Why Are Appliances And Circuit Breakers Measured In Amp?

Appliances and circuit breakers are measured in amperes (ampere) since ampere is a unit of measurement of electrical current.

Each switch has a rated current or a specific current.

If this current is exceeded, the switch will interrupt the power in this circuit to prevent damage to wiring and equipment.
