Short stop circuit breaker

If the breaker has different colored studs, the copper colored stud connects to the battery. Although after seeing the inside of one, I really don't see why it matters.

Some little breakers even get fancy with two different color studs. Copper and plated steel. To be nerdish the studs on all breakers are oriented by how tall they are: battery inlet goes onto the short stud and from the longer stud a wire exits going to the load to be protected.

Yes, short stop just breaks elec current. Some are re-settable, some are not. Glad yours was visible. I didn't even know I had one, till no elec could be found from converter. Mine was hidden behind wall. I now carry a spare.

mine sort of like this

Ground wire is typically white and goes from negative battery to frame.
Battery positive is typically black or colored and connects to the copper terminal of the shortstop.

Well, this one is blown, anyways it's non-functional. I think I have it sorted out. I'm still learning as I go.

Thanks.

What Old-Bisquit said. No ground wire involved. And a Short Stop circuit breaker does not "blow". In the event of an overload, it will heat up and open the internal contacts to break the circuit.

Some of these are auto reset types, meaning that as soon as the circuit opens and the breaker has time to cool (a few seconds), it will automatically close the circuit and try again. Some are manual reset and should have a reset push button on top.

Ground wire :H

Short Stop CB is a 'circuit breaker' used instead of a fuse

Main battery cable POS goes on on stud and the output POS cable going to DC Panel goes on other stud of that CB (Power in/power out)

No ground involved wiring of that CB
Ground (NEG from battery) should go to frame....clean spot and secured with a bolt.
