![]() I'm not a big fan of these types of self resetting breakers,reclosing into a fault is the reason you don't see self resetting protection in anything but a very few applications like a line recloser on the power company's overhead lines. Eventually something will give, it may be the wire burning up or damage to something upstream of the breaker. If you have a fault, like from a pinched wire, now you've got a problem. If you have a regular overload this isn't too bad, hopefully you've removed the overload and the breaker will reset and go. Give it a minute and it cools back down and the strip pops back. When you pass so much current, it creates a certain amount of heat and the bimetallic strip pops open. In actuality these threaded stud type circuit breakers aren't really a circuit breaker but more of a bimetallic strip that self resets. ![]() Their solution was to coat the top of the breaker with silicone so that only the studs were sticking up, basically trying to waterproof it. I seem to remember that someone mentioned some issues with these type of circuit breakers getting water and crud in them and not working properly or opening up. Looking at the electrical diagram, I was thinking to add a new line from the terminal block (b+) to the additional circuit breaker, and from it to the relay / fuse box, to B7. Is how to connect it ? should I use the existing lines, extend those and connect the second one ? or should I pull new lines first of all if it makes sense to do so, and second ![]() So - since I know almost nothing about electricity, I would appreciate getting your advise (Fswan maybe?). I found, as a replacement, the Polaris OEM is extremely expensive. So I was thinking of buying 2 new circuit breakers and connect it in parallel, hoping that both will never fail together. I also found here in PRC that some people experienced the same. I talked with the dealer here and he said it's usually the 20A circuit breaker that shuts down when it's hot. Opened the hood and waited a minute, turn it back on, and the fan kicked in. when I noticed it I immediately stop and noticed the fan wouldn't kick in. luckily I always monitor the ODO and look at the temp.īoth times was when I was climbing a long steep climb, on low and AWD. Do not continue if power is present on a circuit breaker other than Service Disconnect or Main circuit breaker, until the power source has been shut off.So it happened twice that the ranger was overheating. ![]() ![]()
