Default How do you know a new circuit breaker is protecting the circuitproperly?

ACTUALLY, not.

The breaker is there to protect the wiring, not the appliance. And there's
no need to check them.


The breaker protects the wiring and the appliance (some exceptions, like
motor circuits). What do you think protects the appliance from faults
and failures? For instance Pop's 48A failure in a 30A appliance.
