An electrical breaker is a device used to interrupt the flow of electricity in an electrical circuit. It is designed to protect the circuit from damage caused by excess current, such as that caused by a short circuit or an overloaded circuit. When the current in a circuit exceeds the breaker’s rating, the breaker will trip and interrupt the flow of electricity, preventing damage to the circuit.
In a commercial application, electrical breakers are typically used to protect the electrical circuits within a building or property. They may be used to control the flow of electricity to specific areas or systems within the building, such as lighting circuits, HVAC systems, or appliances.
There are several types of electrical breakers available for commercial use, including:
- Circuit breakers: Circuit breakers are used to protect the circuits within a building or property. They are available in a variety of sizes and ratings to match the specific needs of the circuit they are protecting.
- Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs): GFCIs are used to protect circuits that may be exposed to water or moisture, such as those in bathrooms or kitchens. They are designed to interrupt the flow of electricity if a ground fault is detected, reducing the risk of electrical shock.
- Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs): AFCIs are used to protect circuits from arc faults, which are electrical discharges that can cause fires. They are designed to detect arc faults and interrupt the flow of electricity before a fire can start.
- Surge protective breakers: Surge protective breakers are used to protect circuits from voltage spikes, which can damage electrical devices and appliances. They are designed to interrupt the flow of electricity when a voltage spike is detected, protecting the circuit and its devices.
