"pull-push breaker"
Hello, would you please tell me what's a 'pull-push breaker' ? it should be a breaker, a switch, but I didn't find out 'pull the breaker' means 'turn on' or 'turn off'...
Top answer
A breaker is a type of switch used to prevent too much current (such as electrical current) from reaching levels that are unsafe. I suppose a "pull-push breaker" is a breaker that is turned off by pulling the switch lever toward oneself (presumably this would open the circuit) and turned on by pushing the lever away from oneself (presumably this would close the circuit). Thus "pull-push" seems to be used as an adjective to describe how a certain type of breaker operates.
