There are multiple relays and circuit breakers in that vehicle.

No, not all circuit breakers are automatically reset. Some circuit breakers need to be manually reset by flipping the switch back to the "on" position after they have tripped. Automatic reset circuit breakers are typically used in specific applications where it is important for the circuit to be quickly restored without human intervention.
No. A relay is an electric switch and a circuit breaker is an overcurrent device.

The letters ACB stand for Air Circuit Breaker. These types of circuit breakers are used for high voltage switching. The breakers are usually enclosed in steel switch gear enclosures that are situated in electrical service vaults.
Circuit breakers trip to protect the electrical system from overload or short circuits. To reset a tripped circuit breaker and restore power, locate the breaker in the electrical panel, switch it to the "off" position, then back to the "on" position.
The difference of TP and TPN in circuit breakers is the ability of the switch to hold a neutral position. With TPN, a neutral switch position is not possible. With TP, the breaker can be held in a neutral position.
A switch is installed in a circuit to stop the current flow. Without the switch there is no way to disconnect the operation of the circuit's load. In modern households the switch is a convenient way to control room lighting from a convenient location. Without switches the circuit power would have to be controlled from the service distribution panel's breakers. In this scenario the breaker would be in the same class as a switch.
Any electrical supplier should be able to get that for you. Check you local Yellow Pages for electrical suppliers. <<>> A GDP 200 is an older type breaker that was manufactured by General Switch. It had a 10KAIC (interruption capacity). This type of distribution panel was used 40 to 50 years ago. The main breaker is almost next to non existent. The main breakers were manufactured by a different company and General Switch used them in their panels. You might look on EBay under electrical breakers. The original branch circuit breakers are also hard to find but some different brands will fit. There are some sites on the net that refurbish old breakers for your type of scenario. Safety wise it is not a good idea to mix and match breakers. You might want to consider budgeting for a distribution panel change.
Yes, a circuit breaker serves as an alternative to fuses. Both are designed to protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits by interrupting the flow of electricity. However, circuit breakers can be reset and used multiple times, whereas fuses need to be replaced after they have "blown."
Cutler Hammer breakers are not interchangeable with American Switch breakers. It is important to use breakers specifically designed for the brand and model of your electrical panel to ensure proper fit and safety. Mixing different brands of breakers can pose a risk of malfunction or electrical hazards.
