The distribution of power to the various circuits are protected from over-current by the use of circuit breakers or fuses.Normally, a main switch, and in recent boards, one or more residual-current devices (RCDs) or residual current breakers with overcurrent protection (RCBOs) are also incorporated.
Circuit breakers and fuses ensures there are no over-currents during the distribution of power to different circuits.In the event of a short circuit or an overload on a branch circuit, the circuit breaker will cut the power before any potential property damage or personal injury can occur.
