Some of Brandstand’s products (Cubie, CubieSoho, CubieMod, CubieDash, CubieFlip) incorporate a circuit breaker. A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and interrupt current flow. Circuit breakers and GFCI both interrupt the circuit current, but GFCI is more sensitive and smarter. A circuit breaker will trip only when the current is over its capacity, but a GFCI compares the currents going out and coming back to identify any leakage from the circuit. If there is any leakage at all, the GFCI will trip. GFCIs are used primarily in wet areas, for instance near swimming pools and in bathrooms.
