Eh, do it right and don't overload the circuit in the first place. Use a glass fuse holder if you need fast response and compact size.
MEH..
No one is going to INTENTIONALLY "overload" a circuit.
BUT ACCIDENTAL overloads like shorted cord that can get plugged in, or say the Romex gets damaged causing a short CAN HAPPEN.
The breakers AFTER the inverter are there for a REASON and were PART of the original inverter that the OP HAD to replace due to the original inverter going DOA.
While yes, one "could" use those push button thermal breakers or even glass fuses, one must ask themselves if it is truly a PROFESSIONAL way to go about it..
The true answer is NO.
No real electrician who is worth their salt is going to do what you suggested, that is a DIY hack job..
Even myself a long time Electronics Tech would never want to sign my name to those hack solutions..
I HAVE had to REPLACE those push button thermal breakers for a living, they DO have a rather LIMITED life and if they are loaded anywhere near the ratings they WILL eventually get a hair trigger..
Home breakers in a small breaker enclosure ARE the correct way to go..
Glad the OP decided to go that way, much neater, professional and if a breaker ever gives any trouble you can find them anywhere to get replacements.
