What is an RV circuit breaker?

RV circuit breakers help keep your electrical system safe and operational. When too much electricity flows through your RV’s electrical system, it is the job of the circuit breaker to stop the flow of that electricity. This may seem frustrating when it happens, but it saves you from melted wires, fire damage, and more.

What are the different types of circuit breakers?

There are three types of circuit breakers: standard, GFCI and AFCI. Each of these types handles the electricity differently and operates in different locations. Standard circuit breakers monitor the flow of electricity and break the flow of electricity when it becomes too high. They are either single- or double-pole.

What does a circuit breaker do?

A circuit breaker is a type of electrical switch that is automatically operated by the current. It's designed to protect the electrical circuit from damage that happens when a circuit becomes overloaded. Once a fault is detected, it interrupts the electricity in the circuit.

What is a double-pole breaker?

Double-pole breakers occupy two slots on a breaker panel and protect two wires (they consist of 2 single-pole breakers with one handle and a shared trip mechanism). They supply 120V/240V to a circuit and have a range from 15-200 amps. They are required for large appliances like clothes dryers and water heaters.
