[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8246184, member: 611804"] Honestly I dont believe there is much difference 1 the curcuit breaker is more expensive but no need to by fuses if it trip 2 the fuse is the simplest form of safely cutting power at short curcuit 3. Since the curcuit breakers is more complex it has a possibility of sticking and not tripping, but fuses can be inconsistent and a hot fuse can melt the holder and cause the two ends to touch negating the fuse's ability to protect the curcuit. This happens when you run to small of a fuse in an amp but just barely too small. Like a 50amp in a 60amp spot [/QUOTE]
