What advantage does a 15 ampere circuit breaker have over a 15 ampere plug fuse?

The advantage of a 15 ampere circuit breaker over a 15 ampere plug fuse is that it can be recclosed. This means that after the circuit breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit, it can easily be reset to restore power without needing any replacement components. Users can simply switch the breaker back on once the issue causing the trip has been addressed.

In contrast, a plug fuse must be replaced once it blows; this adds extra time and inconvenience to restoring power. Additionally, while other options may imply certain benefits of either type of protection, the main practical benefit in terms of ease of use and reset capability distinctly emphasizes the circuit breaker's advantage in being recclosable.
