Fuse Blocks

These are fuse holders for RK5 cartridge fuses.  They can be used in situations where safety is desired, but code may not be required.  They should be installed in an inaccessible place; or you should manufacture a cover for them.

ATC Fuse Box

These fuse boxes use ATC automotive type fuses for DC distribution. They can be used in a camp or small cottage where a large DC distribution system isn't required. They have lugs to receive up to #4 ga. input wires. They have either a 6 or 9 circuit fuse block and a negative bus both which will accept up to #10 ga. wires.

ATC Fuse Block

This 6 position fuse block will accept #10 ga. wire in its distribution terminals. The main power lug accepts #4 ga. wire. The negative bus bar has 11 holes which accept #10 ga. or smaller wire and 4 holes which accept #2 ga. or smaller wire. Use this fuse block along with the negative bus bar to make your own DC distribution panel.

AC Circuit Breaker Box

753-009 $169

This is an AC circuit breaker box for use where less than a whole house service panel is needed. The box consists of one 2-pole main breaker and six circuit breakers. Standard configuration is a 40 amp main, three 15 amp breakers, and three 20 amp breakers. Different size breakers may be substituted. This is ideal for a cabin or cottage powered by an inverter or a generator. The parts in this breaker box are the same extra high grade equipment that is also good for under 50 volts DC.

Circuit Breakers

The circuit breakers listed below are rated for DC current as well as AC current. They fit in any of our listed circuit breaker boxes ­ AC or DC. For use in AC circuits all that is needed is a main breaker and a breaker for each circuit. For DC circuits, however, a main switch/fuse box or at least a main fuse should be used between the battery bank and the DC circuit breaker panel. See our prewired DC main distribution panels.

DC Circuit Breakers

We have two types of DC circuit breakers available: DIN rail mount and panel mount.
