Circuit Breakers

PXE models rated over 20A (North American) or 16A (international) contain overcurrent protectors, which are usually branch circuit breakers. These circuit breakers automatically trip (disconnect power) when the current flowing through the circuit breaker exceeds its rating.

When a circuit breaker trips, power flow ceases to all outlets connected to it. You must manually reset the circuit breaker so that affected outlets can resume normal operation.

Depending on the model you purchased, the circuit breaker may use a button- or handle-reset mechanism.
