There is no reduction in risk by adding a 2nd, 3rd or 10th circuit breaker in series.
What about when a short circuit occurs (and thus the breaker would no longer be in series)? Suppose there is a short in the wires before the breaker panel. In that case huge amounts of current could flow through the MultiPlus charger/inverter without tripping the breaker. If I add a fuse or additional breaker between the power source and the MultiPlus, then the Multiplus would be protected.
I'm not an expert but basing this off what I've learned online. Please let me know if that logic is wrong, or if the risk of the type of short circuit I'm describing is too low to warrant installing an additional breaker.
Thanks.
