342 breakers

Black_Diamond

anyone ever have to replace a breaker on the main AC panel?  Where do you get replacements?

Standard Blue Sea breakers fit. 

Total pita getting the panel out. Not enough wire on the input side to slide it out.

What was wrong with the breaker?

I'm not sure of the series of events, but lost
battery charger
portable fan
ice maker (hoping just a relay)

The breaker for the battery charger would trip as soon as turned on. Which is not bad unto itself, but I could see a flash from inside when it tripped (not a good sign) and the 'on' side looked like it got hot. Didn't smell bad when I got it out, checks ok with a multimeter. Not worth the chance based on the sparking and a new $500 battery charger. 

I'll be splicing in a12" piece to the AC input wire too. So tight the panel would move maybe 3" out. 

For anyone interested, I did find LED replacement bulbs for the panel. Might be a winter project.

BD,
Where did you find the bulbs. Been thinking of doing mine.

Speaking of breakers......certainly don't want to jack BD's thread....where can I get the 12v breakers that are on the lower dash panel?

These are the breaker model/brand.
