Running forty amps through this breaker would be like putting 2-ply tires on your trailer. Those studs are # 10 X 32
Use a surface mount manual reset breaker. For a truck charge lead line, with 10 gauge wire it is silly to think of anything rate more than 30-amperes. You do NOT want a auto-reset breaker on the truck side. A short will eventually drain the truck battery to 00.00 volts, and is a constant liability whether the trailer is connected or not. I do NOT like auto reset breakers in a position where they can Dracula a battery or bank right into the grave.
