Circuit breakers are often overlooked during maintenance of electrical systems in aircraft, or often only verified for open and closed states. To test the true functional purpose of a circuit breaker it requires the application of current in excess of the rated trip value and then measure the time for the breaker to actually trip. This is the only way to verify that a circuit breaker will react as designed if an electrical failure occurs.
