1. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected.
2. to protect branch circuits from overloads and short circuits.
3. protection against overheating of the protected equipment. It operates slower. Its typically operates on an inverse time curve where the tripping time becomes less as the current increases.
4. operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit.
