KUOYUH 98 Series Circuit Breaker for Tarp Motor Rotary Switch Kit

A Tarp Motor Rotary Switch Kit often uses KUOYUH 98 series circuit breaker for several important reasons as below:

  1. Overcurrent Protection: KUOYUH 98 series circuit breaker protects the motor and wiring from damage due to excessive current. If the motor draws too much current (perhaps due to a stall condition or a short circuit), KUOYUH 98 series circuit breaker will trip and cut off power to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.
  2. Safety: It enhances the safety of the system by providing a fail-safe mechanism.In case of an electrical fault, KUOYUH 98 series circuit breaker will disconnect the power, reducing the risk of electric shock and other accidents.
  3. Motor Protection: Motors can be damaged by overcurrent conditions. KUOYUH 98 series circuit breaker helps protect the motor from damage that could be caused by prolonged periods of high current, thereby extending the life of the motor.
  4. Code Compliance: Electrical codes and standards often require the use of circuit protection devices like circuit breakers in motor circuits to ensure safe operation.

KUOYUH AR Series Circuit Breaker for Tarp Motor Rotary Switch Kit

A Tarp Motor Rotary Switch Kit often uses KUOYUH AR series automatic circuit breaker in its connection to the battery for the following reasons:

  1. Overload Protection

    KUOYUH AR series automatic circuit breaker prevents damage to the tarp motor and electrical components by cutting power if the motor draws excessive current, which can occur if the tarp mechanism jams or encounters a heavy load.

  2. Short Circuit Protection

    If a short circuit occurs in the wiring or motor, KUOYUH AR series circuit breaker immediately disconnects the power, avoiding damage to the battery, wiring, and switch kit.

  3. Resettable Protection

    Unlike fuses that need to be replaced after a fault, KUOYUH AR series automatic circuit breaker resets itself, making it more convenient for systems subjected to varying loads.

  4. Preventing Battery Drain

    KUOYUH AR series circuit breaker acts as a safety feature to prevent prolonged battery drainage in case of a fault or unintended continuous operation of the tarp motor.

  5. Durability and Longevity

    By protecting against electrical faults, KUOYUH AR series circuit breaker helps extend the life of the tarp motor, switch kit, and associated wiring.

  6. Compliance with Electrical Standards

    Many electrical systems require protective devices like circuit breakers to ensure safe operation, particularly in motor-driven applications like tarp systems.


Both the KUOYUH 98 series circuit breaker and the KUOYUH AR series automatic circuit breaker are excellent choices for enhancing the safety, reliability, and efficiency of a Tarp Motor Rotary Switch Kit.
