CIRCUIT BREAKER TOGGLE-SPST 10A 250V 50/

All restaurant equipment has protection from short circuits or power overloads that could damage the internal power supply or cause a fire. Fuses and circuit breakers are two commonly used mechanisms for overload protection. Overload protection can be automatically enabled in response to high pressure or high temperature situations. Circuit breakers may be manually activated to interrupt the flow of electricity for the purpose of planned equipment maintenance or serviceable repair.

A circuit is a closed path that allows electricity to flow from one point to another. It may include various electrical components, such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors, and the flow is unimpeded unless that path is interrupted by a breaker.
