Title: dimrail breakers
Post by: robertd on November 08, 2013, 10:24:30 PM
hello all  my question today is   my classic is rated at 80 amp output but I can only find 63 amp dimrail breakers
why is this so ?
I have had to turn down classic output to 74 amp because in the cooler temperature my amp output gets so high
it trips my output breaker from cc
cc output was previously set at 80 amps

Hi robertd,

MidNite does sell 80 and 100 Amp DIN-Rail breakers.  They are two breakers wide -- they take up twice as much width as a single breaker:

There are also Panel Mount DC breakers,  which mount from the front,  but will NOT mount in any place that is designed for only the DIN breakers.  The Panel mounts are quite a bit less expensive than the 80 & 100 A DINS:

It may be more difficult for you to buy some of the more specialized breakers,  as believe that you are in Jamaica.

Good Luck,   Vic
