Hi All,
So I have installed a DC MCB between my battery and my PIP, specifically the "TOMZN" 63A single pole. specs for ref:
Now it said somewhere on the aliexpress listing that the "load" side should be the bottom, so since the PIP is the device creating the load I have wired the battery positive side to the top of the MCB and then the bottom side to the PIP battery positive terminal.
Now I wanted to test this setup so I applied a 100A load to the battery for about 10 seconds to see if it would trip, it did not. I swapped the connections on the MCB around just in case I/they got it wrong and the load should come out the top but the results were the same.
Am I doing something wrong here? My understanding was if you applied a current higher than the rated current for the MCB that's what would cause it to trip...?
