Default Re: Electronic Circuit Breaker

BadPuppy, I normally will not counter respond, but the heating element you refer to in Post # 3 is heated by current not voltage. It is the current squared times the resistance.

Here is what is found on the internet:

"Heating by I squared times resistance" refers to the concept of Joule heating, where the amount of heat generated in a conductor is directly proportional to the square of the current (IČ) multiplied by the resistance (R) of the conductor, represented by the formula: H = IČRt. "

The voltage is important in that too much voltage will break down the insulation. But a 12 volt circuit breaker should work just fine at a lower 6 volts.
