. *Residential*: Protecting homes from electrical overloads and faults.

2. *Commercial*: Safeguarding commercial buildings and equipment.

3. *Industrial*: Protecting industrial equipment and power distribution systems.
