Question:
What is the maximum amperage the Pollak 52-249p breaker box is rated for? I am trying to determine what size high current breaker should be used before it from the battery.

Hey Bseder, the Pollak 7-Circuit Junction Box part # PK52249 doesn't have an amp rating because it really just joins two wires to complete a circuit. Any reasonable amount of amperage will pass through it. Typically a 40 amp breaker is used on the 12 volt accessory circuit to protect the battery from a short so that would be what I would recommend using. What kind of trailer do you have?
