There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So, after much research, I settled on the Blue Sea brand and this particular breaker because it can also serve as a power switch.
You can feel the overall excellent quality of the breaker.
The only con that is a little disappoint is the fact that the connection post nuts have no protective covers.
Not a huge deal but I would have preferred nut covers. I improvised and used marine grade heat shrink on them.
This was still the best option I could find either way.
Would buy again.

I then decided to spend another $100 on a 150Amp version. This time I connected it between my 2500watt inverter and the battery - making sure I connected the line to the line and the load to the load.
Again tested it by plugging in my1100watt kettle and turning on the microwave at the same time. I wanted to simulate a situation whereby I might do this accidentally. I dont want to draw that much power (210amps) from my Battery at the one time.
Again the 150amp didn't trip or no sign of it to trip.
I had previously increased the cable size on the inverter from 16mm2 (pair) to 35mm2 because the 16mm2 was getting uncomfortably hot..
I decided to put the original cables back in again
Tested once again with the same load.
STILL NO TRIP. Although the cables were worryingly hot.
Now it only serves as an on/off switch.
I am no EE. At this stage I reckon the the cabling would be in a sorry state when these Circuit breakers trip.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong.
The Breakers seem very robust.
I tried to do the responsible thing by fitting circuit breakers and good high amperage cable.
Now it looks like I will have to go back to a Plain Old blade Fuse.
