Welcome to Module 5, Fundamentals of Circuit Breakers. This module is dedicated to the basics of Circuit Breakers. Once you have mastered the basics, you can move on to other modules that will focus on specific types of circuit breakers. They are as follows:
- Module 6 – Medium Voltage Power Circuit Breakers (1000V – 72.5 kV)
- Module 7 – Low Voltage Power Circuit Breakers (1000V and below)
- Module 8 – Industrial Molded Case Circuit Breakers (600V and below)
- Module 9 – Miniature Circuit Breakers (240V and below)

Like the other modules in this series, this one presents small, manageable sections of new material followed by a series of questions about that material. Study the material carefully, then answer the questions without referring back to what you’ve just read. You are the best judge of how well you grasp the material. Review the material as often as you think necessary. The most important thing is establishing a solid foundation to build on as you move from topic to topic and module to module.
