Re: Why On Off on Breaker at Genset? Reply #1 – October 15, 2017, 12:39:43 pm Those aren't just switches they are breakers. If they trip you will have to reset them. They should be your line breakers. The little round fuse holder should be for your field it should have like a 2 to 3 amp fuse in it.Pamela & Mike Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: Why On Off on Breaker at Genset? Reply #4 – October 17, 2017, 06:38:40 am I recently had problems with a troublesome 10a circuit breaker. After replacing it without solving the problem, I investigated more thoroughly. I found three wires in the control box where vibrations over time had rubbed through insulation creating the potential short circuits. They would have been excellent smoke generators if the the CB was resetting. Quote Selected
