Yes. As long as the voltage rating of the CB is more than the voltage it is interrupting it will do it's job. As to damage, it depends on how you hook it up, and what you are trying to do with it.

What is the reason for this circuit interruption?
Is it to protect a light, a motor, or a combination of components?
You can use Resettable Fuse (PPTC), you will need to get the one with the right operating parameters for your project.
