A circuit breaker in a substation is a form of protection, designed to break fault current (the large volume of current that flows when a fault is detected on the system). It also has secondary function allowing the system operator to switch circuits in and out.

What is a Circuit breaker and explain type circuit breakers?
A circuit breaker is a switching device which can make,brake and carrying (or trip the circuit) that specified over currents for a small interval of time . There is a different types of Circuit Breaker's are there 1.According to their arc quenching media these are divided into 4 types a) Oil circuit breaker b) Air blast circuit breaker c) SF6 circuit breaker d) vacuum circuit breaker 2. According to their services the circuit breaker can be divided as a) Outdoor Circuit Breaker b) Indoor Breaker 3. According to the operating mechanism of circuit breaker they can be divided as a) Spring operated Circuit Breaker b) Pneumatic Circuit Breaker c) Hydrolic Circuit Breaker 4. According to the voltage level of installation these are divided into 3 types a) High Voltage Circuit Breaker b) Medium Voltage Circuit Breaker c) Low Voltage Circuit Breaker.
What is a switch that opens a cuircut when too much current is flowing?
Where I'm from, it's called a "circuit breaker".A circuit breaker.
Is a circuit breaker a resistor?
No, a circuit breaker is a safety device that is used in a circuit to limit the amount of current in an overload or short circuit condition. The number on a breaker is the top end current that the breaker will handle before opening the circuit.

The circuit breaker for the headlights is intergrated with the headlight switch.
What can you do to fix a circuit which is burned out in a load center?
If the circuit has not damaged the bus bars in the distribution panel just change the breaker out for a new one. If the wire insulation has burned you might want to think about changing the wire for a new one. Wire burn back is caused by loose terminal connections at the breaker. As a general maintenance procedure shut off the main breaker and go over all of the breaker terminal connections to make sure that they are tight.
