The miniature circuit breakers protect feeder, branch and control circuits from overload current. Branch circuit protection is the system of devices, primarily circuit breakers and fuses, that guards the final stretch of electrical wiring between your electrical panel and the outlets, lights, or appliances in your home or building. We're here to review the fundamental differences between UL 489 circuit protection and UL 1077 supplementary protection, and why knowing those differences.
