Auto reset circuit breakers help protect compatible electrical circuits from excessive current by interrupting power during an overload and automatically restoring the connection after the breaker cools. Unlike a fuse, which typically needs replacement after it blows, an automatic reset circuit breaker can reset without manual intervention. Many thermal auto reset breakers use a heat-sensitive internal element that opens the circuit as current exceeds the breaker’s operating limits. These resettable circuit protection devices are commonly used in automotive electrical systems, RV accessories, marine equipment and other low-voltage DC applications, provided the specific breaker is rated for the installation. An auto reset circuit breaker does not correct the underlying electrical problem: If an overload or short circuit remains, the breaker may repeatedly open and close as it heats and cools. That cycling is a reason to disconnect power safely and investigate the fault, rather than assume the system is operating normally. Choosing an auto reset circuit breaker starts with matching its specifications to the circuit, including the AC or DC voltage rating, amperage, interrupting capacity and trip characteristics. A 12V automotive circuit breaker, for example, should not be assumed suitable for a higher-voltage system or household AC wiring. The amperage rating must protect the wiring while accommodating normal operating current and expected startup loads; selecting a higher rating simply to prevent nuisance trips can leave conductors inadequately protected. Also consider terminal configuration, mounting requirements, operating temperature and whether the installation requires corrosion resistance, weather protection or ignition protection. For marine circuit breakers and RV circuit breakers, verify the manufacturer’s stated environmental ratings instead of relying on appearance or a general application label. Automatic reset protection is appropriate only where the equipment manufacturer permits automatic power restoration, since an unexpected restart can create a hazard with motors or moving components. Following the equipment’s wiring diagram, applicable installation requirements and the breaker manufacturer’s instructions helps ensure the selected circuit protection device is suitable for its intended use.

FAQ

An auto reset circuit breaker is a reusable electrical switching device that automatically reconnects a circuit after it trips and its internal mechanism resets. Many models use a heat-responsive element that cools before the contacts close again.

Auto reset circuit breakers reconnect automatically after their reset conditions are met. Manual reset circuit breakers require someone to operate a button or lever to reconnect the circuit.

Auto reset circuit breakers are commonly found in automotive, RV, marine, and other DC electrical systems. Applications can include accessory circuits, lighting circuits, and motor-driven equipment. Intended applications vary by breaker design and electrical ratings.

Common markings identify the current rating in amps, voltage rating, and reset type. Some breakers also have BAT or LINE labels for the supply connection and AUX or LOAD labels for the equipment connection. Manufacturer names and part numbers help identify the component.

Common connection styles include threaded studs, blade terminals, and plug-in configurations. Threaded studs typically connect to wires with ring terminals, while blade and plug-in designs connect to matching receptacles or fuse-panel positions.
