DC Circuit Protector
The DC circuit protector(rated current: 10 A) automatically shuts off the DC battery
charging circuit when the DC circuit is overloaded, when there is a problem with the
battery, or the connections between the battery and the generator are improper.
The indicator inside the DC circuit protector button will pop out to show that the DC
circuit protector has switched off. Wait a few minutes and push the button in to reset the
DC circuit protector.
