Although you might not think of them often, circuit breakers are everywhere. Think about it for just a moment. What systems around you are running on electricity? Maybe 100s, possibly 1000s, and most, if not all of them contain one or more types of circuit breakers. But, why?

Well, circuit breakers are a critical piece of electronic technology that keep systems from frying and shorting out when an overload of current makes its way to a device. Without these bit of circuitry, most electronic systems would be doomed sooner rather than later.

And while circuit breakers may seem both critical and commonplace, new applications for the technology are being developed in some rapidly emerging electronics fields like solar energy, marine electronics and more. So, if you think you know all there is to know about circuit breakers, you might think twice, and catch up on what’s new with this white paper.

In this white paper, you will learn about:

  • What circuit breakers are and why they’re important for electronic systems.
  • The types of circuit breakers that are on the market.
  • About the emerging technologies employing advanced circuit breakers today.
