Does this have a built in fuse or circuit breaker? Or do I have to install one outside of it? Thanks!

There is no fuse or circuit breaker on the input side of the unit (12 volt side). There is a GFCI outlet on the output (120 volt) side. Therefore, you will need to add a fuse to the Positive terminal of the 12 volt input side of the inverter.

It has a GFI on the output but nothing for input, I installed a fuse on the 12V input.

The Inverter has a GFCI protected outlet which will trip on ground fault. The Inverter will shutdown if there is overload on A/C output. On the Input side (12 Volts DC) you need ANL or Class T Fuse. PROwatt SW 600 = 80 Amp, PROwatt SW 1000 = 150 Amp, and PROwatt SW 2000 = 250 Amp.

i put a 150 fuse out side the unt and am very glad that oi did. I short circuted when installing.to ground and only had to replace the fuse

IT Does but its not meant to be user serviable... its a 250 amp fuse. I would use a 200 amp external fuse or circuit breaker as system protection. that will pass 2 KW even at 10 volts DC so the fuse should blow above that level of power.

I don't know what you mean with "circuit breaker in the front", but they send you two spare fuses to change them if the fuses stop working. In don't know how to change it, but you have that option.

No, not really. I have had this for a few years now and I have not blown any fuses as yet...at least not that I am aware of.

I sent mine back. I don't think there is a fuse, mine started ok it just wasn't for me.

yes, it is a straight through system. Have measured it with an OHM meter. So what goes in is what comes out. The fuse is just to prevent overcurrent.

Hello, and thank you for your inquiry. This Power Supply does NOT come with circuit breakers. This series power supply is rated 30 amps max, so what you should have is a 3020 style breaker with 2 toggle switches. Just a standard Residential CB. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us and feel free to visit us on our website! Kind Regards, andrea - RV Parts Inc.

i am not sure if it does have a fuse, most of the time the fuses are in the plug side of the item, i have not check to see if there was a fuse all i know it works great for me

You can install it in any circuit breaker box. It works best if it can have its own breaker.

My came with two types of fuses, one of them was the correct one. There was no need for a relay, since one was already installed from the factory.

Check the breaker. Even if direct wired, it has to have either a circuit breaker, old-fashioned round fuse. or bar type fuse. It is also possible that the direct wire is also on a line with a GFIC somewhere else in the home.

It's not. Fuse but a circuit breaker. It's under the white looking part of the panel.

No fuse is needed, at least I didn't add one. I hooked it right to the battery. Very easy setup!

The circuit does not have to be open (unused) it can have a fuse in it already. You remove that fuse and insert it into one of the two slots on this part to feed the original circuit, add another fuse for whatever circuit you are adding. Then plug this into the slot you removed the fuse from.

This unit has the box, but no fuses or circuit breakers. Since the distribution panel in my unit had no problem and was already wired, I left the old box in place and changed out the 120vac to 12vdc converter; a lot less rewiring.

Your fuse panel is +12 volts. By piggybacking another circuit, you are tapping into a +12v feed. So "power side" is the answer.

Just an update to my earlier post. Each fuse has it's own circuit/power source. On my 5'er I just unplugged the existing wires and attached them to the terminals on the new panel.

It comes with a 10 amp fuse, the only reason for the fuse is it is probably smaller than fuse on that circuit in your car, so if it gets shorted or overloaded it will blow first I put a 15 amp fuse in mine and it works fine I use it in my boat and use a spotlight while charging my cell phone
