A circuit breaker is an electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent/overload or a short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after protective relays detect a fault.
A fuse is an electrical device whose primary function is to break the circuit if a current higher than desired is drawn by the circuit, thus preventing damage due to short circuits.to protect electrical circuits from damage.
The main difference between the two is that a circuit breaker can be reset and used over and over again while a fuse is a one-shot deal that has to be replaced.

Overloaded Circuit
An overloaded circuit is the most common reason for circuit breaker tripping. It occurs when a circuit is attempting to draw a greater electrical load than it is intended to carry.
Short Circuit
A short circuit is an indication of a more serious problem and reason for breaker tripping. A ‘hard short’ is caused when the hot wire (black) touches a neutral wire (white), the bare Ground or Bond wire, or the case of a metal box.
Ground Fault
This is a particular type of short circuit that occurs if a hot wire comes in contact with a ground wire or a metal wall box or touches metal framing members.
Arc Fault
This is a special type of circuit breaker. AFCI breakers, in addition to tripping due to overloads, short circuits, and ground-faults, also sense the power fluctuations that occur when sparking occurs between contact points in a wired connection.
