0701 sang mao breaker 20A

[simonfraser]

these are in my fuse board from 1999, with all the wires soldered on

press to reset, that works, is there any way to switch them off other than shorting them out ?

i need to know what they all do and the lables with them are not sufficient to sort this out
then i can design and order a new fuseboard

Subject them to a load greater than their rating.

well, that's the problem they are fuses not switches... Swap them for push on/off switch/fuse combo maybe?

Inline fuse with a clip on each end of a length of wire, turn off battery, clip one end on positive terminal, other ond on each circuit breaker output terminal in turn, what ever works is on that circuit.

Photo may be interesting as well for comment.

Wouldn't the 12v positive feed back through the breaker and power everything else on the common positive feed?

Paul, hm, yes that would work but send a 20A spike through the system and the EDC
not sure if that is the best for the EDC, there are at least 20 i need to 'test'

PVB, yeh that would feed back through the breaker imo

if i had something to gently increase the amps to trip them i would be happier with tripping them
gently increasing the amps may take more than 20A to trip them and thus straining the supply ?
risking my EDC is not good and some of the breakers are on the engine circuit

options:

1) cut them, check it, solder it back on, order new panel

or

2) rewire to a new panel and then order suitable strips with the correct lables engraved to fit on top of new panel

For my sins I used to supply the Riviera switch panels to Marine Project in the early part of the 90's, also redesigned most of the Princess panesl, long story.

I think you will find the panel has plugs and socket conectors, one of the things I introduced, unless someone has totally rewired the boat.

I don't think that answers my question...

if only, nope it has def been hard wired in

You are not sending "spikes" anywhere, all you need to do is to increase the load to something in excess of 20a on the load side of the breakers, they will trip and shut the power down on that circuit. Whatever is on that circuit will be "unaware" of the additional load, when the breaker trips that circuit will just lose power, same as if you turn the batteries off. You won't be "sending" anything to the EDC or to any other circuits downstream of the breaker, you're simply drawing a load through the breaker.

PVB is correct, connecting the battery to a breaker output will power everything up.

Not sure how Riviera and Princess relate to the OPs Aquadore ?

Besides, if he unplugged the panel connecting a positive to the breakers load terminal won't work, as the panel will be, erm, disconnected.
