Answer / pavan dharmik

Fuses are the wires which doesn't allow the extra current to
pass through it while doing this it will get burn and u have
to replace it manually for getting the close loop circuit we
can't operate it automatically

circuit breakers are also for providing protection they are
automatically control ON/OFF which breaks the circuit as per
the status or program written likewise in SCADA software
used in power distribution

Answer / ravikumar ts

Fuses : fuses break the circuit when only short circuit &
over current flow in the circuit.

Breakers : break the circuit when over voltage, under
voltage, earth fault, over current & its very sensitive.

Fuses : most of the fuses used only at low current rating &
not using at LT panels.

Breakers : its used more high current ratings & using at
all LT panels.

Fuses : fuses made up of Bismuth, Cadmium, Silver & chana
clay.

Breakers : made up of totaly mechanical systems & trpping
coil, closing coil small motors etc.

Fuses : its take very small space to connect

breaker : its take more space to connect.
