... So, to clarify, do you find them acceptable for DC loads?
Yes. However, they do not provide any way to turn off a DC circuit, the way a handle-type CB does. Even blade fuses can be removed to disconnect a circuit. For that reason, you might consider a different style. There do exist thermal-type breakers in more or less this form-factor that have a small button or lever which serves to pop the reset button out and disconnect the circuit.Now that I think about it, that's yet another reason these ought not be used on the AC side: Code requires each circuit to have a "disconnecting means." A conventional household or marine breaker serves this purpose at the same time it offers circuit protection -- disconnecting a circuit is as simple as moving the breaker handle. With a breaker of the type shown, you would need a disconnect switch for each circuit downstream of the breaker, adding to the cost and complexity.-Seanhttp://OurOdyssey.BlogSpot.com
