    In modern electrical systems, maintaining the safety and reliability of power distribution is crucial. A Circuit Breaker Relay (CBR) plays an essential role in ensuring that electrical circuits are protected from damage due to overloads, short circuits, and other potential hazards. This combination of a relay and circuit breaker offers both automatic fault detection and disconnection, safeguarding sensitive electrical equipment and reducing the risk of fires or system failures. In this article, we will explore the function, types, applications, and working principle of Circuit Breaker Relays, shedding light on their significance in modern electrical systems.

Circuit Breaker Relay

    What is a Circuit Breaker Relay?
    A Circuit Breaker Relay is a device that integrates the features of both a relay and a circuit breaker to protect electrical circuits from abnormal conditions. A relay, which is an electrically operated switch, detects a fault or a change in electrical parameters (like current or voltage), while a circuit breaker serves to interrupt the power supply to prevent damage. When the relay detects an issue, it triggers the circuit breaker to disconnect the faulty circuit, preventing further damage or potential safety risks.
