Circuit Breaker Basics - How do they work?

In this video, we'll discuss the basics of circuit breakers. We'll cover the types of circuit breakers and their uses, as well as the different types of circuit protection. After watching this video, you'll be able to understand and use circuit breakers effectively

Cool video, but i wish you showed us more about how the actual inner components work and not so much when it's used

[selfmade]

Man keep doing what you’re doing! I love your demos and definitions based on electricity and engineering. Thanks

[vince]

Short and sweet. Thank you for sharing.

I think that circuit breakers protects the conductors (wires) from overheating, weather overloaded or shorted. Overloading occurs when too many items (lights and or appliances) draw too much currant (wattage) causing the wires to become hotter than what is safe. Therefore circuit breakers (like fuses) protect the conductors from overheating, and of course direct short circuits. I hope I have a good understanding of this concept. Thank you.

[josedou]

Thank you so much. I was looking for an easy and straightforward explanation

[zhichonghuang]

This is a fantastic video explaining the whole process in plain language

[mec]

do you have something about ACB (air circuit breaker)

[carl_h]

it would be nice to understand how they work inside

[mikechiodetti]

Many already know WHAT they are used for, very clear and precise explanation for this video.
Please explain HOW it works to break the circuit and HOW each component works inside the breaker itself. Thank you.

[lohphat]

You explained what they do but not how they work as the title suggests.

How do they detect faults and trip?

[The_Real_Grand_Nagus]

Is there a voltage drop over each load? If so, does it mess up electronics that expect a certain voltage?

[mulelos]

I have a question regarding RCD. Assuming you have a set of 4 motor drives connected to the RCD, the circuit is okay. When you double the amount of motor drives connected to 8 drives, the RCD trips.

In this scenario, should we say that there is a possible leakage current to earth, or because of the power electronics within the motor drives that acts like inductors, causing an imbalance in current, but there isn't any actual earth leakage?

we also have arc fault circuit interrupters in north america (ACFI)

[scientistpac]

How does it works, cause it seems like you juste explain what they are for.

[jkennedy]

How about a video about compressed air systems?

[Nhatanh]

I have another question, why and how Electric devide sense the current supplied different from the current return?

[incometax]

Sir plz. Make detailed vedio on circiut breaker.

[amauryaracena]

I have a question about the video, mainly in the final part where it provides an example of an electric shock to an individual and how the GFCI device disconnects the circuit when it detects that he is grounding. My doubt is that I thought electric shocks occurred when the current used the human body as part of the electric circuit, not when it was grounded."

[gokhanelen]

Can these miniature circuit breakers be made with aluminum cable in and out, paying attention to their current carrying capacity, of course?
