Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of a manual reset breaker?
A: A manual reset breaker is designed to protect electrical circuits from overload. When the current exceeds the breaker's rating, it trips and disconnects the circuit, preventing damage to the connected equipment or wiring. The manual reset feature requires the user to physically reset the breaker after it trips.
Q: Why do I need a heavy-duty battery cable and terminal?
A: A heavy-duty battery cable and terminal are necessary to handle the high current flow between the battery and the breaker. The 8-gauge cable ensures a low resistance connection, minimizing power loss and maximizing the efficiency of the electrical system.
Q: Can I use this setup for a 24 or 36-volt installation?
A: Yes, this setup is specifically designed for 24 or 36-volt installations. It is commonly used when adding a second or third battery to an existing system. By using the manual reset breaker and the appropriate cable and terminal, you can safely and effectively increase the voltage and power output of your motor.
Q: Is this breaker compatible with all MotorGuide motors?
A: This breaker is specifically designed to work with MotorGuide's new high-thrust, high-performance motors. It is recommended to check your motor's specifications and consult your owner's manual to ensure compatibility.
