How it works

How do diodes work?

Diodes work by allowing current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other, due to the properties of the P-N junction and the depletion layer.

How does a current-limiting circuit breaker work?

When the flow of current is normal, the circuit breaker allows it to pass through. However, when an overcurrent situation arises, the circuit breaker’s tripping mechanism gets activated. This mechanism involves a bimetallic strip or an electromagnet that responds to excessive current.
