Circuit breaker repair

In this article we are going to be discussing the circuit breaker. In order to understand how it works we have come up with a relatable example. In Borneo, there are ants that usually explode in the face of threat. This mechanism is similar to that of the circuit breakers when excess electricity comes in, they trip off blocking the flow of electricity.
