Electrical breakers limit the current that flows through an electric panel to prevent overheating, short circuits and fire hazards. They also cut the supply when it reaches dangerous levels.

A circuit breaker is a crucial part of the electrical system, preventing damage to your equipment by stopping the flow of electricity when an overload is detected. Whether you choose new, used, or refurbished breakers, make sure that they meet industry standards and are certified to prevent defects or failures.

Choosing the right type of residential circuit breakers for your home or business can help you save money and keep your family and employees safe. There are many types of residential circuit breakers available, including GFCIs and AFCIs. Regardless of which type of residential breaker you choose, make sure it meets your specific power requirements and is properly installed by a professional electrician. If you are replacing an existing breaker panel, it can be helpful to take a digital picture of the breaker that is being replaced. This can help CBW professionals identify the breaker attributes that are important to locate an exact or similar replacement.

Whether you’re replacing a broken breaker or adding one to your panel, knowing what type of breaker you need will make all the difference in how well it works. For instance, it’s important to stick with a breaker that fits the panel you have and matches your other breakers. Fortunately, there are a few different ways to ensure you get the right breaker for your needs. For example, you can choose your breaker by its catalog number or by the accessories that come with it. There are also a few other things you should keep in mind. For instance, molded case circuit breakers are known for their ability to handle high current ratings and extreme conditions. They are perfect for applications such as manufacturing plants, warehouses and large retail centers. They protect equipment from overcurrent, short circuits and arc faults. They’re also highly durable, requiring very little maintenance and oversight. That’s why Chint Global’s molded case breakers set themselves apart from other devices.

Vacuum circuit breakers (also called VCB) interrupt current in a vacuum container — or "bottle." They are commonly used for medium voltage power distribution systems such as 11 kV and 33 kV. They have very high dielectric strength and quick recovery on current interruption. They also have a very short gap between the contact points, allowing them to close rapidly after contact separation. They are especially good for capacitor switching and for long line dropping. They don’t have a gas such as sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) to stretch and quench the arc, so there is much less arcing. They are more economical, smaller, and require less maintenance than air or SF6 breakers. They are also very safe, as there is no risk of fire or smoke. They are self-contained and don’t need an auxiliary air system or oil handling system. Their glass envelope allows the breaker to be examined after operation. If the glass turns milky white, it is time for preventive maintenance to be done.
