15 amp fuse replace with a breaker
Hi, I'm wondering if any company makes a 15 amp breaker to replace a 12 volt blade fuse? Of course it would not be cheap as it would have to be arc fault protected.

My need is quite simple. I run a 400 watt inverter from a cigarette lighter plug (ya I know, I should not).
Why not do it right?
EDIT--actually using the divide by 10 rule, that would be 40 amps.
If all he usually runs from the 400w inverter pulls less than 8 amps DC, then why not? IMO (not shared by some here it seems) it is the size of the load that counts, not what the inverter "could do" from its rating.
If PT puts too big a load in that inverter, then the 10 amp "TV Fuse" in his DC fuse panel that is for the Winegard 12v socket and antenna booster will blow. Which is what happened.
What's the big deal?
