Fuses are the wires which doesn't allow the extra current to
pass through it while doing this it will get burn and u have
to replace it manually for getting the close loop circuit we
can't operate it automatically
circuit breakers are also for providing protection they are
automatically control ON/OFF which breaks the circuit as per
the status or program written likewise in SCADA software
used in power distribution

Fuses : fuses break the circuit when only short circuit &
over current flow in the circuit.
Breakers : break the circuit when over voltage, under
voltage, earth fault, over current & its very sensitive.
Fuses : most of the fuses used only at low current rating &
not using at LT panels.
Breakers : its used more high current ratings & using at
all LT panels.
Fuses : fuses made up of Bismuth, Cadmium, Silver & chana
clay.
Breakers : made up of totaly mechanical systems & trpping
coil, closing coil small motors etc.
Fuses : its take very small space to connect
breaker : its take more space to connect.

Answer / gsamguna
fuses take more time to
change old from new but
brakr reset then on quickly.
bt it not take time to
restore the system
but fuse is good for short
shircuit purpose more than
braker
fuse save the eqpmnt
perfectly.
fuse and braker all
best ...
