Circuit breakers are essential electrical safety devices that are designed to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overcurrent. Their main function is to interrupt the flow of current to protect equipment from overcurrent faults and prevent the risk of fire or loss of property. Customers need a reliable way to prevent electrical overload or damage to their electrical systems and Noark’s A40 Power Circuit Breakers do just that. They are designed to protect cables and downstream equipment including feeders and electrical loads. They act as automatic switches that trip or open when they detect a surge or excess current flowing through a circuit.
