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.

Yes, you can go to someplace like Orielly's and they have a full selection of blade type breakers that will plug in place of fuses!Not sure what you mean about the arc fault part though. I dont know any 12V breakers that do that and with the pain they cause in 120VAC systems, I wouldn't want one - but thats just me.

It's the ability to suppress the arc when the breaker opens under load. DC breakers typically have a higher value then AC breakers.

ScottG,Does that firm have a web site?

120VAC Arc Fault Circuit Breakers are specialized breakers and expensive compared to a standard breaker. NEMA
