Windlass circuit breaker type ?

[Boo2]

Hi,

I am installing a 1000W 12V windlass and from the manual I believe I require a 100A breaker but I need to know what type of circuit breaker to buy ? I have been offered a choice of Lofrans normal or "thermal breaker" types and I don't know which is better in this application ? Alternatively BEP do a thermal type like this one at force4 : http://www.force4.co.uk/10337/BEP-Thermal-Circuit-breaker.html

Any ideas as to what is available that will work OK would be gratefully received.

Do you mean 1000w?

We got one of these, not the cheapest nor the prettiest, but they do work. For years and years.

My Lofrans manual recommends a "hydraulic magnetic circuit breaker" with an "intervention curve and not a simple plate value", this curve is essentially a time delay and is provided by the hydraulic fluid. I would go for the recommended type: http://www.tcschandlery.co.uk/9357/Lofrans-Circuit-Breaker.html
