Difference Between Fuse And Circuit Breaker

 6 Difference Between Fuse And Circuit Breaker

S.NO.	Fuse	Circuit Breaker
1.	Operation: Fuses operate by melting and breaking the circuit when the current exceeds the rated value.	Circuit breakers use a mechanical switch to interrupt the circuit.
2.	Resetting: Fuses must be replaced after they have blown.	Circuit breakers can be reset by flipping a switch or pressing a button.
3.	Size: Fuses are typically smaller in size compared to circuit breakers.	Bigger in size.
4.	Cost: Fuses are generally cheaper than circuit breakers.	Expensive than fuses.
5.	Overcurrent protection: Fuses provide protection against overcurrent.	Circuit breakers also provide protection against short circuits and ground faults.
6.	Voltage rating: Fuses and circuit breakers have different voltage ratings, meaning they can only be used in circuits with a specific voltage range.
