Breaker for Classic output from Clipper

[Riverwind]

I posted this same question a year ago and didn't really comprehend the answer. bob said it was built in to the Clipper but do I not need an output breaker on the output from the Clipper Classic connected to the batteries? In a PV setup you have an input and output breaker. On the clipper the input breaker is built in but do you not need an output breaker as well so you can power the Classic down for firmware updates etc? If so, what size breaker would be needed on a 24v system with a Whisper 500? Anybody help? Thanks!!

RW,

Its probably a good idea for the +DC output from the Clipper to go to a breaker then to the Classic. There is  dual knockout on the mid/lower right side of the Clipper where a surface mounting breaker can be located.
The exact value of the breaker does not matter, since its to be used as an on/off switch, except it must be high enough Amp rating to allow for the max current the turbine can produce, a 30 or 40a breaker looks good for your setup.
