[QUOTE="mbweimar, post: 383601, member: 9884"] RivRrunR nailed it again. Get one that is manual reset. If you do get a short somewhere you want it to trip and stay open rather than sit there and cycle open and closed the whole time. I would prefer going with one of the name brands. They tend to be better quality. Blue Sea Systems being top of the line. I have personal experience with Stinger. The thing I like about these is there are no ring terminals, and you can load those holes up with dielectric grease, put the cover on,and forget about it. A word of caution with any of these larger circuit breakers: DONT TIGHTEN THEM DOWN TOO TIGHT! The mounting holes are very fragile and will break off if you drive a screw or bolt down too tight. I've done this at least 100 times. Here's a cheaper one, and still good quality. I have personal experience with these. Never had a problem with them. https://www.amazon.com/Stinger-SGP90501-Resettable-Circuit-Breaker/dp/B007A2EQZG [/QUOTE]
