Different types of circuit breakers include:

Single pole, or 1 pole, circuit breakers provide 120 volts in various amp ratings. Single pole circuit breakers rated 15 to 20 amps are typically used for receptacles and lighting. They are available in 3 types: Full size (1-in. wide), half size (1/2-in. wide) and twin/tandem (1-in. wide with 2 switches & controls 2 circuits).

Double pole, or 2 pole, circuit breakers provide 240 volts in various amp ratings. Double pole circuit breakers are typically used for appliances and hot water heaters.

Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCI) are designed to shut down power to a circuit when they detect arcs of electricity caused by worn or damaged wires. AFCIs are used to protect circuits in bedrooms and common areas. Combination arc fault circuit interrupters (CAFCI) protect against against the same arcs covered by AFCI as well as low-energy series arcing. They are becoming more common in homes as they protect downstream branch circuit wiring and power cords.

Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) break a circuit instantly when a short is detected. They are used to protect circuits in wet areas such as bathrooms, garages, unfinished basements and kitchens.
