Breakers are just reusable fuses.
Functionally, I guess so. Materially, absolutely not.
A piece of metal heats up in both.
One melts, the other activates an electromagnet disconnecting the line, like the melted metal.
Material wise, they both have the same parts, one just has more.
I like the gunpowder fuses because there is no question whether they are good or not. Exploded = bad, not exploded = good
