Questions & Answers

According to the inverter manual, I should use a 100 amp fuse for my wiring/distance. Could I use this fuse It's cool that you can switch off or on with a button. Is that okay?

The use of a 100 amp circuit breaker instead of a 100 amp fuse should be adequate.

Is it possible to install this between a car alternator and a battery by using a single wire? It should be able to protect the entire system, wouldn't it?

I have it installed in the same way. An alternator that runs at 75 amps should not have any

For a 12V 100 Ah battery, there are 1/0 inch inverter cables and a 4 inch on the + side feeding a 2000 watt inverter. What amp breaker is required? Would you please accept my thanks?

A 2000 watt output divided by a 12 volt system results in 170 amps on average. Nevertheless, it really does depend on how much power you draw from the inverter, so any breaker from 150A to 200A should be sufficient.

What if your battery bank runs on 48 volts? The box in which it was shipped indicated a maximum voltage of 42 volts. On the listing, there is no mention of the max voltage being only 42v. Is there a reason for 42 but ?

Therefore, this product was made to support 12V and 24V DC systems with a safety factor, so it is rated at 42 volts. A problem with the insulation has to do with it. During charging of a 48 volt battery bank, the voltage will be closer to 52 volts or more. If you wish to mount the Bussman on an insulted surface, then you can do so, but I would not recommend it. With over 40 years' experience working with both AC and DC systems, I have specialized in both AC and DC

Circuit breakers with solid contacts
5/5

On my Tacoma, I use 2 gauge welding lead to connect the battery to the fuse block when I have a Blue Sea fuse block in the way. It has not yet been intentionally overloaded to test the 100 amp limit (I will edit this review when I do), but I anticipate I won't be disappointed with the quality. Being able to remove the connection to my battery while adding auxiliary circuits is extremely convenient as is, as it eliminates the need to disconnect the battery from the main circuit. I have had a great experience with this so far, and I feel peace of mind knowing I have it.

There will be no trips on level up anymore
5/5

The auto level pump kept tripping the 50 amp breakers on the oe 50 amp circuit breakers, so I added this and an 80 amp auto reset. I was able to get a 6 ga. They had one. There is a lead that goes to one 50 amp manual reset and then into a distribution busbar with 50 amp and 30 amp auto resets. It was used instead of a manual 50 amp breaker and an 80 amp automatic breaker in place of a 50 amp automatic breaker. When I spoke to LCI they told me that the jack system is comparable to the system on the There are 100 amp breakers in a home of this type. that the pump can easily draw 60 amps, especially when the jacks are retracted. So it must have kicked the 50 over and over.

Fuse for an ATV winch that is in good condition
5/5

I used this product to install a winch for an ATV, which was recommended by multiple ATV forums. The winch featured bare metal fusible links that could lead to arcing in extreme weather conditions. By installing this product, you can install it in a safer manner and will ensure wiring to the winch is only powered when necessary, thus avoiding any I believe this is a quality product with well shielded contacts and well suited to this particular.

You have a lot of fuses to manage? The way to replace inline fuses is this if you are tired of dealing with them or don't want to bother with fuses all the time
5/5

With my 1500 watt power inverter and a 150 amp breaker, my truck is equipped with a 1500 watt power inverter. Because this 100 amp for the amplifier in my truck is so easy to install and use, I bought it for the amplifier in Isn't it true that men and their toys go together? Install it as close as possible to the power source The one I mounted is about 10 inches away from the battery, under the hood. With rubber caps to cover the terminals and a test switch to trip the breaker (which I use if known that I won't be using the breaker for an extended period), this is what I use to protect the cord. Also, even in the dark, it's extremely easy to reset it if the breaker trips.

Safety and flexibility are enhanced by this product
5/5

I really like these. My solar panel installations have a high level of safety and flexibility since I used them. The reason I like these is that they prevent shorts as well as allow you to safely disconnect the power to or from a device. That allows you to safely work on it without having to disconnect the wires from it. I have used these for years and have yet to I highly recommend this product!.

Suitable for use with my ATV winch as a waterproof breaker
5/5

In my 2013 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO, I purchased a Superwinch 3500, but the 100 amp breaker that came with it is poor. In order to make the breaker waterproof, the manufacturer recommended wrapping it in a band of How are you? Immediately after purchasing this Bussmann 100 amp which was completely waterproof, I installed it next to the battery trays with no difficulty. We don't tape, so we don't worry. The breaker can be reset by pushing up the lever if it trips by accident.

Badland winches are equipped with great overload protection
5/5

Put down the double circuit breaker in the Badland, for the only way to compensate for its lack of protection is to By keeping moisture in, it keeps out air and dust. The sensor is mounted next to the starter solenoid on my 2000 Sportsman 500. I couldn't believe the difference between that other monstrosity and this one.

A few words are not enough to describe what it is
3/5

There is a mistake in the product description, implying that this is an Eaton copper Bussman CB. description should be updated to reflect the correct product.
