Circuit Breaker
The circuit breaker is a protective device designed to
open the circuit when a current load is in excess of rated
breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of
overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will
open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals.
The reset knob (1) pops out when the circuit is open. Push
the reset knob in place to restore the circuit after repairing
it.
Relay
Battery and load location may require that a switch be
placed some distance from either component. This
means a longer wire and a higher voltage drop (1).
The installation of a relay between the battery and the
load reduces the voltage drop (2).
Because the switch controls the relay, amperage through
the switch can be reduced.
