How it works
This unique products has an integrated thermal circuit breaker.
When current is flowing through a conductor (for example, a copper cable), it will create heat due to the electrical resistance of the cable. In a thermal circuit breaker, the current is flowing trough a bimetallic strip, which is made of two metals with different expansion rates. Under normal conditions, the strip remains in position , keeping the circuit closed.
If excessive current flows, the heat in the strip will also increases, causing the bimetallic strip to bend. As it bends beyond a certain point, it triggers and opens the circuit, which will stop the current from flowing and turning the electronics after the switch (your bilgepump for example) off.
Once the strip cools, it will automatically resets. This mechanism prevents overheating and potential damage in electrical systems, making thermal circuit breakers essential for your boat, RV or industrial equipment
How to select the right button for your application?
The integrated circuit breaker is a Thermal Circuit breaker. This means that the bimetallic strip inside the switch heats up if the current increases.
However, the circuit breaker is not tripping if the current is larger then the Threshold.
For example, if you have a bilge pump that draws 7 AMPS, during normal use, you should select a 10A circuit breaker.
So before you can select the correct switch, you have to know how much current your application will draw.
NOTE: The manufacturer of your electronic device often tells you which circuit breaker you should use. This is not the same value as you should select the value of this switch. If your pump draws 4 Amps, and the manufacturer tells you that the fuse should be 10Amps, it is best to select a 5Amp switch circuit breaker.
