You may have noticed there are fuse and circuit breakers. What is the difference between the both?
You need to say first that the function of fuse is to detect and interrupt while circuit breaker functions as interrupter. Also you could say that breaking capacity and the operating time of fuse is smaller when compared to circuit breaker. The circuit breaker does not require a replacement like the fuse which needs to be replaced.

A fuse is made up of a piece of metal that melts when overheated; a circuit breaker has an internal switch mechanism that is tripped by an unsafe surge of electricity. Fuses tend to be quicker to interrupt the flow of power, but must be replaced after they melt, while circuit breakers can usually simply be reset.
