circut breaker ?

[ecs17a]

Should a circut breaker placed in line with a fuse pannel be rated above the combination of the fuse sizes, or the actual current draw from the accessories?
thanks

Re: circut breaker ?

Breakers should be chosen by the size of the wire being protected and the application. The sum of the downline fuses means nothing.

+1... breakers protect the wiring upstream... has nothing to dues with downstream fuses.
