    Circuit breakers and relays are essential components of electrical protection systems, ensuring that electrical circuits operate safely and efficiently. Among these, the Circuit Breaker Relay plays a crucial role in safeguarding electrical systems from faults like overcurrents and short circuits. This article delves into the workings of the Circuit Breaker Relay, its functions, and its significance in modern electrical applications.

Circuit Breaker Relay

    What is a Circuit Breaker Relay?
    A Circuit Breaker Relay (CBR) is a device that monitors the electrical current flowing through a circuit and ensures that the circuit remains intact when operating under normal conditions. When an overcurrent situation or a short circuit is detected, the relay sends a signal to the circuit breaker, which interrupts the flow of electricity to prevent damage to the circuit and connected devices. The primary purpose of the relay is to protect the electrical system from fault conditions that could result in equipment damage, fire hazards, or system failures.
