Availability of 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

Published 09/13/2016

Question:

I have a 2012 Flagstaff HW 29SC pop-up camper with a electrical top lift motor mfg of lift motor unknown that turns off repeatedly every few inches of the lift cycle and I have to wait for circuit breakers to reset. As part of replacing the trailer connector I want to replace the circuit breakers - their lugs are quite corroded and one stud with rusted on nut just spins. Attached to the battery are two 25A 12/24V DC 32/48V DC ST-1013 circuit breakers. I can not find suitable replacement here or automotive part stores, will this single 50A be suitable replacement?

Superwinch breakers are thermal breakers that aren't designed for use outside of their winches. I have spoken with them a few times and while they have an amperage rating they don't recommend the use of them in other applications. If you are sure you need a 50 amp breaker then we have the part # PK54250 that would work well.
