Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are an essential component of a house's electrical system, providing a safe and reliable way to distribute power throughout the home.

What is a Circuit Breaker?

• A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch that opens (breaks) a circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit, protecting the wiring and equipment from damage.

Types of Circuit Breakers:

• Single-Pole Breakers: Protect a single circuit and are used for lighting and receptacle circuits.
• Double-Pole Breakers: Protect two circuits and are used for higher-amperage applications like electric ranges and dryers.
• Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs): Detect and interrupt arcing faults, which can cause electrical fires.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs): Detect and interrupt ground faults, which can cause electrical shock.

How Circuit Breakers Work:

• Thermal Trip: A bimetallic strip heats up and bends, triggering the breaker to trip in the event of an overload.
• Magnetic Trip: A magnetic field is created, tripping the breaker in the event of a short circuit.
• Electronic Trip: A microprocessor monitors the circuit and trips the breaker in response to an overload or short circuit.

Benefits of Circuit Breakers:

• Safety: Protect people and property from electrical shock, fires, and damage.
• Convenience: Allow for easy reset of the circuit after a trip, rather than replacing a fuse.
• Reliability: Provide a more reliable means of circuit protection compared to fuses.

Common Issues with Circuit Breakers:

• Tripping: Breakers may trip due to overloaded circuits, short circuits, or faulty wiring.
• Wear and Tear: Breakers can wear out over time, requiring replacement.
• Miswiring: Incorrectly wired circuits can cause breakers to malfunction.

सर्किट ब्रेकर

• सर्किट ब्रेकर एक घरको विद्युत प्रणालीको महत्त्वपूर्ण अंश हुन्, घरमा विद्युत शक्ति वितरण गर्ने सुरक्षित र विश्वासिलो तरिका प्रदान गर्दछन्।

के सर्किट ब्रेकर हो?

• सर्किट ब्रेकर एक स्वचालित रूपमा सञ्चालित विद्युत स्विच हो जुन विद्युत भार ओभरलोड वा शोर्ट सर्किटको घटनामा सर्किट खोल्लिन्छ, जसले तार र उपकरणहरूलाई नोक्सानबाट बचाया गर्दछ।
