Default Re: 1933 circuit breaker or fuse?

There is no fuse or breaker, as such. Years ago, a fuse block was sold as an add on. The later "breaker" was actually a sort of buzzer that allowed operation to get home when a short appeared. We divide circuits and install push button teset breakers if the customer requests it. The generator charging circuit should never be fused. In the event the fuse blows, without a load, the generator output will spike, likely causing damage to the unit. A battery cutoff switch will reduce the liklihood of a fire caused by deteriorated wiring.
