How do i test a omc marine circuit breaker?

Question

I need to know how to test an omc 10 amp. marine circuit breaker, part number 986281

Answer 1

I don't know what voltage you are using, but you need a load of voltage divided by 10 amps with a wattage rating of of voltage times 10 amps.

If 12 volts, you need a 1 ohm load at 120 watts. that would pull 12 amps and trip the breaker.

Answer 2

Circuit breakers if tripped many times it losses it ability to hold so if in doubt replace it> As the price is less the hours of wondering if it's any good>Or connect the source to another breaker and see if it holds??
