    I would have never guessed that you’re not a native English speaker from your writing. Neat!

    A fuse and a circuit breaker perform the same function, but a fuse blows out and has to be replaced, whereas a circuit breaker can just be flipped back on. Fuses haven’t been used in household wiring for a long time now, but they’re still used in cars, and for portable things like Christmas lights.
