What Is the Difference Between a Fuse and a Circuit Breaker?

Fuses usually protect low voltage circuits such as lighting fixtures. When a fuse melts, it creates a very large spark that travels along the length of the melted filament.

On the other hand, circuit breakers typically provide high power protection on medium/high voltage circuits. They contain two contacts separated by some distance, so there are no wires running from them directly to each other.
