What is the purpose of a circuit breaker in GSE electrical systems?

The purpose of a circuit breaker in GSE electrical systems is to protect the electrical circuits and equipment from damage caused by overloads or short circuits. A circuit breaker is a safety device that automatically interrupts the flow of electricity in a circuit when the current exceeds a predetermined level. This prevents overheating of wires and components, which can lead to fires or equipment failures. When an overload or short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker trips, opening the circuit and stopping the flow of electricity. Once the fault is corrected, the circuit breaker can be reset, restoring power to the circuit. Circuit breakers are essential for preventing electrical damage and ensuring the safe operation of GSE.
