Mobile Home Breakers & Fuses

Mobile home breakers & fuses play an important role in keeping you and your family safe. Breakers, also known as circuit breakers, are a small switch that automatically turn off or “trip” when they detect an overload of power in the circuit. Fuses have a small metal wire inside that melts when overloaded, cutting off the power to that circuit and protecting wires and appliances from issues. Fuses, unlike breakers, need to be replaced in the event of a power surge or failure.

These extremely important devices protect against electrical fires and damage to electrical appliances. Keeping your mobile home breakers and fuses in good condition is important. Replace them when showing signs of overheating or overuse. Shop mobile home breakers and fuses at American Supply and keep your family safe.

What Mobile Home Breakers do we Offer?

At American Mobile Home Supply, we carry products that are specially designed to meet mobile home safety requirements and sizes. We proudly carry the following breakers for you to choose from:

• Double-pole Breaker - Commonly used in mobile homes, controls two circuits at the same time. Usually used for bigger appliances.
• Single-pole Breaker - Controls one circuit at a time and is used with low-power items such as lights, small appliances, and outlets.
• Twin Double-pole Breaker - Also known as a tandem breaker, maximizes space in the electrical box, occupies a single breaker slot while allowing two circuits to connect.
• Ground Fault Breaker (GFCI) - Turns off the power of an entire circuit when imbalances occur, important for wet areas.

What Mobile Home Fuses do we Offer?

We carry a few different types of mobile home fuses to choose from, including:

• Cartridge Fuse - glass or ceramic body with metal end caps
• Blade Fuse - plastic body with metal prongs

Both types of fuses have a metal wire inside that breaks when the circuit is overloaded. This prevents damage to your electrical appliances and keeps your family and home safe.

How to Choose the Correct Breaker or Fuse?

Choosing the correct mobile home breaker and fuses depends on the appliances you have in your home and their fuse ratings. Double-pole breakers are your best choice for large appliances with higher fuse rating circuits, such as refrigerators or air conditioning units. For your everyday appliances, a single-pole breaker is the go-to.

Cartridge fuses are commonly used for higher voltage systems in mobile homes. Blade fuses are often used in automotive circuits and low-voltage systems.

You can have peace of mind knowing that whichever breakers and fuses you purchase from American Mobile Home Supply comply with HUD safety standards.
