Circuit breakers are a central part of any modern electrical installation. They protect against overload and short circuit, thereby preventing both damage to the installation and the risk of fire. But with many different types, sizes and brands on the market, it can be difficult to choose the right solution for your home or project.

In this article, you get an overview of what you should know before choosing a circuit breaker – including differences between types, important technical factors and a selection of products that illustrate the market’s possibilities.

The article presents a broad selection of circuit breakers from different manufacturers and in various price ranges. The aim is to provide an informative overview of the most common variants and their characteristics, so you can more easily find a model that suits your installation. The information is based on publicly available product descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to give a neutral and clear picture of the market.

Factors to consider when buying a circuit breaker

When choosing a circuit breaker, it is important to take into account both technical specifications and the area of application. Here are some of the most important factors you should consider.

1. Rated current (A)

The rated current indicates how much current the breaker can handle continuously without tripping. Typical values in domestic installations are 10, 13, 16 or 20 amperes. Choose a breaker that matches the circuit it is to protect and the load of the connected devices.

2. Tripping characteristic (B, C or D)

The characteristic describes how quickly the breaker trips in the event of overcurrent.

  • B characteristic is typically used in homes and protects against moderate inrush currents.
  • C characteristic is often used for circuits with motors or equipment that require high inrush current.
  • D characteristic is intended for special industrial applications with very high inrush currents.

3. Number of poles

Circuit breakers are available as 1-, 2-, 3- or 4-pole models, depending on whether they are to protect one or more phases. In ordinary domestic installations, 1- or 2-pole breakers are most commonly used.

4. Short-circuit breaking capacity

The breaking capacity indicates how large a short-circuit current the breaker can safely interrupt. For domestic installations, 6 kA is normally sufficient, while industrial installations often require 10 kA or more.

5. Mounting and compatibility

Most modern circuit breakers are designed for mounting on a DIN rail in electrical panels. Make sure that the chosen model fits the panel system and other components, such as residual current devices.

6. Price and quality

The price varies depending on brand, breaking capacity and quality. Cheaper models may be sufficient for simple installations, while more expensive breakers often offer better durability and more precise tripping.

Different types of circuit breakers

Circuit breakers come in several variants, each developed for specific purposes and environments.

1. Standard circuit breakers

These are the most common and are used in homes and small commercial buildings. They protect against both overload and short circuit and are easy to replace.

2. Combined circuit breakers (RCBO)

Combined circuit breakers combine the functions of a circuit breaker and a residual current device in one unit. They protect against both overcurrent and residual current and are ideal where extra personal safety is desired.

3. Selective circuit breakers

These breakers are designed to work together with other protective devices in the installation so that only the part of the circuit where the fault occurs is disconnected. This ensures higher operational reliability in larger installations.

4. Industrial circuit breakers

For industrial purposes, there are circuit breakers with higher breaking capacity and more robust materials. They can handle large loads and are used in machinery and production environments.

5. DC circuit breakers

These types are intended for direct current systems, such as solar installations or battery systems, where ordinary AC breakers are not suitable.

Different brands of circuit breakers

The market for circuit breakers is dominated by a number of well-known manufacturers, each with their own strengths and specialities.

Schneider Electric

Schneider Electric offers a wide range of circuit breakers for both domestic and industrial use. The products are known for high quality, reliability and compatibility with many panel systems.

ABB

ABB manufactures circuit breakers with a focus on safety and energy efficiency. Their series cover everything from standard domestic installations to advanced industrial solutions.

Siemens

Siemens’ circuit breakers combine modern design with high technical performance. They are widely used in both commercial and residential buildings and are known for easy installation and long service life.

Hager

Hager is a popular choice among installers and offers complete system solutions for electrical panels. Their circuit breakers are user-friendly and easy to integrate with other components.

Eaton

Eaton supplies robust circuit breakers for both private and professional users. They are particularly known for their focus on safety and reliable tripping mechanisms.

Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of a circuit breaker?

A circuit breaker protects electrical installations against overload and short circuit by automatically disconnecting the power when the load exceeds the permitted level. This prevents damage to wires and devices and reduces the risk of fire.

Can I replace a circuit breaker myself?

Replacement of circuit breakers should always be carried out by an authorised electrician. Incorrect installation can lead to serious safety risks and invalidate insurance.

How do I know what size circuit breaker to choose?

The size depends on the cable dimension and the expected load on the circuit. An electrician can calculate the correct breaker size based on the installation’s specifications.

Should I choose B, C or D characteristic?

For ordinary domestic installations, B characteristic is usually appropriate. C and D types are used where high inrush currents occur, such as with motors or pumps.

How long does a circuit breaker last?

A circuit breaker can last for many years but should be checked regularly as part of the electrical installation’s maintenance. If it trips frequently, the cause should be investigated by a professional.
