Question:

Do I need this circuit breaker for the x1 superwinch with the SW1519A switch, or can i use a cheaper circuit breaker?

The correct circuit breakers for the X1 Super Winch, # 1101, would be two of the 50 amp inline circuit breakers, # 87-22873-11. I produced a photo showing how the circuit breakers would be oriented and wired inline from the battery to the winch.

I cannot recommend using another brand of circuit breaker for the Superwinch winches, but if you did you would need to stay with the same amperage rating and wiring configuration.
