Question

Accepted Answer

There are several types of circuit breakers used in electrical systems.

Thermal circuit breakers: use a bimetallic strip to detect and respond to excessive heat
Magnetic circuit breakers: use a solenoid to detect and respond to high currents
Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs): detect imbalances in electrical currents to prevent electric shocks
Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs): detect dangerous electrical arcs to prevent fires
Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs): commonly used in residential and commercial buildings
Residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs): protect against electrical leakage and ground faults
