Circuit Breakers are Chaos objects in Just Cause 3.
Description[]
A "circuit breaker" is an automated switch that acts as a fuse. These ones are of the oil-filled type.
Strangely, there are three connectors on top, despite only 2 being connected to anything. And what would the third one even be connected to? If it was a 3 phase breaker, it would need 6 connectors.
Destructability[]
These are some of the smaller destructibles, so they give 100 chaos points upon destruction.
They are particularly fragile, and often blow up when their adjacent Core Electrical Unit does. Alternatively, they can be destroyed using explosives or gunfire, but a more efficient way is to use the Grappler to pull the ceramic insulators out of their positions. Once they're all broken, the whole breaker blows up. Another way is to grapple the Core Electrical Unit next to them and pull it towards them, destroying the CEU and the Circuit Breakers.
Locations[]
These are almost always found in the vicinity of Core Electrical Units in pairs. There are 2 in each location unless stated otherwise.

Trivia[]
- In reality high voltage circuit breakers are relatively rare, because these devices take longer to react for high voltage and require maintenance, during which time the electricity must be shut down. Instead, most high voltage devices use the kind of fuses that melt. These do not need almost any maintenance at all and are near-infinitely cheaper and more durable. Of course, rarity varies greatly by country.
- Platteforma Grande Pastura I is the only settlement in the game to have only a single Circuit Breaker, and also not have a corresponding Core Electrical Unit.
