I've been meaning to put some cash in for you. Thank you for all your many many videos you bring to us!
Cool video, but i wish you showed us more about how the actual inner components work and not so much when it's used
We'll be covering that in a detailed video, this is just the basics
@@EngineeringMindset awesome, thank you!
Man keep doing what you’re doing! I love your demos and definitions based on electricity and engineering. Thanks
Short and sweet. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. I was looking for an easy and straightforward explanation
I think that circuit breakers protects the conductors (wires) from overheating, weather overloaded or shorted. Overloading occurs when too many items (lights and or appliances) draw too much currant (wattage) causing the wires to become hotter than what is safe. Therefore circuit breakers (like fuses) protect the conductors from overheating, and of course direct short circuits. I hope I have a good understanding of this concept. Thank you.
This is a fantastic video explaining the whole process in plain language
Much needed video
Beautiful knowledgeable videos.❤
Thank you!.
You explained what they do but not how they work as the title suggests.
How do they detect faults and trip?
We'll be covering this in a detailed video with examples
it would be nice to understand how they work inside
We'll be covering that in a more detailed video. This is just the basics
Very nice
Many already know WHAT they are used for, very clear and precise explanation for this video.
Please explain HOW it works to break the circuit and HOW each component works inside the breaker itself. Thank you.
Will cover in a detailed video this is just the basics
do you have something about ACB (air circuit breaker)
Thanks!
Thank you, Mike!
How does it works, cause it seems like you juste explain what they are for.
There's a video out there with millions of views with a cutaway view of an actual breaker that they purposely short circuit so you can see the 2 mechanisms in action and super slo mo
So why don't you Google it ? It's not like you have to go to a library to learn this stuff in greater detail anymore.
Just goes to show that, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. This is one of, if not the best electro mech channels on youtube
@@that1electrician to be fair, the video does claim it’s going to explain how they work.
They go *click* when there's no resistance on circuit
So I read in the title: "How do they work?", but in the video there's no mention on how the breaker does it's job! Literaly, the physics!
This is just the basics, we'll cover how they physically work in a detailed video
How about a video about compressed air systems?
we also have arc fault circuit interrupters in north america (ACFI)
Is there a voltage drop over each load? If so, does it mess up electronics that expect a certain voltage?
Sir plz. Make detailed vedio on circiut breaker.
I have a question regarding RCD. Assuming you have a set of 4 motor drives connected to the RCD, the circuit is okay. When you double the amount of motor drives connected to 8 drives, the RCD trips.
In this scenario, should we say that there is a possible leakage current to earth, or because of the power electronics within the motor drives that acts like inductors, causing an imbalance in current, but there isn't any actual earth leakage?
In this scenario, it's possible that the increased number of motor drives is causing an imbalance in the current, which could lead to the RCD tripping. The power electronics within the motor drives, such as inductors, can indeed affect the current flow. However, it's also important to consider the possibility of leakage current to earth. To determine the exact cause, it would be best to consult with an electrical expert or technician who can analyze the specific setup and provide a more accurate assessment. They can help identify any potential issues and recommend appropriate solutions.
I have another question, why and how Electric devide sense the current supplied different from the current return?
Can these miniature circuit breakers be made with aluminum cable in and out, paying attention to their current carrying capacity, of course?
I have a question about the video, mainly in the final part where it provides an example of an electric shock to an individual and how the GFCI device disconnects the circuit when it detects that he is grounding. My doubt is that I thought electric shocks occurred when the current used the human body as part of the electric circuit, not when it was grounded."
Nice video - at 00:38 you stated "positive and negative wires" - should this not be the "Neutral and Line wires" rather as you are showing AC circuits here. DC Breakers do exist as well.
There are so many more types on the market now, this is the tip of the iceberg
This is alternating current and so there would not be a positive and negative wire. It would be a hot and a neutral a.k.a. grounded conductor.
That dude looked so happy being electroned.
Your video title is "Circuit Breaker Basics - How do they work?"
Ok, you explained what circuit brakes do, and even what the electrocution prevention protection do. But where is the part that explains how circuit breakers work?
We know that they break the circuit in case of fault, it's in their name, but how!?
We'll be covering this in a detailed video, this is just the basics
@@EngineeringMindset Cool, that's for replying!
Please a darkness sensor
How come having more appliances exceeds rating?
Won’t that have more resistance?
i think because adding components in parallel decreases resistance and increases current. (and almost all circuits in our households are parallel)
i always thought circuit breakers are somewhat a miniature version of a transformers which reduce the amount of electricity that passes through it.
The cartoon guy at the end has bare feet. Lol
Lol
What about circuit breaker for DC? Are they similar?
Good question
Is MCB breaker directional?
Seen our new incredibly detailed MCB video? link: czcams.com/video/gqEu9t8HwW0/video.html
🖐️
Tell us how they work with a 3 pin plug and a 2 pin plug tools.
It's like what they do rather than how they do it.

You forgot AFCI breakers!
This breakar name
The videos seem to be getting shorter and less comprehensive, and illustrative.
You're right, it is a short one. I didn't notice
We have a lot of short, basics, videos coming out. These are to help people find quick answers to their questions as we receive sooo many emails and comments requesting basic concepts. But we have lots of indepth content in the works don't worry
@@EngineeringMindset phew, glad to hear it. Was about to start worrying 😜. Thanks guys.
This video has nothing to do with how they work and is what they do. I still don't know how they work after watching this video.
This video shows what they do but it doesn’t say anything about how they work. I want to understand what’s inside them.
This video should be renamed. This is what Circuit Breakers Do, not how they work
My main question: Who the heck goes barefoot while wearing a hardhat?
😂
Now that’s comedy 😂
I like that he also took into account the fact that the electrons only travel at the outside of the conductor ... but I guess in reality that does not work on human bodies, otherwise we would not need a GCFI/RCD 😉
soooo, how do they work????
too small
