Since PMA alternators
are putting out PULSING DC voltage you must use an AC type breaker
ONLY! DO NOT USE DC BREAKERS or they will "ARK" and
burn up especially in the 48 volt systems! Find these breakers
at your local hardware store. Comes with a nema approved metal
box for about $30.00 This can also become your CUTOFF point
in emergencies.
TIP ABOUT AC BREAKERS:
Even AC breakers have an
internal positive connection PREFERENCE!
HINT: Look at the breaker
switches 'ON' and 'OFF' positions, the POSITIVE wire connection
is always most near the 'ON' position of the switch. By the same
token the NEGATIVE wire connection is the one closest to the
'OFF' position of the breaker switch.
