An electrical breaker serves as a critical safety device, automatically interrupting the flow of electricity when an overload or short circuit occurs.

Each breaker is rated for a specific amperage, and when the current exceeds this limit, the internal mechanism trips, shutting off power to that particular circuit. The pros ensure breakers are correctly sized for the installed wiring.
