Solution

Yes, MCB is used to reset the circuit.

A Miniature circuit breaker (popularly known as MCB) is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and, by interrupting continuity, to immediately discontinue electrical flow.
