I read somewhere that they "react" slower than a fuse and theres still a chance of your electronics frying before the breaker trips.
Ill see if I can find the link.

Thanks Curry
I have not heard that before but since the circuit breaker is only protecting the power wire I can't figure why that would be the case (any equipment connected to that wire should be individually fused). I have however seen a glass fuse blow and then "fuse" itself back together causing the shorted wire to melt so fast it wasn't funny (luckily the battery terminal was removed before it started a fire!
)
