I have a 140 amp circuit breaker on my direct alternator to battery feed.
It popped after about 5 minutes of 65 to 90 amps then a few seconds at about 110 amps.
I am surprised it popping did not take out my alternator.
I also have a 30 amp lever type circuit breaker on my Solar which will max out at 13 amps. The breaker gets warm to the touch, registers warmer by several degrees on my UR temp gun, and drops 0.2v across it IIRC. I bet an IR thermal imaging camera would prevent people from using breakers instead of fuses on circuits where minimum resistance is desirable.
I'm never buying any budget wire protection devices again and will be removing those I currently, pun intended, and unwisely, employ.
