0 Bodger Baz Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Bi-metallic circuit breakers, if the current becomes too much the heat causes them to open the contacts i.e breaking the circuit they reset themselves as they cool down Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
