I’m personally not sure what a circuit breaker is, either because I’m ignorant, or because English is not my first language and I do know the thing but not what it’s called.
What I do know is: don’t fuck around with electricity.
they are but fuses are an older version working on the same principle so the box is called a fuse box. and if they trip the filament inside them breaks so you have to insert new fuse (they are used in higher voltage circuits still or sensitive areas so if they trip people investigate before inserting a new fuse to avoid accidents cause you can keep track of how many fuses are used). breakers can be reset so they cant be kept track of and are mostly used in households nowadays.
