Fuse once break down, we have to replace it with another wire.

In a electrical system when large current (i.e; fault occurs) flows, the fuse (use manually) will damage and doesn't have chance to use the same. But in a Circuit Breaker (works automatically), when fault occurs it will disconnect the system completely without damage and then we reuse the same CB.

Circuit breakers are have fast response than fuse and it is respond automatically so, it easily reusable.

Fuse gets burnt when any short or large current flows, so it cannot be reused (no question of reuse) , whereas CB just trips when a short occurs, so it can be reused by turning it to the initial position.

Hear fuse will be use in homes and circuit breakers will be use heavy lines. Once short circuit will be found fuse is burning and it is not working, but circuit breaker is automatically safe it self and it protect our project also.

What do you mean by tripping?

Tripping means it automatically off the system.

Circuit breaker can be reset to normal by just tripping where fuse should be replaced.
