Hello everyone,
I recently did some research on fuses, but am still unclear about certain characteristics of circuit breakers. What are the advantages and disadvantages of fuses versus circuit breakers? From what i have researched, fuses cost a lot less than breakers, but breakers can be resetted. What circumstances dictate you to use a fuse and not a circuit breaker and vice versa? I mean I'm still unclear why in certain situations, we use fuses and why other situations we use breakers. If anyone can clarify this for me, that would be really helpful.
Thanks.
