    Regrettable Circuit Breakers

    To the electrically minded.....

    Years ago I received a post reply saying that the WRC cars at that time were doing away with switches and fuses and replacing them with a single resettable circuit breaker. Does anybody know where to get resettable CB that are push on/push off? Google has only found push to rest ones. Got any links?

    Edit: that will teach me to type posts on my phone (see title.....)

    You need to be using something from a marine engine background. Have a look here:

    Those look like the stuff I was thinking of

    Xpack - do you have a link to the switches fuse?
    dt36 - those marine ones look clunky but I will investigate more

    Those all look to be resettable fuses where as I need ones that I can manually disconnect too.
