Working Mechanism
- They work by interrupting the flow of electrical current when it exceeds a preset limit.
- These circuit breakers consist of a bimetallic strip that bends when exposed to excessive current, causing it to trip and open the circuit.
- This interruption prevents further damage to the vehicle's electrical system and accessories.
Features
- These circuit breakers feature a flush mount design for seamless integration into the vehicle's electrical system.
- They come equipped with a convenient push-to-trip button, allowing for easy manual resetting in the event of overcurrent issues.
- These circuit breakers also include 1/4-28 threaded studs for easy installation and provide secure attachment points for wiring connections.
- They have waterproof and sealed housing that ensures reliable performance even in challenging environmental conditions, preventing water and dust ingress for long-lasting durability.
- These Bussmann automotive circuit breakers include SEMS nuts for further streamlining installation and ensuring a secure and reliable connection.
- They feature thermoplastic construction for enhanced durability and resilience in automotive environments.
