A '''circuit breaker''' (often used in the short form, '''breaker''') is a [[switch]] device which, when wired into a [[circuit]], acts in a manner similar to a [[fuse]]; i.e. it opens (breaking the circuit) when too much [[current]] flows through it. ('Too much' is defined by the rating of the breaker; a breaker of any type is usually available in a range of [[ampere|amperage]] ratings.)<br />
