  Top 3 powerful categories of circuit breakers every electrical engineer/engineer must know before doing any electrical installation Before we start with our topic of the day, let us take a look at what circuit breakers or breakers are. What is a circuit breaker? circuit breakers are simply electrical protective device that trips off automatically whenever there is an available faulty electric current or leakages flow through an electrical circuit or a particular circuit to keep other circuits intact. In all, there are mainly three (3) powerful categories of circuit breakers and they are moving with their own functions, areas of work, working principles, rating, and many more. Here are our top 3 categories of circuit breakers listed below; Low voltage circuit breakers  Medium-voltage circuit breakers High voltage circuit breakers Low voltage circuit breakers These are the types of circuit breakers that are commonly or popularly known circuit breakers that are designed to be u...

What are protective devices and types of protective devices explained in advance?

  What are protective devices and types of protective devices explained in advance ? Some of the essential parts of every electrical circuit or any field of electricity are what we call safety or protective devices. To jump into the main topic of the day let's take a look at what a protective device is.   What are protective devices? Protective devices or safety devices are special electrical or electronic devices that are purposely designed for the protection or safety of an electrical or electronic circuit and are used in electrical circuits to protect against an overcurrent flow, overheat, leakages, and many more.  When protective devices are used in an electrical or electronic circuit, it helps avoid fire outbreaks, damages to circuits or appliances.  Note that some of these protective devices react or operates automatically (trips or cuts off) and would require a well-qualified electrician or an electrical engineer to either repair, trip it back (ON) again to ma...
