Donovan Circuit breakers are designed to protect you and your home from electrical shock and electrical fires. When either too much electric current, or a sudden loss of current, is sensed by the circuit breaker it trips, which in effect shuts of electricity to the electrical circuit. If an electrical circuit did not employ the use of a circuit breaker, and an electrical short was somehow created in the circuit, either the electrical wiring could heat up until it potentially…https://homeadditionplus.com/dev/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Circuit_Breakers.jpg816612
