🔌 Cllena Manual Inline Circuit Breaker Review

I have purchased several of these breakers (80 & 100 amp) over the past 2 years. I have found that 80 amp circuit breakers operate between 45 and 55 amps and 100 amp switches operate between 75 and 78 amps. They appear to be good jackhammers, rating aside. I checked the inrush current with different meters to be sure that the meter wasn't the problem.

I have 150 amps (Type B). It was exactly what I was looking for and worked well until subjected to heavy use. This circuit breaker tripped at 76 A for 8 minutes. Half of what was estimated. I was able to reset the switch after a short cool down, but it tripped again after the same stress. Don't rely on the amperage, you need to buy one rated for at least twice the load required.

I bought this switch to protect the long, thick wire that powers the fuse box in my classic truck. It was installed next to the battery so that a short in that wire would not start a fire. I never tested its ability to open the circuit in the event of a short, but while my truck was in the driveway recovering, it functioned as a switch. That is, the circuit was open when the black button was pressed and closed when the red lever was closed. However, on the first movement of the truck (towing…
