Power supply company catalog...I had asked about "avsäkring" a few days ago, and used the answer "fuse protection," but in the data next to that term was the word "automatsäkring" and the answerer wrote something about "circuit breaker protection." Can someone confirm this for me?

automatic circuit braker / automatic fuse
circuit braker can be just a breaker, does not HAVE to be a fuse. So automatic might need to be added.
Automatic fuse is (as far as I know) a more modern language

: A circuit breaker is an automatic fuse that's part of an electrical installation. (It could possibly also be the central mains switch by the fuse box, but I wouldn't expect anyone to interpret it that way without explanation.)
