This circuit is very similar to the other one I designed but the maximum current can be changed using the potentiometer. The circuit will break the circuit if the load (blue resistor) exceeds the amount determined by the potentiometer. This circuit would probably be good for small loads since zener diodes don't usually have reverse voltages below 1 volt.
