What is disjuntores?

Disjuntores, also known as circuit breakers, are automatic electrical switches designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from an overload or short circuit. Their basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected. Unlike fuses, which operate once and then have to be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation. Circuit breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect individual household appliances up to large switchgear designed to protect high voltage power systems.
