The idea behind the # CAM55313 RV Power Defender is that you'd plug it into the power source and let it analyze the incoming power to ensure it's safe before plugging your RV into it.
The unit doesn't use a breaker or a fuse, it's actually a bit more sophisticated than that. The internal circuit board will shut down the flow of power if it senses a spike or other dangerous condition, and won't allow the power to flow again until the problem is corrected or the voltage drops down to a safe level.
