Three advantages of using circuit breakers over semi-enclosed fuses

[a1]

I actually had the questions of "Name three advantages of an MCB" and there is also a question with regards to the dis-advantages too.

There is one advantage of re-wireables fuses, you can tell what sort of fault blew it.

If it has melted with some of the wire still present it is an overload, if the fuse-wire had disapeared completely it's a short circuit!

Yes Mate - Indeed. And the good old smell.

But a dis-advantage, as stated by someone previously - is that any sized fuse wire can be fitted to them. :|
