Does this have a fuse that we have to replace or does it work like a circuit breaker where there is a switch to turn power back on?

it works like a circuit breaker. when overloaded it switches off. After that, then switch it back on.

The switch is not visible in the posted picture. It is located on the end (edge) right beside where the cord attaches to the main unit.

The fuse holder is between the switch and outlet. It pops out with a small flat head screwdriver.

I doubt if many/any of us have tripped the breaker, so you might not get a solid answer. I've been using two of these for 18 months or so, and have never pushed them that far (nor would I recommend you try to run &gt;15 amps). But it's a circuit breaker, not a fuse, so you should just be able to press the reset button (after reducing the load, obviously!) Hopefully you'll get someone to answer who's actually tripped the breaker, but in absence of that, I wouldn't be concerned about it; that's how a circuit breaker works.

My box has a circuit breaker. I added a 50amp in-line fuse with a battery disconnect switch.

A wire. I can't remember if it took batteries for back up if the power went out. It's been a while since we had it.

No, but you will need to turn that breaker off. Use a meter and double check that there is no power on that circuit. If in doubt, then pull the wires for that circuit.

i am not sure if it does have a fuse, most of the time the fuses are in the plug side of the item, i have not check to see if there was a fuse all i know it works great for me

It's not. Fuse but a circuit breaker. It's under the white looking part of the panel.

no breakers or fuses come with this item. I got this unit just for the DC converter. that was all that I needed to repair my unit. I could buy the whole unit for same price as just the dc converter, easy to change out. THX Mark

It has a tab that pull out for fuses between the switch and the plug socket. Get gma fuses

It does not internally turn the outlet on or off. However, you should be able to wire the switch and the outlet either way you want the outlet to work.

If not a fuse, I would change the switch. Much cheaper than an hour labor at the dealer. Easy to replace.

No it does not, it's just a strip with a on/off switch and a circuit breaker. I run mine off a APC smart ups unit and SurgeX noise/surge suppressor connected to the mains

It does not have a fuse. The 12v plug that you would plug into this item will have the fuse.

It does NOT have permanent built in fuse! It's has a replaceable fuse, it uses the automotive type fuses.

No you have to change the fuses and circuit breakers over from your old one. Its not hard but suggest you put some notations down on paper it will help

Yes, it does. Tanya D. You need an 3 prong outlet or adapter piece.. Someone else also posted in their review questions, don't have too many appliances going that pull a lot of current while using it. It has blown a fuse when too many things are going. As it did with me.. But, outside of that, its very useful.
