Explanation:
En castellano seguímos un símil muy parecido al del inglés, utilizamos "disyuntor" que es un traducción literal de "circuit breaker" para expresar el mismo significado en contextos como el que nos has detallado.

--
El disyuntor ofrece subvenciones a los ciudadanos de la tercera edad y a los discapacitados para ayudarlos a reducir el impacto de los impuestos y las recetas médicas en su vida. Cuando los costes de los impuestos sobre las propiedades y la recetas medicas empiezan a "sobrecargar" a ancianos y discapacitados, este programa entra en acción para ayudar, como un disyuntor previene sobrecargas en un sistema eléctrico.
