15 amp fuse replace with a breaker

[pianotuna]

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.

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

ScottG,

Does that firm have a web site?

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.

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