The components involved in circuit protection vary across industries, especially when considering how much circuit magnitude differs among devices. Circuit protection devices prevent power loss by pinpointing the location of the issue and isolating it. In this blog, we will discuss some of the most common types of circuit protection devices on the market and why you should have them installed.

Electricity is used in a wide range of sectors, including residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Today, a majority of manufacturing plants depend on electric power as a utility for fabrication and production purposes. As a result of the complexity and interconnectivity of the systems used in such settings, even a few seconds of time offline can lead to monetary and material loss. 

Circuit breakers are electrical safety devices that are designed to protect an electrical circuit from damages caused by an overcurrent or short circuit. Its main function is to interrupt the flow of current to protect equipment and prevent the likelihood of a fire ensuing. As there are many types of circuit breakers, this blog will focus its attention on industrial miniature circuit breakers (MCBs).
