A Umephuli wojikelezoyiswitshi enokuthi inqumle umbane ngokuzenzekelayo xa isekethe ifumana ukuxinana, i-short circuit okanye ezinye iimeko ezingaqhelekanga, ikhusela isekethe kunye nezixhobo. Ngokwemeko-bume yokusetyenziswa, umgaqo wokusebenza kunye nenqanaba le-voltage, ii-circuit breakers zinokwahlulwa zibe ziintlobo ezahlukeneyo:

Ihlelwe ngokwevolthi yokusebenza
Ii-circuit breakers ezisebenzisa umbane ophantsi (LV): Zisetyenziswa kwiisekethe zasekhaya, zorhwebo kunye nezikhaphukhaphu zemizi-mveliso, ezine-voltage eqhelekileyo engadluli kwi-1000V. Zikhusela ikakhulu iisekethe kunye nezixhobo zombane. Iintlobo eziqhelekileyo ziquka ii-miniature circuit breakers (MCB) kunye nee-molded case circuit breakers (MCCB).
Ii-High-voltage circuit breakers (HV): Zisetyenziswa kwiinkqubo zoshishino, zothumelo lwamandla kunye nokusasazwa, kwaye ii-voltages zihlala zingaphezulu kwe-1kV. Zinganqumla imisinga emikhulu kwaye zikhusele ukhuseleko lweegridi zamandla. Iintlobo eziqhelekileyo ziquka ii-oil circuit breakers, ii-gas-insulated circuit breakers (GIS), kunye nee-vacuum circuit breakers.
Hlela ngokwendlela yokucima i-arc
Isixhobo sokwaphula isekethe yomoya (i-ACB): Sisebenzisa umoya njengesixhobo sokucima i-arc kwaye sifanelekile kwiisekethe zevolthi eziphakathi neziphantsi.
Isixhobo sokucima i-vacuum circuit (VCB): Ukucima i-arc kwenziwa kwindawo engenamoya, efanelekileyo yokusebenza rhoqo kwaye inokuhlala ixesha elide.
I-oyile circuit breaker (OCB): Isebenzisa ioyile njengesixhobo sokucima i-arc kwaye ifanelekile kwiintambo ze-high-voltage.
Isiphuhlisi sesekethe yegesi (SF6 CB): Isitshisi se-arc esine-sulfur hexafluoride gas, esifanelekileyo kwiinkqubo ze-high-voltage kunye ne-ultra-high-voltage.
Ihlelwe ngokwendlela esetyenziswa ngayo
Isixhobo sokukhusela isekethe: Sisetyenziselwa kakhulu ukhuseleko olugqithisileyo nolwe-short-circuit.
Isixhobo sokwaphula iisekethe sohlobo lolawulo: Sisetyenziselwa ulawulo oluvaliweyo lweesekethe kwaye sikwanomsebenzi wokukhusela.

Iziphuhlisi zesekethe azikhuseli nje kuphela izixhobo zesekethe ekonakalisweni, kodwa zikwaqinisekisa ukhuseleko lwabasebenzi, ziphucula ukuthembeka nokuzinza kokusebenza kwenkqubo, kwaye zizinto ezibalulekileyo ezifunekayo kwiinkqubo zamandla zanamhlanje kunye nokuzisebenzela ngokuzenzekelayo kwemizi-mveliso.
