We use electricityfor many of the energy servicesaround the house. Because of this, it is extremely important to have various safety devices to protect from fire and electrocution. Industrial electricity use has similar problems. This page examines these electrical safety devices. Namely, fuses, circuit breakers, and ground fault circuit interrupters. For more details, please go to the main articles.
Both fuses and circuit breakers are the connection point between the electrical gridand an individual house.
For more details please see connecting homes to the electrical grid.
Fuse
main article
A fuse is an electrical safety device that has the capability to protect an electric circuitfrom excessive electric current. It is designed to allow current through the circuit, but in the event that the current exceeds some maximum value it will open, severing the circuit.
Circuit breaker

Figure 1: A circuit breaker box.
Circuit breakers are devices that protect circuits from overload current conditions. They do the same job as fuses, but they are not destroyed when activated. They are more expensive to put in than fuses but since components rarely need to be replaced, it may be cheaper in the long term. Circuit breakers are often considered safer since the user can't as easily disable them (like putting the wrong size fuse in place).
Circuit breakers functionally open a switchwhich turns off all the electrical currentbefore the excess electrical current can start a fire. Before resetting the circuit breaker, always turn off or unplug the electronic devices that were being used with the breaker was activated.
