Water pump problem

[Pete Masterson]

The circuit breakers (on my coach) look like little oblong metal
boxes with a little metal tab sticking out of a slot. I presume that
the tripped breaker will have the tab stick out more (so it can be
pushed in to reset). They are in the same fuse holders as the regular
fuses and have the same dual blade "plug" that goes in the fuse
socket like the regular fuses, although they're physically larger. I
have an electrical panel with a gazillion fuses and breakers behind a
panel on the front of the coach. (Open from outside.) and on a panel
in the back closet (over the engine) that's nearly inaccessible/
invisible. There may be another panel somewhere that I haven't seen/
found yet.

Circuit breakers are used on circuits that might be expected to have
brief overdraws where an automatic reset is desirable. It avoids
having a "normal" situation force having to replace a fuse
unnecessarily.

I note that some after market installations also include a fuse
holder with the appliance (e.g. the new variable speed pump I
recently installed). Those are usually fairly near the appliance in
an 'inline' fuse holder.
