What Does CB Stand For?
CB stands for Circuit Breaker
CB, or Circuit Breaker, refers to an automatic electrical device designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overloads or short circuits. Its primary function is to detect abnormal conditions and interrupt the flow of electricity, thereby preventing potential hazards such as fires or equipment failure. Circuit breakers can be reset manually or automatically, allowing for safe restoration of the electrical system after a fault has been cleared. They are essential components in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems, ensuring safety and reliability.
