What is the purpose of the circuit breakers in a septic system control panel?

The purpose of circuit breakers in a septic system control panel is to provide overload protection. This is crucial because the electrical components in a septic system, including pumps and alarms, can experience unexpected surges in electrical current. When such surges occur, a circuit breaker automatically interrupts the electrical flow to prevent damage to the equipment and wiring. This protection helps maintain the integrity and reliability of the septic system, ensuring that pumps and other elements operate safely without the risk of overheating or causing electrical fires. By preventing overloads, circuit breakers play a critical role in the overall safety and functionality of the septic system.
