The INGCO S-DE-CB1P-KDE6500T Circuit Breaker is a crucial component in electrical systems. It serves as both a switch and a protective device. Here’s how it works:

1. Switching Function:
   • A circuit breaker can open or close an electrical circuit.
   • When the circuit is closed (switched on), electricity flows through it.
   • When the circuit is open (switched off), the flow of electricity stops.
2. Protective Function:
   • Circuit breakers safeguard the system from damage caused by abnormal or fault currents.
   • If there’s a short circuit or an overload (excessive current), the circuit breaker trips (opens) automatically.
   • By interrupting the faulty current, it prevents damage to wires, appliances, and other components.
3. Components:
   • Fixed Contacts: These are stationary parts within the circuit breaker.
   • Moving Contacts: These contacts can be opened or closed by the circuit breaker mechanism.
   • When a fault occurs, the moving contacts separate from the fixed contacts, breaking the circuit.

Remember, circuit breakers play a vital role in maintaining electrical safety and preventing accidents. They’re like the guardians of our electrical systems.
