circuit-breakers
Overload protection switches
Circuit-breakers are safety devices that automatically stop electrical flow when current exceeds safe levels, preventing fires and equipment damage.
Unlike fuses, they can be reset rather than replaced.
The term extends to financial markets, where circuit-breakers halt trading during extreme price swings: Circuit-breakers kicked in after the index dropped ten percent.
