Shore Power Circuit Breaker Help
« on: October 29 2023, 13:23 »
Having trouble searching out a replacement for this AC shore power circuit breaker.  Currently, it's a 230v breaker but looking to swap it for 110v version.

That's not a breaker, that's a RCBO or ground-fault interruptor + breaker combo in footpounds. We've had a thread on this somewhere around here: https://bavariayacht.org/forum/index.php/topic,2720.msg17708.html#msg17708

Keep in mind that in 120V land, the currents are usually double (because the voltage is half), but you can't just switch in a bigger breaker if that's what you were thinking, you also have to increase the size of the cabling first. Else 🔥
