Types of Circuit Breaker

It depends what circuit you are making. 
Circuit breakers come in different 'ratings' and so are chosen according to the power demands of the circuit you have.
You don't choose a circuit for a circuit breaker as such, you choose a circuit breaker according to what circuit you have made.
