Does this have a fuse that we have to replace or does it work like a circuit breaker where there is a switch to turn power back on?

it works like a circuit breaker. when overloaded it switches off. After that, then switch it back on.

The switch is not visible in the posted picture. It is located on the end (edge) right beside where the cord attaches to the main unit.

Your question is faulty. You first have to understand breakers and fuses. If power provided is cut off and comes back on it makes no difference. This only trips when there is a problem with what you are plugging in behind it. It's a portable highly sensitive circuit breaker built into a an outlet. If you trip this from what you have plugged into this it will need to be manually reset. It defeats the safety purpose of this if it was to automatically reset itself. You could restart a fire or sparking event instead of shutting one down. You would not want this to automatically reset itself. You could also re-shock yourself automatically if it automatically reset itself. There is a reason I am the 2A3 King. Your question is faulty. You first have to understand breakers and fuses.

There is a fuse to check. If it's good, it's probably the switch. If not, then that's the first thing to take care of.

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.

The on and off switch is the knob near the lower left corner. Turned all the way down is off. We had one come on and run several hours while we were gone. After that, we started turning the circuit breaker off. Another option would be to get one without the knob (or keep the knob turned all the way up) and control it with a separate wall thermostat. The elements constantly fail. I wouldn't purchase one again. I had one in our shed for extra parts to keep the three in the house running all the time. It was an annual expectation that I would have to fix at least one of the three. We no longer have any.

It has a fuse holder, it is beneath the recessed plug and above the power switch. It does not come with a fuse.

If there is a power-outage, Yes. If you trip a circuit breaker/blow a fuse, no. If the plug's circuit breaker has been tripped then you'll need to reset the plug manually, like any other circuit breaker.

I doubt if many/any of us have tripped the breaker, so you might not get a solid answer. I've been using two of these for 18 months or so, and have never pushed them that far (nor would I recommend you try to run >15 amps). But it's a circuit breaker, not a fuse, so you should just be able to press the reset button (after reducing the load, obviously!) Hopefully you'll get someone to answer who's actually tripped the breaker, but in absence of that, I wouldn't be concerned about it; that's how a circuit breaker works.

No it does not include fuses or circuit breakers. For the second question, Don't know, the manufacture would be able to answer that.

mine came with one. i have had this a long while and have not needed a new fuse yet.

This device is to tell you which breaker is on. Then you cut it off to work on the circuit. It will not work without power.

The fuse holder is between the switch and outlet. It pops out with a small flat head screwdriver.

Not sure understand question but there is a circuits breaker. Like an outlet should be on all the time. Not using power unless plugged into your car. Hope helps.

C., that is an indicator light in the center, and not a switch. This is a wall mounted surge protector, and you need an in-the-wall ground fault circuit interruptor duplex receptacle, which you can get at a big box store or Amazon. This is usually a code requirement in water environments (kitchens, baths, and outside). Hope this helps.

It does NOT have permanent built in fuse! It's has a replaceable fuse, it uses the automotive type fuses.

I can not say that it is, or is not, a magnetic switch. I can tell you that it performs the same function for me. I use these on my woodshop tools. I have tested them by turning on a tool, then turning the circuit off to simulate a power outage. When the breaker is switched back on, the tools do not re-start. You must physically turn the tool back on. Great, and necessary safety feature.

These units come equipped with a circuit breaker fuse on the front panel. If there is a surge to the unit it would blow the fuse on the circuit breaker and shut down the unit to break any flow of current from the power strip to your devices therefore acting as a surge protecting device.
