Circuit Breaker
The circuit breaker is a switch that opens the battery circuit if the current in the electrical system goes higher than the rating of the circuit breaker.
A heat-activated metal disc with a contact point completes the electric circuit through the circuit breaker. If the current in the electrical system gets too high the metal disc will get hot. This heat causes a distortion of metal disc. The disc opens the contacts. The disc breaks the circuit.
