Overcurrent devices may serve several purposes in electrical circuits:
- To protect components, equipment, and associated wiring from the effects of electric circuit overloads and/or short circuits.
- To isolate branch circuits from the main power supply once an overload or short circuit has occurred.
Fuses and circuit breakers are commonly selected as the preferred overcurrent device. More on this topic...
